以资源重构为中介的平行搜索对后发企业协同追赶的影响研究

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 在技术和市场双轮驱动的转型背景下，后发企业如何摆脱“落后-追赶-落后”的追赶困境以实现技术和市场协同追赶值得关注。基于创新搜索、资源重构以及后发追赶相关理论，探究平行搜索对后发企业协同追赶的影响以及资源重构的中介机制，以212份调查样本进行实证分析并通过Bootstrap方法检验中介效应，揭开了平行搜索影响后发企业协同追赶的“黑箱”机制。研究表明：领先搜索与跟随搜索对后发企业协同追赶均有促进作用；领先搜索正向影响资源重组却负向影响资源重置，而跟随搜索对资源重组和资源重置的影响与之相反；资源重组和资源重置均对协同追赶有促进作用，二者在领先搜索和跟随搜索与协同追赶之间发挥部分中介作用。

Abstract: In the context of transformation driven by both technology and market, it is worth paying more attention to how latecomers could realize the synergistic catching-up of technology and market, instead of falling into the dilemma of "ending up laggard despite repeated catch-up". Based on the theory of innovative search, resource reconfiguration and latecomer catch-up, this paper constructs a framework for the relationship between parallel search and synergistic catching-up (SCU), introduces resource reconfiguration as a mediating variable, and then explores the impact of parallel search on SCU. Using survey samples from 212 latecomer enterprises, the proposed hypotheses are tested. And the mediation effect of resource reconfiguration is further tested by the method of Bootstrap. The results are as follows. (1) Leading search and following search have positive effect on the SCU of latecomers. (2) Leading search has a positive effect on resource reorganization but a negative effect on resource reallocation, while following search is the opposite. (3) Both resource reorganization and resource reallocation promote SCU, and either plays a partial mediating role between leading/following search and SCU.

Key words: leading search, following search, synergistic catching-up, resource reconfiguration, latecomers
