惯例复制、网络闭包与创新催化:一个交互效应模型

Routines Replication, Network Closure and the Catalyst of Innovation: An Interaction Model

为了破解技术创新网络的创新催化机制,本文分析了常规惯例复制和柔性惯例复制的创新悖论、相似性闭包和传染性闭包的"双刃剑"效应,探究惯例复制与网络闭包交互组合对创新催化的差异性影响。结合我国电子信息行业的合作网络数据,运用多元回归分析进行了实证检验,研究结果表明,惯例复制的微观动态与网络闭包结构形态的交互匹配是实现创新催化的最小功能集;常规惯例复制/相似性闭包、柔性惯例复制/传染性闭包是创新催化的最优网络配置;相似性闭包强化了常规惯例复制对创新催化的促进作用,抑制了柔性惯例复制的效能发挥;传染性闭包未能削弱常规惯例复制对创新催化的促进作用,但强化了柔性惯例复制的作用机制;随着组织嵌入的相似性和传染性闭包程度增加,常规惯例复制和柔性惯例复制在促进创新催化的过程中由相互补充向相互替代转变。研究结论是对创新催化理论的扩展,对提升邻域组织的创新能力、构建创新生态系统具有重要意义。

Nowadays, Socialism with Chinese Characteristics has gradually entered into the stage of New Era, technological innova- tions are facing the transition and leap from innovation network to innovation ecosystems. During the process of transition, network organization is also becoming an ecology role supporting the inno- vation. However, previous researches focus on diverse knowledge clique and ignore the multiple and paradoxical dilemma. In order to uncover the catalyst of innovation mechanism in technology innovation network, this paper analyzes the innovation paradox of conventional routines replication and flexible routines replication, the double-edged sword effect of similarity closure and contagious network closure. Based on the perspective of paradox integration, this research constructs a framework to explore the interaction effects between routines replication and network closure on cat- alyst of innovation. Then an empirical test was made by multiple regressions model with electronic information industry＇s data in China. The results show that： The matching of routines replication and network closure are the key enabling conditions of innovation catalyst. Conventional routines replication with similarity network closure and flexible routines replication with contagious network closure are the best network configurations for the catalyst of in- novation. The similarity network closure enhances the promotion effect on conventional routines replication with catalyst of innova- tion, but has inhibitory effect on flexible routines replication. The contagious network closure can not inhibit on conventional routines replication, but it enhances the effect on flexible routines replica- tion with catalyst of innovation. The functions of network closure promote the interaction effects of conventional routines replication and flexible routines replication from complements to substitutes. This research extends the mechanism of innovation catalyst for different network configuration, which can improve the innovation ability of neighbor network organization to construct the innovation ecosystem, Furthermore, these findings can also push forward the innovation-driven development strategy of ＂Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation＂ in China.
