摘要/Abstract

摘要： 在百年未有之大变局下，全球外部环境充满动荡性和不确定性，创新质量的提升是高新技术企业高质量发展的内在要求。本文利用2013—2019年387家中国A股上市的高新技术企业为研究对象，探索了“技术搜寻—吸收能力—高新技术企业创新质量”的关系机理。研究得出：技术搜寻宽度和技术搜寻深度与高新技术企业创新质量均呈非线性的倒U型关系，平衡型技术搜寻显著正向影响高新技术企业创新质量。进一步研究发现，不同的吸收能力在技术搜寻与高新技术企业创新质量关系中具有异质性的中介传导作用。本文研究结论丰富和深化了技术搜寻和吸收能力对创新质量影响机理的研究，同时为高新技术企业管理人员的知识管理和创新管理战略决策提供理论借鉴。

关键词: 技术搜寻, 创新质量, 吸收能力, 多重中介

Abstract: Under the unprecedented changes in a century, the outside global environment is full of turbulence and uncertainty, and high-tech firms have to improve their innovation quality to achieve high-quality development. This paper uses 387 Chinese high-tech firms that got A-share listed from 2013 to 2019 as research samples to explore the mechanism of how technology search and absorptive capability influence high-tech firms’ innovation quality. The results show that the breadth and depth of technology search both have a non-linear inverted U-shaped relationship with the innovation quality of high-tech firms, and the balanced technology search significantly promotes the innovation quality of high-tech firms. Further research shows that different absorptive capabilities have heterogeneous mediating effects on the relationship between technology search and innovation quality of high-tech firms. The research conclusions enrich and deepen the study on the mechanism of how technology search and absorptive capability influence innovation quality, and provide theoretical reference for high-tech firms’ managers to develop the strategy of knowledge management and innovation management.

Key words: technology search, innovation quality, absorptive capability, multiple mediating effect
