家族成员参与管理、制度环境与技术创新

Family involvement in management,institutional environment and technical innovation

利用第八次全国私营企业抽样调查数据,考察了家族成员参与管理对我国企业技术创新活动的影响,以及这一影响如何因企业所处地区制度环境的不同而发生改变。采用研发投入作为技术创新投入度量指标、知识产权数量作为技术创新产出度量指标,综合利用相关系数分析和多元回归分析发现:高管团队中的家族成员人数对企业创新投入和创新产出均存在显著正向影响;但随着所处地区制度环境的完善,这一正向影响有所减弱。上述研究结果表明,在我国当前转型经济背景下,家族成员参与管理仍然是促进家族企业技术创新的一种有效机制,特别是在制度环境更为落后的地区。

Using the data from the Eighth National Private Firm Sampling Survey,this paper examines the impact of family involvement in management on Chinese private firms＇ innovation activities,and further analyzes how this impact depends on local institutional environment. Employing both Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis,the results of an empirical study show that：（1） the number of family member on top management team has a significant positive effect on both firm＇s innovation input and output;（ 2） the above effect is weaker in regions with better institutional environment,suggesting that in the transitional economy like China,family management is still an effective governance mechanism for firm＇s innovation activities,especially for firms in regions with worse institutional environment.
