既有知识资产真的会阻碍企业破坏性创新吗?

Will existing knowledge assets really hinder the disruptive innovation in the enterprise?

既有知识资产是企业破坏性创新的重要影响因素,但是它们之间的作用机制并没有得到充分阐释。基于资产专用性视角,引入经验迁移能力和自我替代能力作为中介变量,探讨企业既有知识资产对破坏性创新的影响机制,并运用272份中国制造企业调查数据进行实证研究。结果发现,知识资产主业专用性对企业经验迁移能力和外向型破坏性创新都有显著的正向影响,而对企业自我替代能力和内向型破坏性创新都具有显著的负向影响;经验迁移能力正向影响企业的外向型破坏性创新,并在知识资产主业专用性与外向型破坏性创新之间发挥完全中介作用;自我替代能力正向影响企业的内向型破坏性创新,并在知识资产主业专用性与内向型破坏性创新之间发挥部分中介作用。

The existing knowledge assets are an important influencing factor of the disruptive innovation of enterprises,but the relationship between them is not fully explained. Based on the perspective of asset specificity,the impact of the enterprise knowledge assets on the disruptive innovation was explored in this paper. Using a sample of 272 Chinese manufacturing enterprises,some hypotheses are tested：（1） Knowledge assets＇ application-specificity for main business has a directly positive effect on ability of experience transfer and outbound disruptive innovation respectively,but it has a directly negative effect on ability to cannibalize and inbound disruptive innovation.（2） Ability of experience transfer not only positively affects the enterprise＇s outbound disruptive innovation,but also plays a complete intermediary role between knowledge assets ＇ application-specificity for main business and outbound disruptive innovation.（3） Ability to cannibalize not only positively affects the enterprise＇s inbound disruptive innovation,but also plays a part intermediary role between knowledge assets＇ application-specificity for main business and inbound disruptive innovation.
