企业信息技术应用对开放式创新的影响:交易成本视角

Study on the Effect of Enterprise Information Technology Usage and Open Innovation:the Perspective of Transaction Cost

既有文献已初步检验了企业信息技术应用与开放式创新的关系,但未深入探索其影响机制。鉴于此,从交易成本视角解释二者间的影响机制。结果表明,信息技术应用是推动企业开放式创新的重要因素。进一步扩展分析发现:信息技术应用对企业纵向创新合作的推动作用强于社会创新合作;相对于低技术行业,企业信息技术应用的开放式创新效应在高技术行业更为显著;地区信任度提高增强了企业信息技术应用对开放式创新的推动作用。造成企业信息技术应用对开放式创新产生上述效应差异的一个重要原因在于,开放式创新产生的交易成本在创新合作类型间、行业间、地区间存在明显的异质性,从而检验了企业信息技术应用对开放式创新的影响机制。

The previous literature preliminarily tested the relationship between information technology usage and open innovation,but they did not explore the influence mechanism of information technology usage on open innovation.Therefore,the paper studied the effect of information technology usage on enterprise open innovation and explained the influence mechanism between them from the perspective of transaction cost.The study shows that information technology is an important factor that promotes enterprise open innovation.In addition,the extension analyses show the fowling conclusions.Firstly,the promotion effect of information technology usage to vertical innovation cooperation is stronger than social innovation cooperation.Secondly,the promotion effect of information technology usage on open innovation in high-tech industry is higher than in low-tech industry.Finally,the promotion of regional trust degree is helpful to enhance the promotion effect of information technology usage on open innovation.The existence of difference of transaction cost in open innovation between innovation cooperation types,industries and regions is an important factor that leads to the promotion effect of information technology usage on open innovation is different between innovation cooperation types,industries and regions,which supports the influence mechanism put forward by theoretical analysis.
