创新能力研究理论背景演化、分类及关系研究

Evolution,Classification,and Relationships of the Theories of Innovation Capabilities

本文以厘清当前国内外情境下创新能力研究的理论背景演化、分类及关系为目标,从而为中国学者分清创新能力理论思想的根源,更好地将中国创新能力管理实践和思想融入这一理论体系中做出贡献。本文使用了引文出版年谱法,借鉴了系统性综述的思想,对1990~2020年30年来创新能力相关研究的引文进行了分析。最终将创新能力研究的理论背景划分为资源基础观、知识基础观、社会网络观、动态能力观、吸收能力观、二元创新观、市场导向观、国家创新系统观和开放式创新观九种类型,并对理论演化的不同时期和理论思想间的关系进行了梳理。结果表明创新能力具有明确的理论概念内涵,元素可以识别调整的具体概念,最终得出了对中国创新能力管理理论研究的一些启示。

This study aims to examine the evolution and the relationships of different theoretical streams in innovation capability research and explore the opportunities of how the Chinese management practices and thoughts can contribute to this line of research.We used the methods of reference publication year spectroscopy and qualitative data to analyze the citations of research on innovation capabilities in international peer-reviewed journals in the past 30 years(from 1990 to 2020).We also used the LDA(Latent Dirichlet Allocation)model to verify our findings.We found that there were nine theoretical streams in innovation capability research including the resource-based view,the knowledge-based view,the social network view,the dynamic capability view,the absorptive capacity view,the ambidexterity view,the market orientation view,the national innovation system view,and the open innovation view,respectively.We also examined the relationships among different time periods of theoretical evolution and various theoretical lens.Theoretical implications for Chinese management research are further discussed.
