管理创新实施对中小企业成长的“双刃剑”作用

The "double-edged sword" role of management innovation implementation on the growth of SMEs

转型经济背景下中小企业的创新成长问题是近年来企业研究领域的热点。通过构建中小企业管理创新实施影响成长绩效的理论模型,以287家中小企业的调查数据为样本,分析了战略柔性在二者之间的中介作用以及调节作用,并对研究假设及影响路径进行了实证检验。结果表明：（1）管理创新实施对成长绩效具有显著的倒U型影响,协调柔性在其中起着完全中介作用;（2）管理创新实施与协调柔性具有显著的倒U型曲线关系;（3）资源柔性正向调节管理创新实施对协调柔性的影响,负向调节协调柔性对成长绩效的影响。研究结论揭示了管理创新实施对成长绩效的＂双刃剑＂作用以及战略柔性在两者关系间扮演的角色,为中小企业实施管理创新提供了有益启示。

Under the background of transition economy,the small and medium-sized enterprises＇ innovation growth problem is the research hotspot in the field of enterprise research area. By building a theoretical model of how SMEs influence the growth performance for implementing management innovation,using a sample of 287 SMEs,this article analyzed and tested the mediating and regulatory effects that strategic flexibility plays between the former two variables. The results show that：（ 1） the management innovation has a significant inverted U-shaped effect on the growth performance,besides the coordination flexibility plays a complete mediating role in it;（ 2） the management innovation and the coordination flexibility have a significant inverted U-curve relationship;（ 3） the resource flexibility positively regulates the impact of management innovation on the coordination flexibility,negatively regulates the impact of the coordination flexibility on the growth performance. The conclusion of the research reveals that the management innovation implementation plays a ＂ double-edged sword＂ role in growth performance,and the role the strategic flexibility plays between the former two variables,which providing useful enlightenment for SMEs implementing management innovation.
