网络关系强度、企业学习能力对技术创新的影响研究

The impact of network ties strength and enterprises’learning capability on the technological innovation

网络关系强度作为表征企业网络的重要变量之一,理论界关于其对企业技术创新的影响尚存在较大的争议。本文以企业规模和研发投入作为控制变量,构建了网络关系强度、企业学习能力和技术创新三者之间的关系理论模型,并以申报广东省高新技术企业和民营科技型企业的企业为调查对象进行了实证检验。研究发现:(1)企业网络关系强度和学习能力都对技术创新存在着显著的正向影响。(2)企业学习能力在网络关系强度和技术创新之间起到不完全中介作用。(3)在小规模企业中,这三者之间并不存在相互影响的关系。本研究进一步深化了前人的研究结论,对组织网络及技术创新的相关研究都有学术贡献。

As one of the important characteristics of network structure, there is still a controversy involving the impact of network ties strength on enterprises＇ technological innovation in the academic circles. By takes enterprise size and R＆D investment as control variables, a theoretical model for the relationship among network ties strength, enterprises＇ learning capability, and tech- nological innovation is proposed. The high - tech and private - tech enterprises in Guangdong Province are taken as samples, and an empirical study on the theoretical model is conducted. The results show that （ 1 ） both network ties strength and enterprise learning capability have a significantly positive impact on technological innovation. （2） Learning capability plays a role of incom- plete intermediate variable between network ties strength and technological innovation. （3） These three variables do not have any significantly positive impact on each other in small - scale enterprises. The previous research is improved, and it also makes academic contributions to the related research on network and technological innovation.
