突破性技术创新研究:现状与展望——基于SSCI和CSSCI期刊的文献计量分析

Current Situation and Prospects of Breakthrough Technology Innovation: Bibliometric Analysis Based on SSCI and CSSCI Journals

突破性技术创新是中国落实创新驱动、绿色发展、提升关键核心技术创新能力等多个国家战略的重要路径。本文采用文献计量方法和知识图谱工具,以2001—2018年发表于SSCI和CSSCI期刊的765篇文献为研究样本,从多个视角系统揭示国内外突破性技术创新研究的现状,并对未来研究方向进行展望。主要研究结论是:近18年国内外突破性技术创新研究发文量总体呈逐年上升趋势,国内研究与国外相比起步较晚且持续热度较低、对外合作研究较少且国际影响力不足;突破性技术创新研究遵循的理论基础主要是社会网络理论、动态资源管理理论和组织学习理论;突破性技术创新研究的热点主要集中于技术、组织、资源和财务四个方面,与市场发展问题相关的研究是薄弱环节。进一步从创新主体、创新变轨、研究层次和研究主题四个方面归纳了突破性技术创新研究热点的演化规律和存在问题。突破性技术创新的市场风险、跨国合作战略、大数据赋能和绿色导向会成为未来突破性技术创新研究的主攻方向。

Breakthrough technology innovation is the strategic path for China to implement multiple national strategies.Considering existing literature reviews still have some shortcomings in research methods and contents,this paper is based on 765 literature on breakthrough technology innovation by the SSCI and CSSCI journals of Web of Science and CNKI in the past 18 years,and adopts bibliometrics and knowledge mapping software CiteSpace(5.3).In this study,the article conducts a systematic review of domestic and foreign research achievement from multiple perspectives,prospecting the future research direction and research problems to provide references for further research.The study results are as follows:First,the number of research papers on breakthrough technology innovation has increased gradually in 18 years.The quantity of domestic literature is obviously less than that of foreign literature.Chinese research not only started late but also lacks interest in developing this field,indicating that the top priority of Chinese management scholars should follow the transformation of national development strategy in the new era and greatly improve the research on breakthrough technology innovation.China's foreign cooperative research is also extremely rare,with only a network centrality of 0.05,indicating that China's global influence is minimal.Secondly,through the literary analysis of key nodes,the knowledge base is to integrate breakthrough innovation with“technology S-curve”,culture-centric theory,resource-based view,knowledge-based view,and link the key antecedents and outcome variables of breakthrough technology innovation.In combination with the latest literature,the knowledge base also includes social network theory,dynamic resource management theory and organizational learning theory.Thirdly,through high-frequency keyword analysis,this paper has revealed the influencing factors and mechanism of breakthrough technology innovation,finding that there are few market related studies.According to the consensus that there were five major risks of breakthrough technology innovation,namely:technology,market,organization,resources and finance.Thus,the market development of breakthrough technology innovation is still the main problem that needs to be resolved because the other four aspects have been relatively matured.Next,this paper also divided focused topics into the following three stages:“the research introduction stage,the research expansion stage,and the theoretical extension and application stage”,after detailed analysis and contrast three stages(2001—2006,2007—2010 and 2011—2018)of the research content,found that the dynamic evolution process and existing problems of the research can be revealed clearly by innovation subject,innovation trajectory-transferred,research level,and research theme.According to the needs of national strategy and theoretical development,combined with the existing research situation,the research will present the following trends:(1)Breakthrough technology innovation faces a higher degree of uncertainty and consumer utility disadvantage in the market start-up stage,leading to the market-trajectory transferred,so huge market risks of breakthrough technology innovation need to be addressed in the future.(2)Considering the specific institutional environment of different countries,in order to facilitate the diffusion of breakthrough technology innovation,future research should emphasize the transnational cooperative strategy of breakthrough technology innovation,especially the management challenges of transnational network alliances.(3)In the era of digital economy,big data enables the development of breakthrough technology innovation.The application of big data not only helps enterprises to improve performance,but also facilitates enterprises to find new market demands and breakthrough space in technology.But it leads to changes in resource allocation,so future research should focus on the problems of formation mechanism,management theory,and management method.(4)Green technology innovation aimed at non-environmental protection industry is usually a breakthrough technology innovation,so it is predicted that green-oriented breakthrough technology innovation will be the main direction of research in the future.To resolve the contradiction between market orientation and non-market orientation(even anti-market orientation)of green breakthrough technology innovation needs to break through the existing innovation management research paradigm,and it will produce fundamental and pioneering theoretical contributions.
