知识嵌入性、知识流动与战略联盟结构升级的关系研究

Research on the Relationship among Knowledge Embeddedness,Knowledge Flow and Structural Upgrading in Strategic Alliance

知识嵌入性是知识经济时代战略联盟共享有限资源,推动产业结构升级的重要途径。为打开知识嵌入性与战略联盟结构升级关系的黑箱,以知识管理、战略创新及复杂网络等相关理论为基础,对知识嵌入性的构成维度予以划分。进一步地,设定知识嵌入性的构成维度为联盟结构升级的前置变量,引入知识流动作为中介变量,构建知识嵌入性、知识流动与战略联盟结构升级的概念模型。采用结构方程的研究方法,以长三角地区的战略联盟为研究对象,基于295份有效问卷进行实证检验。研究结果表明:基于知识嵌入的构成维度,知识互补性、知识兼容性、知识紧密度与知识协调度对战略联盟结构升级呈显著的正相关关系,知识流动分别在知识互补性、知识兼容性、知识紧密度、知识协调度与联盟结构升级的关系中起部分中介作用。研究明晰了知识嵌入性、知识流动与联盟结构升级的关系,解释了知识嵌入性对联盟结构升级的作用机理,为战略联盟的管理实践提供有益借鉴。

Knowledge embeddedness is an important path in the era of knowledge economy for strategic alliances to share limited resource and promote the industrial structural updating.In order to open the black box of the relation between knowledge embeddedness and alliance structural upgrading of strategic alliance,based on relevant theories such as knowledge management,strategic innovation and complex networks,this paper distinguishes dimensions of knowledge embeddedness,and sets dimensions in knowledge embeddedness as the prior variables of structural upgrading of strategic alliance,takes knowledge flow as the mediated variable,and establishes a conceptual model of knowledge embeddedness,knowledge flow and structural upgrading of knowledge alliance.Using Structural Equation Model,this paper investigates into strategic alliance in Yangtze Delta region,then uses 295 questionnaires to complete the empirical test.Results of the research show that,based on the constructing facets of knowledge embeddedness,knowledge complementarity,knowledge compatibility,knowledge closeness and knowledge coordination have significantly positive impact on structural upgrading of strategic alliance;knowledge flow has a partly mediating effect in the relationship among structural upgrading of strategic alliance and knowledge complementarity,knowledge compatibility,knowledge closeness and knowledge coordination.This study explains the relationship among knowledge embeddedness,knowledge flow and structural upgrading of strategic alliance,interpreting the influencing mechanisms of knowledge embeddedness on structural upgrading of strategic alliance,thus providing beneficial references to managerial practices of strategic alliance.
