An empirical research on adaptive reconfiguration of enterprise technological innovation capability: The evidence from 376 high-tech enterprises

Abstract

Abstract: Under the context of economic transition, the environmental adaptive reconfigurationof the enterprise technological innovation capability becomes the focus issue in both academia and industry. In recent studies, an empirical study about enterprise technological innovation capability reconfiguration and its boundary condition is lacked. In order to fill this gap, this paper, based on the perspectives of dynamic capability and organizational ambidexterity, and by means of the data of 376 high-tech enterprises from China, identified the adaptive reconfiguration path of high-tech enterprise technological innovation capability, through which the innovation performance can be improved. The research result shows that "realized absorptive capacity→knowledge integration capability→knowledge creation capability" is a superior adaptive reconfiguration path of high-tech enterprise technological innovation capability. When the environment is more dynamic, its superiority is more obvious. This finding not only filled the gap on the field of capability reconfiguration and technological innovation, but also has managerial implication on the enterprises' innovation and development under the context of economic transition.

Key words: technological innovation capability, adaptive reconfiguration, environmental dynamism, empirical research
