跨组织管控机制如何影响企业突变创新？——基于管理控制“系统观”视角的实证分析

摘要/Abstract

摘要：

关于企业突变创新的影响因素一直是理论界与实务界积极探索的重大课题。本研究根据管理控制的系统观，利用中国制造业企业与供应商关系的调查数据，实证考察了跨组织管控机制对企业突变创新的影响及其权变条件。研究发现，无论是跨组织正式控制机制（结果控制与行为控制），还是非正式控制机制（信任控制）都与企业突变创新表现出显著的正向关联性。结果控制与行为控制对突变创新的影响存在替代关系；信任控制与行为控制对突变创新的影响具有互补关系。进一步研究发现，环境不确定性会减弱结果控制与突变创新之间的关系，但加强了行为控制对突变创新的作用效果，其对信任控制与突变创新之间关系的影响不显著。研究结果表明，在外部环境不确定性程度较高的情况下，加强对组织间合作关系的行为控制更有助于推动企业突变创新。

Abstract:

Finding out the factors that influence enterprises' innovation is significantly meaningful in both theory and practice. Based on the systematic view of management control, this paper examines the impact of inter-organizational control mechanisms on enterprises' radical innovation and their contingency conditions by using the survey data of the relationship between Chinese manufacturing enterprises and their suppliers. The empirical results show that both formal control mechanisms (outcome control and behavior control) and informal mechanisms (trust control) have direct positive effects on enterprises' innovation. Outcome control and behavior control have a substituting effect on innovation outcomes; the effect of trust control and behavior control on innovation outcomes exhibit a complementary relationship. Further study shows that environmental uncertainty weakens the relationship between outcome control and innovation outcomes, but strengthens the relationship between behavior control and innovation outcomes. The moderating effect of environmental uncertainty on the relationship between trust control and innovation is not significant. Our study indicates that in the case of higher degree of environmental uncertainty, strengthening the behavior control for the inter-organizational partnership will better drive enterprises' innovation.

Key words: outcome control, behavior control, trust control, environmental uncertainty, radical innovation
