摘要/Abstract

摘要： 创新生态系统反映了异质性组织间围绕共同价值主张所形成的创新活动协调机制，是近年来企业管理领域的关键学术议题。本文关注创新生态系统的定量研究，系统性采集1856篇关联文献，采用文献计量与内容分析方法开展文献综述。主要研究结论如下：第一，现有基于定量分析的创新生态系统研究形成了企业隶属、技术连接、交互机制三类文献簇并涌现相关主题。第二，在定量测度方面，企业隶属与技术连接文献簇均关注构成维度和关系维度的测度与量化分析，其定量分析方法的使用在节点、指标、建模方式等方面形成差异，并在交互机制文献簇之中实现研究方法的耦合。第三，构建定量分析下创新生态系统“企业隶属-技术连接-交互机制”的整合框架，强调创新过程中主体与技术适配、供给与需求协同，在交互过程中实现价值创造与价值获取。相关文献的评述，是挖掘创新生态系统量化研究底层逻辑的尝试，能够补充当前创新生态系统文献以定性研究为主、定量研究少且缺乏综合评述的研究缺口，提供创新生态系统后续量化实证研究发展展望，并为学术、商业与政策实践等输出管理启示。

Abstract: Innovation ecosystems are characterized by the coordination mechanisms among diverse organizations around shared value propositions. This topic has become a significant academic issue in business management recently. This study reviewed the innovation ecosystems based on the quantitative analysis, and analyzed 1856 pertinent journal papers through bibliometric and content analysis techniques. The main findings include: Firstly, quantitative research on innovation ecosystems has identified three literature clusters related to corporate affiliation, technology connections and interaction mechanisms, with emerging related themes. Secondly, regarding quantitative measurements, both corporate affiliation and technology connections concentrate on analyzing the composition and relationship dimensions, developing distinct quantitative methods in terms of nodes, indicators, and modeling techniques; and despite their differences, they converge in research methods at the interaction mechanisms level. Thirdly, this study proposed an integrated framework combining “corporate affiliation-technology connections-interaction mechanisms” within the innovation ecosystem′s quantitative analysis. It highlights the importance of adapting between corporates and technologies during innovation, coordinating supply and demand to facilitate value creation and value capture through interactions. Reviewing the innovation ecosystem literature based on the quantitative analysis is an attempt to fill the current gap dominated by qualitative rather than quantitative research and lack of quantitative reviews. This will suggest directions for future quantitative empirical studies on innovation ecosystems and offer insights for integrating theory into academic, commercial, and policy-making practices.
