组织文化、外部知识管理能力与网络嵌入性收益

Developmental Organizational Culture,External Knowledge Management Capacity and Benefits from Network Embeddedness

联盟创新网络在企业发展中的作用日益突出,同时企业利用网络关系获取收益的能力也存在很大的差异性。以企业网络理论为基础,讨论联盟企业网络嵌入性收益的影响因素,提出包含发展型组织文化、外部知识保存能力、知识吸收能力、结构嵌入性收益和关系嵌入性收益5项要素的理论模型。在此模型基础上,以220家企业为样本进行实证研究。研究结果表明,外部知识保存能力和知识吸收能力对网络嵌入性收益有显著正向影响,发展型组织文化对网络嵌入性收益无直接作用,外部知识保存能力和知识吸收能力在发展型文化对网络嵌入性收益的影响过程中起中介作用。综合理论研究成果,从提升企业网络嵌入性收益的角度,对企业组织文化建设、联盟网络知识管理发展方向进行探讨。

The Alliance innovation networks play an increasing role in firms′ development,while the benefits gained from network relationships present great differences.Based on the network theory,the factors affecting benefits from network embeddedness are discussed,and a theory model consisting of developmental culture,external knowledge retention competence,absorptive competence,benefits from constructive embeddedness and benefits from social embeddedness is established.We carried out an empirical study with 220 firms as samples,and the results show that external knowledge retention competence and knowledge absorptive competence significantly and positively affect firms′ network competence;developmental culture has no direct effects on benefits from network embeddedness,while external knowledge retention competence and absorptive competence mediate the relationship between developmental culture and benefits from network embeddedness.For increasing the benefits from network embeddedness,the paper gives suggestions toward developmental directions of organizational culture and knowledge management in alliance networks.
