企业技术知识基础多元度对技术合作的影响——技术创新能力的中介作用

The Influence of Variety of Knowledge base on Technology Collaboration:The Mediating Effect of Innovation Capability

根据熵指数的可分解特性,将企业技术知识基础多元度划分为相关与非相关两类。通过对中国电子信息行业54家代表性企业从2000~2010年申请的发明专利数据的分析,发现企业技术知识基础相关多元度对其技术合作频次具有显著的促进作用,而非相关多元度与企业技术合作频次之间存在倒U型关系。此外,企业技术创新能力对技术知识基础多元度与合作频次之间的关系具有中介作用。

This study applies the entropy-based patent measure to investigate the influences of related variety and unrelated variety of knowledge on innovation capability and technology collaboration.The results based on 54 firms of Chinese electrical electronics firms during 2000-2010 show that,the related variety of knowledge base has a monotonically positive effect on technological collaboration and unrelated variety has an inverse U-shaped effect on technological cooperation.In addition,this study finds that innovation capability mediates the relationship between firms＇ technological collaboration and both of related variety and unrelated variety of knowledge base.
