竞争性战略联盟中合作R&D效率的DEA分析

DEA analysis on the cooperative R&D efficiency of competitive strategic alliance

合作R&D是竞争对手间组建战略联盟的重要动机之一,因此对研发活动的效率进行测量与评价是分析此类联盟的重要内容,而评价方法的设计与选择也是研究的重点和难点。本文尝试将数据包络分析(DEA)方法引入到竞争性战略联盟的效率评价领域,应用多时段生产效率变化指数模型,分析了医药产业中竞争性联盟对R&D效率的影响,并评价了当前竞争性联盟中研发活动的效率水平。研究表明,与竞争对手合作开展R&D能够在较大程度上提高组织的总体研发效率,促进产业技术水平升级。本文研究结果对企业如何提升技术创新能力具有启发意义。

Cooperative R＆D is one of the important motivation by which strategic alliances are formed between competitors. As a resuh, it is a meaningful task to measure and evaluate these R＆D activities in such alliances. Furthermore, the designing and choosing evaluation methods is the focal point and difficult point of research. The efficiency evaluation of competitive strategic alliances is explored using Data Envelope Analysis （DEA） method, and the affection of such alliances on R＆D efficiency in the medicine industry is compared using the Malmquist DEA modal. At last, the R＆D efficiency level in the present competitive strategic alliances is estimated. Results show that the total research efficiency and industrial technological level can be improved to a. large extent through cooperation R＆D with competitors. It has an instructive meaning to firms on how they can improve their technology innovation ability.
