Abstract

Distributed innovation(DI) has emerged as a new innovation model for firms to deal with challenges of economic globalization and knowledge economy. The black box of DI for Chinese firms to integrate global resources in innovation internationalization is urgent to be opened. Based on the literature review of DI at home and abroad, this paper dispels DI into three elements as distributed structure, distributed perceive and distributed collaboration, and constructs the theoretical model with relative hypothesis to depict the relationship between DI elements, knowledge sharing and innovation performance. Then this paper conducts a large sample survey to test the hypothesis, proving that three DI elements affects enterprise innovation performance through three knowledge sharing mechanisms.Based on the above analysis the paper puts forward managerial suggestions for our firms to implement distributed innovation practice.
