研发开放度与企业创新绩效的关系研究:组织学习的中介作用

A Study of the Relationship between R&D Openness and Firms' Technological Innovation Performance:the Mediating Role of Organizational Learning

研发活动的开放水平与企业从外部环境中获取异质性知识的可能性密切相关。对知识进行系统的组织学习决定企业能否有效利用知识以获得创新产出。构建包含组织学习中介效应的企业研发活动开放度与创新绩效关系模型。考量基于湖南、广东和浙江等地312家企业数据的实证调查表明,企业提升研发活动开放程度和增强组织学习对创新绩效都产生了显著的积极作用,并且组织的探索式学习在研发开放度与企业创新绩效之间起中介作用。

The degree of RD openness directly determines the possibility of a firm to acquire heterogeneous knowledge from external environment.Systematic learning of heterogeneous knowledge determines whether a firm can apply the knowledge for innovation output.This paper puts forward a conceptual model which delineates the correlations among RD openness,organizational learning and innovation performance by integrating the potential mediating role of organizational learning.The empirical analysis of a sample of 312 firms in Hunan,Guangdong and Zhejiang indicates that both RD openness and organizational learning are positively correlated with firms＇ innovation performance and organizational exploration learning mediates the association between RD openness and innovation performance.
