Control mechanisms, organizational ambidexterity and organizational creativity: An Empirical Study Liu Xinmei, Han Xiao, Bai Yang, Li Muhan 2013, 34(10): 1-9.  Abstract ( 1891 )   PDF (1KB) ( 2679 )   Based on the Dynamic Capability Theory, this paper constructs a framework including organizational control, organizational ambidexterity and organizational creativity under the input-process-output pradiagram. First, this paper analyzes the relationships among control mechanisms, organizational ambidexterity and organizational creativity. A total of 283 valid samples are used to test the theoretical hyphotheses and the results show that the integration of organizational ambidexterity has a positive impact on promoting the organizational creativity while on the condition of limited resources, focusing too much on the balance of organizational ambidexterity may hinder the organizational creativity. The results also indicate that the outcome control and the process control could not only influence directly the organizatoinal creativity positively, but also have an indirect effect on the organizational creativity through the combination and balance of organizational ambidexterity. The conclusions of this study is meaningful to guide the practices of the creativity strategy for medium and small-sized enterprises in China. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The impact of network embeddedness on innovation performance from the perspective of supply chain management Jian Zhaoquan, Han Zhaojun, Huo Baofeng 2013, 34(10): 27-34.  Abstract ( 1713 )   PDF (1KB) ( 2115 )   This paper studies the impact of two dimensions of the network embeddedness (relational embeddedness and structural embeddedness) on innovation performance and the mediating effect of knowledge sharing from the perspective of supply chain management. Based on the data collected from 255 high-tech companies in China, we examine the relationships among network embeddedness, knowledge sharing, and innovation performance using structural equation modeling method. The research results indicate that from the perspective of supply chain management, it is the relational embeddedness but not the structural embeddedness that has a significant positive influence on the innovation performance, and knowledge sharing plays only a partial mediating role in the relationship between relational embeddedness and innovation performance. The theoretical significance of this study is that it explores the role of the network embeddedness in the knowledge sharing and performance innovation from the perspective of supply chain management and the findings also provide some guidance for the innovation activities and supply chain practitioners.

Modeling and simulation of the knowledge increase process in the technology innovation network Yu Xianyun, Zeng Deming, Chen Yanli, Wen Jinyan 2013, 34(10): 35-41.  Abstract ( 1675 )   PDF (1KB) ( 2283 )   Based on the current studies at home and abroad in technology innovation networks, this paper examines the influence of technical innovation network density on network knowledge increase from the aspects of knowledge diffusion and knowledge innovation, and put forward a hypothesis that the network density has an inverted U-shaped relationship with knowledge increase. In order to test this hypothesis, a Multi-agent model was established, which demonstrates the process of knowledge increase in innovation network, and the NetLogo simulation platform was adopted to test the hypothesis. The results indicate that the effect of network density has the feature of duality. In other word, the network density will be disadvantageous to the knowledge increase of the innovation network when it is too high or too low. In the meantime, these results show that the inhibition of knowledge diffusion, which will then impede knowledge innovation, will appear when network density is too high and continue to increase.

The influence of vertical specialization on innovation performance and its industry differences—the empirical evidence from China’s high-tech industries Dai Kuizao 2013, 34(10): 42-49.  Abstract ( 1551 )   PDF (1KB) ( 2179 )   This paper selects the panel data of China's high-tech industries in the period of 1995 to 2010. Under the conditions of considering the input of R&D and the evolvement of marketization, the influence of vertical specialization on innovation performance and its industry differences are empirically examined by means of the GMM method of dynamic panel data. The results show that the vertical specialization makes a significant impact on innovation performance. Moreover, the impact is more significant after the WTO entry. However, the industry characteristics make a significant impact on the degree of which vertical specialization influences on innovation performance. In the industry which features in lower degree of monopoly or technology-intensiveness but higher degree of export-orientation, the influence of vertical specialization on innovation performance is more significant.

