An empirical research on the influence of interface functions on enterprise performance in the open innovation environment

Abstract

Abstract: Based on theoretical researches, this paper constructs the relationship model between enterprise interface functions and enterprise performance, and studies the influence of enterprise interface functions onthe enterprise performance in the open innovation environment through an effective questionnaire survey of chemical engineering design enterprises with engineering design integrated qualification Class-Ain China. The results show that both interface functions and enterprise openness have positive impacts on enterprise performance, and the openness has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between interface functions and enterprise performance. Finally, this paper points out the main conclusion, innovation spot and deficiency, and puts forward suggestions to the management of chemical engineering design enterprises in China.

Key words: chemical engineering design enterprises, openness, interface functions, enterprise performance
