产学合作关系对企业创新绩效的影响研究——基于案例研究的概念模型与解释

University Industry Cooperation and its Impacts on the Innovation Performance of Firms in China——Based on the Case Study of the Concept Model and Explain

基于对关系嵌入性已有文献和企业知识观理论的研究评述,提出了产学合作的关系嵌入性→外部知识获取→企业创新绩效的理论预设。并以理论预设中的3个研究构面为讨论原点,结合4个企业和大学合作项目的探索性案例分析,构建了纳入细致考察变量的概念模型,提出并解释了一系列基于经验研究的理论命题,从而进一步揭示了理论预设中3个研究构面的关系链机理。研究发现,产学合作的关系嵌入性(信任、信息共享、控制)通过企业获取外部知识的两种主要机制(显性知识转移、共同解决问题)间接影响企业创新绩效,并进一步解释了其中的关联路径与影响方式。

This paper relying on insights from the resource and knowledge based theories of the firm and the literature on relational embeddedness, we present a theoretical assumption of ＂the relational embeddedness of UI eooperation→firms＇ external knowledge acquisition→the innovation performance of rms . Then, we combine the results of prior studies on fi ＂ the above three aspects and the evidence from four theory building ease studies of Chinese UI cooperative research projects to formulate and verify a series of empirically testable research propositions, which therefore deepen and refine our knowledge of the above theoretical assumption. Our analysis suggests that the relational embeddedness of UI cooperation indirectly influences the innovation performance of firms through two major approachs of firms＇ external knowledge acquisition （the explicit knowledge transfer and the joint problem solving arrangement）.
