A research on the relationship between managerial cognition and innovation capabilities of firms Zhang Jun, Xu Qingrui 2018, 39(4): 1-9.  Abstract ( 837 )   Firms’ innovation capabilities are the micro-foundation to support the strategy of “transformation driven by innovation” to realize. As a result, it is of great importance to leverage a firm’s innovation capabilities. Many scholars have contributed to explain how a firm’s innovation capabilities to be constructed. But the extant literature still cannot explain what factors drive a firm’s endogenous development of innovation capabilities per se.. Integrating the theory of dynamic capability and managerial cognition, the present paper explores the relationship between CEOs’ managerial cognition and firms’ innovation capabilities from the perspective of managerial cognition by using data collected from 419 domestic firms. Findings got: (1) CEOs’ managerial cognitions are key drivers to construct firms’ innovation capabilities; (2) The interaction between a CEO’s resource cognition and environment cognition affects a firm’s innovation capabilities’ construction complicatedly; (3) The effects of a CEO’ managerial cognition promotes a firm’s innovation capabilities’ development shows the characteristic of “inside-out” as resource cognition driven rather than that of “outside-in” as environment munificence driven. Finally, the theoretical contribution, managerial implication and limitation have been discussed. Related Articles | Metrics

It makes no sense to gild the lily-clique-degrees, number of external enterprises and innovation performance of communities in alliance network Zhao Yan，Xu Yuelei 2018, 39(4): 32-42.  Abstract ( 377 )   Communities in the network have closer ties than general alliances, which contribute to share of knowledge and collaborative research and development. Current studies are less concerned with clique communities and their impact on communities’ innovation. Based on the data of 9 high-tech industries in China, the clique-degrees are calculated in this paper. The more complex the cliques are, the larger the clique-degrees are. The clique percolation algorithm and the negative binomial regression model are applied to study the effect of the basic 3-cliques communities on the innovation capability. The result shows that there is an inverted U-type between clique-degrees and the innovative ability of communities, while the external enterprise number will inhibit the process. The study can be used as a reference for the choice of cliques’ communities in the enterprise alliance. Related Articles | Metrics

Local government R&D worship and enterprise patent bubbles Shen Yu， Huang Hao， Zhao Ling 2018, 39(4): 83-91.  Abstract ( 525 )    From the angle of government resources allocation, this paper examines the relationship between local government “R&D worship” and enterprise patent bubbles. The results show that emphasizing patent quantity and neglecting patent quality obviously exists in local governments’ support for innovative enterprises. The more patents, the higher the government subsidies and the more tax incentives, but there is no obvious relationship between patent quality and government resources allocation; however, this situation has been alleviated with the improvement of marketization. Further studies show that patent quality is more helpful than patent quantity to improve enterprise performance and patent quality also gains more excess return than patent quantity. The research of this paper is helpful to rational distribution of innovative resources, and it also provides a reference for the government to develop innovative incentive policies. Related Articles | Metrics
