高管团队特征与企业自主创新:联盟网络特征的中介作用研究

Characteristics of Top Management Team and Enterprise Independent Innovation: The Mediating Role of Alliance Network Characteristics

基于社会资本理论和资源基础观,探讨高管团队背景特征(职能背景、特殊工作经历)对企业自主创新的作用机制,并从高管团队行为视角明晰了联盟网络的数量特征、伙伴特征在其中的中介作用。运用新兴战略行业沪深两市主板上市企业的专利数据,实证检验所提出的理论框架。结果发现,高管团队职能背景对企业自主创新具有显著的正相关关系,且不同的职能背景("产出型""生产型"和"支持型")对企业创新的正向影响程度具有差异性;而企业的联盟网络数量特征、伙伴特征与企业的自主创新存在倒U型关系,且两者在高管团队(职能背景和特殊工作经历)与企业自主创新之间发挥着部分中介作用。

Based on social capital theory and resource-based view,this study explores the mechanism of the background characteristics of top management team on the independent innovation of enterprises with consideration of the functional background and special working experience.From the angel of top management teams,we clarify the mediating role of the quantitative characteristics and partner characteristics of alliance network in the enterprises.Using the patent data of the listed companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges of China's emerging strategic industries,we empirically test the proposed theoretical framework.It is found that the functional background of top management team has a significant positive correlation with the independent innovation of the enterprises,and the main three functional backgrounds,namely output functions,throughput functions and supporting functions,have different positive influences on the independent innovation.While,there are inverted u-shaped relationships between two characteristics of alliance network above and the independent innovation of enterprises respectively.In addition,these two characteristics play a mediating role in the relation of top management team with enterprise independent innovation.
