新技术企业的技术专利与外部资源整合

The impact of new technological ventures' patents on acquisition of outside resources

考察了新技术企业如何利用技术专利来影响外部资源持有者的投资决策,并探索了新技术企业质量的不确定性对该决策过程的调节效应。研究发现:新技术企业拥有的发明专利数量越多,越容易整合到外部资源;但是,随着资源持有者对新技术企业内在质量的感知不确定性的降低,发明专利对新企业资源整合效果的影响不再显著。

This study examines how entrepreneurs use patent as a quality signal to increase external resources holders estimate of new ventures intrinsic quality,and explores how uncertainty about the quality of new ventures moderates the relationship.Empirical results show that the more patents a new venture own,the better the performance of the young company,and the greater uncertainty about the quality of the new venture,the larger the impact of the invention patent on its performance.
