摘要: 我国海外投资企业日益关注东道国创造性资产寻求,希望借此实现自主创新能力提升,那么如何获取东道国知识资源成为亟待解决的难题。在外商在华FDI活动中,我国企业往往借助知识和技术溢出效应获取资源和提升技术水平,而在我国向发达国家的OFDI活动中,这一方式则不太适用,我国企业需要更具主动性和针对性的知识获取途径和共享模式,而由海外子公司向母公司的针对性逆向知识转移则更能有效满足我国企业的特定资源需求,并有助于我国企业实现自主创新能力提升。本文试图从逆向知识转移方式出发,探究其作为我国企业获取东道国创造性资产路径的可行性,同时深入研究其影响因素和内在作用机制。为揭示我国跨国公司母公司微观因素对逆向知识转移的推动作用,本文围绕母公司战略因素和子公司逆向知识转移评价设计问卷,以我国海外投资企业问卷调研数据为基础,采用中介效应检验和结构方程模型探究了母公司国际化动因,子公司影响力对逆向知识转移的影响作用。实证结果证实以上两类因素对逆向转移的应用和创新效果具有促进作用,其中国际化动因体现为对海外创造性资产寻求的重视程度,子公司影响力从母公司对子公司的战略、文化和股权控制三方面实现对逆向知识转移的显著影响,而创造性资产的影响作用还通过转移意愿的中介效应体现,子公司影响力则借由渠道建设的中介作用实现。最后综合实证分析和华为案例佐证的结论,本文构建基于母公司战略和子公司影响力、转移意愿和渠道建设的逆向知识转移作用机制,为我国企业实践提供对策建议:(1)鼓励我国海外投资企业关注创造性资产寻求,尤其关注东道国技术、管理、市场和文化知识。(2)鼓励创造性资产寻求动因,提高对子公司的战略、文化和股权控制水平,提升子公司绩效对母公司的影响力,借以促进子公司逆向转移意愿;同时借由母公司控制程度提升,激励子公司完善渠道建设,实现基于编码和人员的双轨道知识转移系统,从而促进逆向转移效果。(3)增强全资子公司或控股合资等高控制度的海外市场进入模式实现更高水平的股权控制,同时通过对子公司的统一战略规划和资源支持加强其战略控制水平,通过构建更具内部凝聚力和控制力的强文化体系来加强对子公司的文化影响。(4)不仅关注逆向知识转移后的知识应用过程,更关注知识再创新和自主创新过程,实现后发国家的技术追赶。

Abstract: in order to enhance the independent innovation capability, Chinese enterprises have paid more and more attention on achieving creative assets of domestic countries in investing overseas. So it became much important to discuss how to achieve modern knowledge from other countries. Comparing to the knowledge spillover and technology spillover in FDI from foreign enterprises, to achieve resources and promote the technology level, reverse knowledge transfer from subsidiaries to parent companies in MNEs would be more initiative and effective for Chinese enterprises in the OFDI activities, especially in order to achieve the specific resources and to enhance the independent innovation capabilities. And this paper would try to introduce reverse knowledge transfer into creative-assets achieving investment and improve the possibility of RKT in sharing modern knowledge from domestic countries. In order to reveal the microcosmic factors from the parent companies to encourage the RKT, this paper has introduced a newly-developed questionnaire for the strategic factors and RKT evaluations in Chinese enterprises. And based on the surveying data from Chinese enterprises investing overseas, we have applied the mediation test and structural equation modeling into the research of the effecting factors in RKT. Then it has been found out that the investing motivation and subsidiary power made remarkable effects on the knowledge application and knowledge innovation of reverse knowledge transfer, while the effect of the investing motivation was measured by the creative assets achieving motivation, and the subsidiary power was measured by the controlling degree on subsidiaries through strategy control, culture control and stock control. Furthermore, this paper has also found out that the effect of investing motivation was transmitted by the mediating effect of transferring willing, and the effect of subsidiary power was mainly transmitted by the transferring channels. According to the above conclusions and the supporting analysis of the case study in Huawei, we could establish the reverse knowledge transfer mechanism and make suggestions to Chinese enterprise to achieving creative assets: (1) to encourage the creative assets achieving investment in Chinese MNEs, especially focusing on technology, management skills and marketing, cultural knowledge; (2) to enhance the subsidiary power by increasing the controlling degree in strategy, culture and stock control so as to promote the reverse transferring willing and to improve the transferring channels through a two-way knowledge transferring system by the coding channel and the staff channel; (3) to introduce more and more wholly-owned subsidiaries and holding joint ventures in the overseas investments so as to increase the stock controlling degree; to introduce the unify strategic planning and resource supporting to increase the strategic controlling degree; to develop a highly cohesive culture system to increase the culture controlling degree; (4) to pay more attention to the knowledge designing and innovating besides knowledge applying in order to realize the technology catch-up for our country.
