知识耦合对企业突破式创新的影响机制研究

本文整合知识基础观和创新管理相关理论，利用中国142家A股上市的高技术产业公司在2010-2014年间的面板数据，采用随机效应的负二项式回归模型，探讨了企业知识耦合对其突破式创新的作用机理，以及技术多样性对知识耦合与突破式创新关系的调节作用。研究发现，原有技术领域间的知识耦合负向影响企业的突破式创新，而新技术领域与原有技术领域之间的知识耦合正向影响企业的突破式创新；技术多样性正向调节原有技术领域间的知识耦合对企业突破式创新的影响，而负向调节新旧技术领域间的知识耦合对企业突破式创新的影响。通过构建知识耦合视角下知识基础动态变化对突破式创新影响的理论框架，本文丰富了知识与创新管理领域的研究成果，为企业选择合适的知识耦合方式来展开突破式创新提供了理论参考。

Impact of Knowledge Couplings on Firm Radical Innovation: The Moderating Effect of Technological Diversity

This paper integrates the knowledge-based view and innovation management theory, and studies the impact of knowledge couplings on firms’ radical innovation, and the moderating effect of firms’ technological diversity on the relationship between knowledge couplings and firms’ radical innovation, by the panel data of 142 listed Chinese firms during 2010 to 2014 and using random-effects negative binomial regression model. Our findings reveal that the couplings among existing knowledge domains has a negative effect on firms’ radical innovation, and the couplings new and existing knowledge domains has a positive effect on firms’ radical innovation. The results also show that firms’ technological diversity positively moderates the relationship between the couplings among existing knowledge domains and firms’ radical innovation, but negatively moderates the effect of the couplings new and existing knowledge domains on firms’ radical innovation. We develop arguments to explain how changes in knowledge base affect the generation of radical innovation. This paper enriches the research production of knowledge and innovation management, and provides a theoretical basis for firms’ radical innovation to choose the appropriate knowledge couplings.
