摘要/Abstract

摘要： 探索式创新有助于企业通过改变技术轨道来实现转型升级。通过对83家中国上市电子企业2005-2010年的面板数据,采用随机效应的负二项式模型,分析企业技术多样化结构二元平衡、企业内聚性与探索式创新绩效的关系,结果表明:(1)相对相关技术多样化与探索式创新绩效呈倒U型关系,即技术多样化结构二元平衡时探索式创新绩效最大;(2)在中国转型经济背景下,电子行业竞争激烈且行业技术动态较大,企业内聚性会降低对已有技术利用的路径依赖,一定程度上会促进对不相关技术的探索,导致企业内聚性并不会正向调节相对相关技术多样化与探索式创新绩效间关系。因此,企业为了增强探索式创新绩效,需要维持技术多样化结构二元平衡。

Abstract: The exploratory innovation plays an important role in upgrading, which can change the trajectory of technology. An analysis of the relationships between binary equilibrium of related and non-related technological diversity, coherence and performance of exploratory innovations is made based on the panel data of 83 China listed electronic companies, and the results of Random-Effects Negative Binomial Model analysis indicate that, firstly, there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between relatively related technology diversification and performance of exploratory innovation, that is, binary equilibrium of related and non-related technological diversity maximizes performance of exploratory innovations; andsecondly, under the background of China transition economy and faced with dynamics of environment, enterprises may reduce the path dependence, and be prone to search, integrate and utilize non-related technology. Therefore, Coherence may not positively moderate the relationship between relatively related technology diversification and performance of exploratory innovation. Thus, in order to promote performance of exploratory innovation, enterprises should keep the balance between related and non-related technological diversity.

Key words: technology diversity, binary equilibrium, coherence, exploratory innovations