Impact of complementary assets synergy on enterprise performance—from the prospect of moderating effects of technological relatedness Jia Jun, Zhang Zhuo, Zhang Wei 2013, 34(10): 84-93.  Abstract ( 1653 )   PDF (1KB) ( 2235 )   When assessing the effects of the technological relatedness or complementary assets on the enterprise performance, most research has been carried out in isolation, neglecting the impact of the synergy of complementary assets on the enterprise performance and the moderation of the technological relatedness to them. By taking China's high-tech listed companies from 2004-2010 panel data as an example, the paper analyzes the relationship between complementary assets and enterprise performance and the moderation of the technological relatedness to their relationship. The results show that the synergy of complementary assets has a positive effect on the enterprise performance. The technological relatedness has a negative moderation to the relationship of the synergy of the manufacturing complementary assets and the marketing complementary assets on the enterprise performance. The technological relatedness has a positive moderation to the relationship of the synergy of the manufacturing complementary assets and the human complementary assets on the enterprise performance as well as to the relationship of the synergy of the marketing complementary assets and the human complementary assets on the enterprise performance. We conclude that while implementing the technological innovation strategy, strengthening the synergy of the technological relatedness and the professional complementary assets can give the enterprise the competitive advantage.

Study on Interactive relationship of different sources of R&D input and S&T output based on panel data and Panel VAR Model Yu Liping 2013, 34(10): 94-102.  Abstract ( 1945 )   PDF (1KB) ( 2230 )   This paper establishes a study framework based on the analysis of the interactive influence mechanism of S&T input and output, then analyzes the Interactive relationship between S&T input and output based on panel data, Granger causality, pane VAR model, focusing on the performance research of funds from different financing channels. The research results show that the government S&T input has a certain rigidity and relative independence and cannot drive the enterprise S&T input. The enterprise S&T input and the S&T bank loan combine relatively more closely. The S&T output has greatly promoted the enterprise S&T input and the feedback to other elements is small. From the perspective of the factor contribution, the elastic coefficient of the government S&T input is greater than that of the enterprise S&T input while the elastic coefficient of the S&T bank loan is negative and the R&D labor is independent of the S&T output.

A study of dynamics of market oriented organizational change Zhang Jing, Duan Yanling 2013, 34(10): 109-117.  Abstract ( 1635 )   PDF (1KB) ( 2410 )   Based on the cross-case study, this paper presents a conceptual framework incorporating the dynamics of market oriented organizational change from the theoretical perspective of organizational change. Based on a questionnaire survey, the conceptual framework is empirically tested and the magnitudes of the impacts of dynamics factors are compared. This paper comes to the following conclusions: the context dynamics which consist of institutional environment pressures (including the strategic alliance, system certification, benchmarking, management consultancy and competitive pressure) drive precipitating dynamics on the level of top managers' perception and behavior (including the leader's demonstration effect and change awareness in crisis) on one hand, and facilitate enabling dynamics which consist of internal supporting systems (including inter-functional connectedness, formalization, market-based reward system, market-based training and use of IT) on the other hand, and finally improve the market oriented organizational change process. This study is the first kind of research which probes into the implementation issue of market orientation among Chinese firms by combining cross-case study and questionnaire survey. It contributes greatly to the literature of market orientation, organizational change, institution-based view and leadership theory, and also can provide relevant managerial implications for Chinese firms to implement market oriented changes.

S&T evaluation model based on indicator value change and its empirical study on typical provinces Cheng Yanqiu, Chi Guotai, Li Gang 2013, 34(10): 122-130.  Abstract ( 1678 )   PDF (1KB) ( 2250 )   According to the connotation of the scientific outlook on development: "insisting on human-oriented, creating the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable outlook on development, and promoting the overall development of economy, society and human", this paper establishes an indicators system to evaluate science and technology (S&T) among Chinese provinces based on the R cluster and factor analysis. According to the evaluation principles which include the S&T output, the influence of S&T on economy and society and the S&T input, by using value change of each indicator to determine their weights, this paper constructs the S&T evaluation model based on the indicator value change, and then carries out an empirical study of 14 typical provinces of China in 2009. The contribution and special features of this paper lie in two aspects. Firstly, this paper determines the weight of indicators by comparing the result of clustering between the original indicator values and the changed ones. It reflects the idea that the greater the indicators' impact on the evaluation results is, the bigger their weights should be. This changes the situation that existing researches neglect indicators change's impact on evaluation result when determining their weights. Secondly, the five main influential indicators of S&T development are comprehensive energy consumption per ten-thousand-yuan GDP, the contribution rate of S&T progress, the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste, export of high-tech products and the gross yield proportion of high-tech industries and total industries. These five indicators play an important role on the S&T development and the sum of their weight is up to 0.6150. References | Related Articles | Metrics
