摘要：    战略联盟可以弥补单一企业创新过程中的资源与能力约束，但也存在联盟主体间利益冲突、机会主义与道德风险等隐患，亟须有效治理。然而目前关于治理结构如何影响焦点企业创新绩效的研究尚不足。本文基于分权理论与信息处理理论，探究战略联盟分权治理对焦点企业创新绩效的非线性影响机制与边界条件。收集战略联盟内焦点企业及其联盟合作伙伴的配对数据236份，采用层次回归法和Bootstrap检验对数据进行分析。研究发现：（1）分权治理对焦点企业创新绩效具有倒U型影响，即适度的分权是提升战略联盟焦点企业创新绩效的最优治理结构；（2）分权治理对联盟伙伴信息阐释具有倒U型影响，联盟伙伴信息阐释对焦点企业创新绩效具有正向影响，联盟伙伴信息阐释在分权治理与焦点企业创新绩效的倒U型关系中起中介作用；（3）联盟协调能力是焦点企业获得治理优势的关键能力，其调节并扁平化焦点企业分权治理与联盟伙伴信息阐释的倒U型关系，并进一步调节且扁平化分权治理通过联盟伙伴信息阐释影响焦点企业创新绩效的倒U型关系。研究发现对于战略联盟焦点企业治理策略的选择和创新绩效的提升具有重要管理启示。

Abstract:    Strategic alliances can mitigate the constraints of resources and capabilities in the innovation processes of individual firms, but they also harbor potential risks like conflicts of interest, opportunism, and moral hazard, which necessitate effective governance. However, research on how governance structures impact the focal firm′s innovation performance is currently insufficient. Drawing on the decentralization theory and the information processing theory, this paper explored the nonlinear impact mechanisms and boundary conditions of decentralized governance in strategic alliances on the innovation performance of focal firms. The data from 236 matched pairs of focal firms and their alliance partners were analyzed using the hierarchical regression and Bootstrap methods. The study found that: (1) Decentralized governance has an inverted U-shaped impact on the innovation performance of focal firms, indicating that moderate decentralization is the optimal governance structure for enhancing innovation performance in strategic alliances; (2) Decentralized governance also exerts an inverted U-shaped impact on the alliance partners′ information elaboration, which positively affects the innovation performance of focal firms. The alliance partners′ information elaboration mediates the inverted U-shaped relationship between decentralized governance and the innovation performance of focal firms; (3) Alliance coordination capability is a key capability for focal firms to gain governance advantages. It moderates and flattens the inverted U-shaped relationship between decentralized governance and the alliance partners′ information elaboration. It also moderates and flattens the relationship through which decentralized governance affects the innovation performance of focal firms via the alliance partners′ information elaboration. These findings will offer significant managerial implications for selecting governance strategies and enhancing innovation performance in strategic alliances.
