环境的烙印:企业成立时的环境对创新战略的影响

Environment imprinting:The impact of the environment at founding time on the company’s innovation strategy

从组织印记的视角,研究了企业成立时外部经济衰退环境下的资源匮乏印记对企业未来创新战略选择的影响。采用成立于1995-2010年之间在中小板与创业板上市的公司为样本,构建GEE模型进行实证检验。结果表明:成立于经济衰退时期的企业形成了保守的投资习惯,在资源匮乏印记的持续作用下,在未来也倾向于选择保守的利用式创新。但是随着企业创新资源投入强度的增加,资源匮乏的印记与企业选择利用式创新战略的关系减弱。除此之外,有技术背景的CEO可以增强企业的创新意识以及对于技术研发的特殊风险偏好,这也会使资源匮乏的印记与企业未来选择利用式创新战略的关系减弱。

From the perspective of organizational imprint,this paper studies the impact of resource imprinting due to the external economic recession on the future innovation strategy choices of enterprises.Using the companies that are established between 1995 and 2010 and listed in the SME board and the GEM as a sample,a GEE model was constructed for empirical testing.The results show that enterprises established during the economic recession have formed habits of conservative investment.Under the continuous effect of resource scarcity,they also tend to choose conservative exploitative innovation in the future.However,with the increase in the intensity of investment in innovation resources,the relationship between the scarcity of resources and the choice of innovative strategies for enterprises has weakened.In addition,CEOs with technical backgrounds can enhance the companies’sense of innovation and special risk preference for technology research and development,which will also weaken the relationship between the lack of resources and the future choice of exploitative innovation.
