摘要:

开放式创新背景下,如何驱动集群协同创新是产业集群转型研究的重要问题。以集群网络核心企业作为切入点,从网络能力视角,探索核心企业网络能力是否、如何以及何时对集群企业探索式和利用式协同创新绩效产生影响,揭示核心企业引领集群协同创新的机制“黑箱”。基于5个地区16个产业集群的55家核心企业以及231家集群成员企业的实证数据,运用Mplus检验模型进行实证分析。研究结果显示:(1)网络能力是核心企业引领集群协同创新的重要因素,核心企业的网络能力对集群企业探索式和利用式协同创新的促进作用明显。(2)双重网络嵌入是核心企业网络能力与集群企业协同创新之间的中介“桥梁”。(3)环境动态性和集群企业知识整合能力在核心企业网络能力与集群协同创新之间发挥有中介的调节作用。外部环境动态性和集群企业知识整合能力越强,核心企业网络能力对集群企业协同创新的积极影响越明显。(4)环境动态性的调节作用部分通过双重网络嵌入中介作用实现,而知识整合能力的调节效应完全借助双重网络嵌入的中介作用实现。最后,从利益相关者的视角,对集群企业、核心企业以及政府部门分别提出了相应的管理实践建议。

Abstract:

In the context of open innovation, how to drive the collaborative innovation within an industrial cluster has been a hot topic in the area of industrial cluster transformation and updating. Because ofits core position in innovation network, the focal firm was considered as a significant antecedent variable influencing collaborative innovation performance of non-core enterprises. However, the present literatures fail to explain the relationship between the characteristics of focal firms and the cluster collaborative innovation. To fill this gap, from the perspective of network capability, we establish a mechanism model to identify whether, how and when the network capability of focal firms has an effect on the cluster collaborative innovation. Based on the empirical data of 144 focal firms and 358 non-core enterprises gathered from 24 industrial clusters in five different provinces of China, the theoretical hypothesis is verified by the Mplus method. Research results demonstrate that:(1) Network capability is an important factor for core firms leading the cluster collaborative innovation, and the network capability of core firms is positively related to exploratory and exploitative collaborative innovation; (2) Network capability of core firms affects the cluster collaborative innovation via dual network embeddedness; (3) Environment dynamic and knowledge integration capacity of cluster enterprises have a moderated mediation effect on the relationship between network capability of core firms and cluster collaborative innovation, which means that the direct effect of network capability on cluster collaborative innovation is significantly stronger when either environment dynamic or knowledge integration capacity is high; (4) the moderating effect of environmental dynamic is realized partly through the mediating effect of dual network embeddedness, while the moderating effect of knowledge integration capacity is realized fully by the mediating effect of dual network embeddedness. Finally, from the perspective of stakeholders, corresponding management suggestions are proposed for focal firms, the non-core cluster enterprises and government authorities.
