The Change of Enterprise Technological Innovation Capability System and Its Performance Impact Mechanism——New Paradigm of Haier Open Innovation

Abstract

Abstract:

Open innovation is the main trend of the current corporate innovation behavior. However, the result and the mechanism of open innovation on the innovation performance of enterprises still remain controversial. This paper chooses Haier Group as a typical case and reveals the relationship between open innovation, technological capability and innovation performance. It analyzes and summarizes the change of enterprise technological innovation capability system and its performance in the context of open innovation. The research shows that with the continuous deepening of the Internet scenarios, Haier's technology capability system has undergone three different stages:assisted open innovation, complementary open innovation and iterative open innovation. Its capability has developed from imitating learning ability to independent research and development and to combining iteration. At the same time, the ability to combine iteration through the logic of knowledge integration directly affects the innovation performance of enterprises. This work contributes to the research on the mechanism of open innovation performance. It opens up in theory the role of open innovation in improving innovation performance by enhancing the capability of independent research and development.

Key words: open innovation, technological innovation capability, innovation performance
