New, technology-based firms in small open economies—An analysis based on the Finnish experience

This paper analyses the roles and impacts of new, technology-based firms (NTBFs) in a small open economy, with empirical data from Finland. It is suggested that in small open economies, NTBFs may fall into a resource trap, which might result in their being relatively less growth oriented than NTBFs in countries where the domestic market is larger. Consequently, in small open economies, the systemic impact of NTBFs could be emphasised rather than their organic growth in terms of the employment that they create.     

Impact of the length of relationships upon the use of research institutes by SMEs

Recent studies of US industrial modernisation programmes argue that difficulties of establishing long-term relationships with users prevent them from facilitating development of innovation capabilities. The paper supports this argument through a survey of Japanese research institutes the US programmes were modelled on. In view of information asymmetries in their use, it tests the hypothesis that small and medium-sized firms start using the research institutes with ‘low information gap’ services and gradually move on to ‘high information gap’ services that often require more absorptive capacity. This is demonstrated both under one-to-one relationships and between groups of firms and a research institute.     

加强党的建设促进新建本科高校内涵式发展——以辽宁科技学院四年发展为例

以改革创新精神加强和改进高校党建工作是高校改革发展的重要政治任务和时代课题。新建本科院校面临着自身发展建设中的特殊性问题及外延发展与提升内涵并重的多重压力,因此,学校的党建工作也面临着重要、艰巨而紧迫的任务。文章以辽宁科技学院为例,就如何以党建促进学校内涵式发展,推进学校教育教学改革紧跟经济社会和高等教育飞速发展和快速变化的形势要求,探索并提出了通过开拓创新党建工作解决新建本科院校生存发展问题的有效途径。     

基于开发性学习的后发企业创新能力形成机制研究

运用序惯博弈模型分析了发达国家企业技术溢出率与后发企业进行开发性学习投入的形成机制。研究结果表明,在技术溢出仅从在位企业向后发企业单向溢出的假设下,当技术溢出率相对较大时,后发企业就有可能从在位企业那里获得技术溢出上的收益,更愿意成为追随者,但同时也降低了开发性学习投入上的动力。在技术溢出率足够小的情况下,后发企业更愿意选择同步进行开发性学习投入。随着技术溢出率的边际递减,在某一临界点开发性学习是后发企业提高创新能力和实施追赶效应的战略性投入。     

The role of corporate technology strategy and patent portfolios in low-, medium- and high-technology firms

Previous research into technology strategies and patent portfolios has focused on high-technology firms, whereas low- and medium-technology companies have been relatively neglected. Therefore, we analyze how corporate technology strategy and the size and composition of patent portfolios affect the performance of low-, medium- and high-technology firms. Data from 136 European companies are used to examine four hypotheses relating financial performance to technological diversification, technological aggressiveness, patent portfolio size, and patent portfolio quality. The cross-industry sample allows analyzing the different consequences of these strategic parameters in low-, medium- and high-technology firms by considering technological intensity as a moderator. Our first finding is that the positive impact of technological aggressiveness is limited in low- and medium-technology companies. Secondly, technological diversification has a positive effect in high-technology firms and a negative effect in low-technology firms. Thirdly, patent portfolio size has a positive effect only in high-technology firms. Finally, patent portfolio quality has an equally positive influence on all firms’ performance. In part, these results conflict with the findings of previous research into high-technology companies, and they call for rethinking the role of technology strategies and intellectual property portfolios in firms across industries.

基于破坏性创新的后发企业市场进入时机选择

后发企业选择以何种方式、何种时机进入市场将在很大程度决定着其市场进入的成败以及能否更好地实施后续追赶计划,作为当前创新领域和战略领域研究的前沿和热点,破坏性创新为后发企业的市场进入战略选择提供了一条新路径。本文以破坏性创新理论为基础,借助小米公司在智能手机市场的成功案例对\"后发企业市场进入时机选择\"这一问题进行探索性研究,研究发现:在市场时机选择方面,庞大的市场需求以及层级分明的市场竞争是后发企业能够成功进入市场的前提条件;在技术时机选择方面,成熟的技术、较低的技术获取成本和技术获取难度对于后发企业的市场进入起着重要作用;在产业时机选择方面,新型产业价值链的形成以及成熟的产业环境将在很大程度上决定着后发企业市场进入的成败;在政策时机选择方面,产业政策扶持和融资政策扶持则为后发企业的市场进入提供了更多的保障。     

中国企业自主创新存在本土市场效应吗？

 本文利用2001年至2007年中国制造业企业微观数据系统考察了本土市场效应对企业自主创新行为的影响。通过运用面板Probit模型,研究发现无论是从创新投入还是创新产出来看,总体上本土企业自主创新活动中存在本土市场效应。进一步研究发现,市场分割、收入差距和市场化程度等因素对本土市场效应的发挥有着明显的影响,但是对于不同所有制企业影响效果存在明显差异。我们采用工具变量控制内生性以后,以上结论依然成立。
