制造企业如何从事件中提升创新质量——基于事件系统理论的企业成长案例研究

How can Manufacturing Enterprises Improve the Quality of Innovation in Events——A Case Study of Enterprise Growth Based on Event System Theory

基于事件系统理论,应用探索性案例研究方法,以两家本土知名制造企业为纵向研究案例,揭示创新氛围、创新能力、创新开放度在创新质量提升中的作用,可为其它制造企业提供指导。研究发现:事件空间、事件强度影响制造企业创新能力,企业在被动性事件中通过利用性创新能力识别创新机会,在主动性事件中通过探索性创新能力获取创新机会和资源;创新氛围有助于促进利用性创新能力向探索性创新能力转变,创新开放度有助于提升主动性事件对创新质量的促进效果;在制造企业成长历程中,被动性事件和主动性事件的交互作用形成创新质量提升的正反馈,被动事件变少、主动事件变多,创新质量得以提升。研究结论对中国本土制造企业如何在复杂动态的事件环境中进行创新管理、促进创新质量提升具有一定实践启示。

Based on event system theory and exploratory case study method,two local well-known manufacturing enterprises are taken as longitudinal case studies to reveal the role of innovation climate,innovation capability and innovation openness in the process of improving innovation quality,so as to provide guidance for other manufacturing enterprises.The research finds that:the space and intensity of events affect the innovation ability of manufacturing enterprises,enterprises identify innovation opportunities through exploitative innovation ability in passive events,and acquire innovation opportunities and resources through exploratory innovation ability in active events;innovation climate can change exploitative innovation ability to exploratory innovation ability,and innovation openness can help to enhance the initiative event pair.In the growth process of manufacturing enterprises,the interaction of passive and active events forms positive feedback for the improvement of innovation quality,with fewer passive events and more active events,and the improvement of innovation quality.The conclusion of the study has some enlightenment on how to carry out innovation management and improve the quality of innovation in the complex and changeable event environment for Chinese local manufacturing enterprises.
