技术间断与企业持续技术创新

Technological Discontinuities and Enterprise's Sustaining Technological Innovation

技术的演进和发展呈现连续与间断相交替的特征。技术间断的成因包括技术原理、核心器件、技术架构、工艺水平和技术集成等方面的重要变革,同时受互补品技术发展、需求变革和制度规制的影响。技术间断对在位企业具有"创造性破坏"效应,企业要跨越技术间断,可以采取以下应对策略:一是树立异质化思维,初创引领或快速追随技术环境变化;二是技术性能维度拓展与利基市场创新并重,紧跟顾客偏好和目标市场转移;三是设立独立性组织机构,打破既有障碍,孵化和培育间断性创新。

The evolution and development of technology presents the alternate characteristics of continuity and discontinuity. The causes of technical discontinuities include important revolution of technical principles, core components, technological architectures, process- ing technologies, and technological integration, etc. , and are influenced by the development of complementary technologies, demand change and institution regulation. The technological discontinuities have ＂creative destruction＂ effects on enterprise, and to surmount the interruption of technological discontinuities, enterprises can apply the strategies as follows ： one is to establish the heterogeneity of thinking, originally leading the new technology trend or rapidly following the environmental changes; the second is to pay high attention on both the technical performance dimension extension and niche market innovation to follow tightly with the shift of customer＇s prefer- ences and target markets; the third is to establish independent organizational institution to break the existing barriers, incubating and fostering discontinuous innovation.
