战略柔性在分维度企业家导向与原始性创新的中介作用

摘要/Abstract

摘要：

根据创新理论，企业进行创新需要对其所具有的生产要素进行新的整合，企业需要培育战略柔性来缓解创新所需的成本压力，也需要更有柔性的组织架构来提高资源的使用效率。企业家导向理论认为，具有企业家导向的企业更倾向于追求创新，尤其对资源需求巨大的原始性创新而言，很多企业都因为缺乏内在柔性并最终影响创新结果。基于对全国303家企业的双份调研数据，本研究整合了企业家导向理论和柔性战略视角，构建了基于企业家导向与原始性创新间关系的中介模型，提出了战略柔性在企业家导向与企业原始性创新关系间起中介作用的六个假设。通过结构方程模型对上述假设进行检验，表明战略柔性在分维度的企业家导向对原始性创新的影响上中介作用显著。本文拓展了企业家导向理论，并对中国企业根据企业家导向的三个维度（创新性、先动性、风险承担性）如何促进企业原始性创新提出实践建议，具有一定的理论和实践参考价值。

Abstract:

Based on entrepreneurial orientation and the perspective of strategic flexibility, this paper demonstrates a theoretical mediation research framework that proposes a hypothesis about the mediating effect of strategic flexibility on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and original innovation. Empirical study is conducted to examine the hypothesis raised by the model based on double sample data collected from 303 Chinese enterprises. Results show that two dimensions of strategic flexibility indeed have a significant influence on the relationship between different dimensions of EO and original innovation.

Key words: innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking, strategic flexibility, original innovation
