分布式创新理论研究述评

A Literature Review of Distributed Innovation Theory

分布式创新是由一家主导性企业选定创新任务,通过与分布在全球的其他组织建立联系并进行知识共享与整合,以实现创新目标的创新形式。越来越多的理论和实践表明:实施分布式创新有助于企业获取跨地理、跨组织边界的资源,从而能够在日益激烈的商业环境中获取竞争优势。本文首先基于技术创新视角、资源基础观视角、创新网络视角和知识管理视角对该领域相关研究进行梳理。然后,对不同视角下的研究进行分析比较,在总结差异的基础上探寻各视角间的联系。最后,结合现有研究的不足,提出分布式创新未来研究的发展趋势。

Distributed innovation refers to an innovation form, namely a dominant firm selects an innovation task and does knowledge sharing and integration through the connection with otherorganizations distributed all over the world to realize the new innovation target. A growing number of theory and practice show that the implementation of distributed innovation can help enterprises to obtain the resources across geographical and organizational boundaries, so as to build competitive advantages in the increasingly competitive business environment. Firstly, it sorts out the related research from technology innovation, resource-based view, innovation network, and knowledge management perspectives. Secondly, it compares the research from different perspectives, summarizes the differences and explores the relationship among different perspectives. Finally, according to the shortcomings of the existing research, it puts forward a development trend for future research on distributed innovation.
