摘要: 为了破解技术创新网络迭代创新的微观机理,本研究基于竞争期望理论视角,透析了持续性和范围性期望落差对迭代创新的影响,探究了惯例复制的中介作用以及组织即兴的调节作用,并结合中国企业创新实践数据进行实证检验。结果表明:期望落差具有纵向时间和横向多元特征的维度拓展;持续性期望落差、范围性期望落差的解构维度对迭代创新存在正向影响;惯例复制在期望落差与迭代创新间发挥差异化的中介作用,常规惯例复制在持续性期望落差与迭代创新间起部分中介作用,柔性惯例复制在范围性期望落差与迭代创新间起部分中介作用;组织即兴正向调节常规惯例复制对迭代创新的影响,而在柔性惯例复制与迭代创新之间作用不显著;组织即兴正向调节常规惯例复制在持续性期望落差与迭代创新间的中介作用,存在被调节的中介效应,对柔性惯例复制的中介作用不存在显著调节。研究结论对于网络组织抓住技术范式转变的窗口,实现创新从跟跑、并跑到领跑的阶段转换有重要意义。

Abstract: In order to uncover the microcosmic mechanism of iterative innovation, this paper analyzes the negative attainment discrepancy and effect on iterative innovation from the perspective of competitive aspiration, and further examines the mediating effect of routines replication and the moderating effect of organizational improvisation. Then an empirical test is made with survey data of high-tech enterprises in China. The results show that: the negative attainment discrepancy can be divided into dimensions of duration and scope, and the duration of negative attainment discrepancy and the scope of negative attainment discrepancy have significant positive effect on iterative innovation. Conventional routines replication has meditative effects between the duration of negative attainment discrepancy and iterative innovation. Flexible routines replication has meditative effects between the scope of negative attainment discrepancy and iterative innovation. The organizational improvisation positively moderates the effect between conventional routines replication and iterative innovation, but has no significant effect between flexible routines replication and iterative innovation. Organizational improvisation enhances the meditative effect of conventional routines replication. There exist moderated mediation effects, but organizational improvisation cannot enhance flexible routines replication’ meditative effects. This research has important practical implications for organizations to grasp the technological window of opportunity so as to realize the transition of innovation from catch-up to leading.
