中心性、技术影响力与企业持续性创新——环境责任和企业韧性的调节作用

Centrality,Technical Influence and Firms’Sustainable Innovation——The Moderating Role of Environmental Responsibility and Corporate Resilience

开放式创新背景下,企业参与联盟如何影响企业持续性创新成为当前亟待解决的问题。本文基于2-模联盟创新网络视角,运用2009—2018年我国高新技术企业联盟合作数据和全面可行广义最小二乘法探讨了中心性影响企业持续性创新的内在机制与边界条件。研究发现:中心性与企业持续性创新和技术影响力均呈倒U型关系;技术影响力在中心性与企业持续性创新的倒U型关系中具有中介作用;环境责任和企业韧性均正向调节中心性与技术影响力和企业持续性创新的倒U型关系;但上述关系在不同企业生命周期阶段和企业是否通过ISO9001认证的样本中并不相同。研究结论能为高新技术企业参与联盟决策,提升技术影响力,进而实现企业持续性创新提供理论指导,具有深刻的理论和实践意义。

In the open innovation context,how firms participating in alliances affect firms’sustainable innovation has become an urgent issue to be addressed.Based on the 2-mode alliance innovation network perspective,this paper uses the cooperation data of China’s high-tech firms alliances from 2009 to 2018 and the comprehensive feasible generalized least squares method to explore the internal mechanism of how centrality influences firms’sustainable innovation and the relevant boundary conditions.The study reaches the following conclusions.Centrality has an inverted U-shaped relationship with firms’sustainable innovation and technological influence;Technical influence plays a mediating role in the inverted U-shaped relationship between centrality and firms’sustainable innovation;Both environmental responsibility and corporate resilience play a positive moderating role in the inverted U-shaped relationship between centrality and technical influence,between centrality and firms’sustainable innovation;However,the above relationship is not the same in the samples of different firm life cycle stages and firms that has or has not passed ISO9001 certification.The research conclusions can provide theoretical guidance for high-tech firms to participate in alliance decision-making,enhance technological influence,and then realize firms’sustainable innovation.
