如何成为关键研发者?——基于企业技术知识基础多元度的实证分析

How to be a key inventor? An analysis based on the variety of enterprises’ knowledge base

关键研发者是组织内核心技术的创造者,从知识角度研究影响企业成为关键研发者的因素具有重要研究意义。基于我国80家电子信息行业企业自2009年至2015年申请的发明专利数据,利用Logistic回归模型研究了企业技术知识基础相关与非相关多元度、知识整合能力对其成为关键研发者的影响。研究发现,企业技术知识基础相关多元度对其成为关键研发者具有正向作用;技术知识基础非相关多元度存在倒U型的影响。同时,知识整合能力在企业技术知识基础多元度与其成为关键研发者的影响中起到中介作用。

The key inventor is the creator of the core technology in the organization. It is important to study the factors that influence a firm to be a key inventor from the perspective of knowledge. Based on patent data of 80 Chinese electrical & electronic enterprises during 2009 to 2015, logistic regression analysis reveals how the related variety, unrelated variety and knowledge integration capability affect the firm to be a key inventor. The results show that the related variety of knowledge base is positive with being a key inventor;while the unrelated variety of knowledge base has an inverse U –shape effect on being key inventor. In addition, the research also finds that knowledge integration capability mediates the relationship between being key inventor and both of related variety and unrelated variety of knowledge base.
