合作网络扩张对企业双元创新绩效的影响——知识重组的中介作用

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 基于知识基础观、社会网络理论和吸收能力理论，考察企业合作网络扩张（近距离扩张和远距离扩张）对企业探索性创新绩效和开发性创新绩效的影响，以及企业知识重组（邻接知识重组和非邻接知识重组）的中介作用。以通信设备产业的179家创新型企业为研究样本对研究假设进行实证检验，结果表明，企业近距离扩张能够促进开发性创新绩效的提升，而远距离扩张能够促进探索性创新绩效的提升；进一步研究发现，非邻接知识重组在远距离扩张与企业探索性创新绩效间起中介作用。本研究从合作网络动态视角阐释了企业提升双元创新绩效的实现路径，并揭示了合作网络动态影响企业双元创新绩效的内在传导机制。

Abstract: Based on the knowledge based view, social network theory and absorptive capability theory, this paper examines the impact of enterprise collaboration network expansion (close expansion and far expansion) on enterprise’ exploratory and exploitative innovation performance, and the mediating role of enterprise knowledge recombination (adjacency knowledge recombination and non-adjacency knowledge recombination). Using 179 enterprises in communication equipment industry to empirically test the research hypothesis, the study finds that enterprises’ close expansion can improve their exploitative innovation performance; enterprises’ far expansion can improve their exploratory innovation performance. Further research shows that the non-adjacency knowledge recombination plays a mediating role in the relationship between far expansion and exploratory innovation performance. This study demonstrates the realization path of enterprises’ dual innovation performance from dynamic perspective, and reveals the inner mechanism of how collaboration dynamics impacts enterprises’ dual innovation performance.

Key words: collaboration network expansion, knowledge recombination, dual innovation performance, communication equipment industry
