协作研发与在位企业突破性技术创新及代际知识桥的中介作用——以汽车行业为例

Collaborative R&D,Incumbent Firms’Radical Technological Innovation and The Mediating Role of Intergenerational Knowledge Bridges:An Example of Automotive Industry

鉴于代际知识桥对企业突破性技术创新的作用可能不同,以65家汽车行业整车在位企业为样本,对其2009~2019年的面板数据进行负二项回归分析后发现:协作研发能够直接提升在位企业的突破性技术创新绩效,且显性代际知识桥与隐性代际知识桥在其间均可发挥积极中介作用;旧技术创新绩效对协作研发与突破性技术创新绩效的关系会产生积极作用,对显性代际知识桥与突破性技术创新绩效的关系会产生消极作用,但均不显著;旧技术创新绩效对隐性代际知识桥与突破性技术创新绩效的关系会产生显著消极作用。

Incumbent firms’collaborative R&D can reduce the R&D’s risk and duration,also,can help incumbent firms form intergenerational knowledge bridges to avoid technological rigidity.However,for incumbent firms in different industries with different difficulties in development of new technologies and different lengths of technology intergenerational cycle,the pros and cons of intergenerational knowledge bridges on firms’radical technological innovation may be different.Based on a panel data of 65 incumbent firms in the automobile industry from 2009 to 2019,the negative binomial regression analysis shows that collaborative R&D can directly improve the incumbent firms’radical technological innovation performance,and both explicit and implicit intergenerational knowledge bridges can play a positive mediating role in the process.In addition,old technological innovation performance has a positive effect on the relationship between collaborative R&D and radical technological innovation performance,and a negative effect on the relationship between explicit intergenerational knowledge bridge and radical technological innovation performance,but both of them are not significant.The old technological innovation performance also has a significant negative effect on the relationship between the implicit intergenerational knowledge bridge and the radical technological innovation performance.
