摘要/Abstract

摘要： 互补性资产对企业核心技术能力具有重要作用，但是互补性资产如何促进核心技术能力提升的过程机制尚不清楚。本文基于后发企业技术追赶过程的视角，通过海天2001—2018年的纵向案例研究发现：在技术追赶过程中，后发企业互补性资产对核心技术能力的主导作用机制存在动态变化。在初始阶段，互补性资产通过缓冲机制促进后发企业的模仿能力；在转型阶段，互补性资产通过管道机制促进后发企业的改进能力；在超越阶段，互补性资产通过棱镜机制促进后发企业的创新能力。本研究既从过程视角填补了互补性资产对核心技术能力提升的动态过程机制缺口，又从互补性资产视角拓展了技术追赶理论。

关键词: 互补性资产, 核心技术能力, 后发企业, 技术追赶

Abstract: Complementary assets play an important role in an enterprise's core technological competence, but the process mechanism of how complementary assets promote core technological competence is unclear. Based on the process perspective of technological catch-up for latecomer firms, through a longitudinal case study of Haitian(2001-2018), this research gets some key findings. In the process of technological catch-up, there is a dynamic change in the dominant mechanism of complementary assets on core technological competence for latecomer enterprises. In the initial stage, complementary assets promote the imitative competence of latecomers through the buffer mechanism. In the transformation stage, complementary assets promote the improved competence of latecomers through the pipe mechanism. In the surpassing stage, complementary assets promote the innovative competence of latecomers through the prism mechanism. This research not only fills the gap in the dynamic mechanism of core technological competence by complementary assets from a process perspective, but also expands the technology catch-up theory from a perspective of complementary assets.
