知识转移对联盟企业创新绩效的作用机理——以战略柔性为中介

为揭示战略柔性影响下知识转移对联盟企业创新绩效的作用机理,梳理现有相关文献并探索性的提出知识转移、战略柔性与联盟企业创新绩效关系的研究假设,以山西、天津等华北地区联盟企业的301份有效调查问卷为样本,采用基于最大似然估计法的结构方程模型进行实证分析。研究结果表明,知识转移可以显著地提升不同类型的战略柔性(资源柔性与能力柔性);能力柔性正向影响联盟企业创新绩效,而资源柔性却相反;知识转移在受到资源柔性负向传导效应的干扰下仍然可以正向作用于联盟企业创新绩效。本研究在推进相关理论研究的同时,也为联盟企业创新实践提供一个新的指导依据。

Impact of knowledge transfer on innovative performance of the alliance enterprises by taking strategic flexibility as a mediating factor

To uncover how knowledge transfer affects innovative performance of the alliance enterprise, this paper puts forward a series of hypotheses among knowledge transfer, strategic flexibility and innovative performance of the alliance enterprise by reviewing relevant documentations. 301 valid questionnaires conducted tothe alliance enterprises in North China (e.g. Tianjin, Shanxi) were analyzed by taking structural equation model based on the maximum likelihood estimation. The results of this study show that knowledge transfer can significantly improve different strategic flexibility (resource flexibility and capability flexibility); the innovative performance of the alliance enterprises is positively affected by capability flexibility but negatively affected by resource flexibility. Interestingly, knowledge transfer can still positively affect the innovative performance of the alliance enterprises although it is distracted by the negative conduction of resource flexibility. This study promotes the correlation theory research and offers a new guidance for the innovation practice of the alliance enterprises.
