迭代创新视角下资源选择性配置对平台型企业成长的影响

The Influence of Alternative Resource Allocation on the Growth of Platform Enterprises from the Perspective of Iterative Innovation

融合资源配置与迭代创新前沿研究成果,构建“选择性配置-迭代创新-平台型企业成长”理论框架,利用分层线性回归方法验证研究命题,探究平台型企业成长之道。对来自京、津、鲁、豫等地区160家企业的实证研究表明:(1)资源的选择性配置对平台型企业成长具有积极作用;(2)选择性配置促进迭代创新的迅捷行动与持续改进,后者有利于企业成长;(3)作为迭代创新的基本维度,迅捷行动与持续改进在选择性配置与企业成长之间发挥中介作用。对于企业成长,资源配置比企业所掌握的资源量具有更为重要的作用。研究有助于完善互联网背景下平台型企业成长机理,探究迭代创新驱动机制,并区分维度考察迭代创新中介作用,丰富迭代创新量化研究,推动其理论发展,丰富资源配置的研究成果,促进研究视野从资源静态属性向企业对资源的动态调配拓展。

Based on the frontier research results of resource allocation and iterative innovation, this paper constructs the theoretical framework of “alternative allocation-iterative innovation-platform enterprise growth”, and uses the method of hierarchical linear regression to verify the research proposition to explore the way of platform enterprise growth. This paper draws the following conclusions through the empirical study of 160 enterprises from Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Henan and other regions.(1) Alternative resource allocation has a positive influence on Internet platform firms’ growth.(2) Alternative allocation can promote the swift action and continuous improvement of iterative innovation, which is conducive to the growth of enterprises.(3) As the basic dimension of iterative innovation, swift action and continuous improvement play an intermediary role between alternative allocation and enterprise growth. For the growth of enterprises, resource allocation plays a more important role than the amount of resources owned by enterprises. This research is helpful for us to improve the growth mechanism of platform enterprises under the internet background, explore the driving mechanism of iterative innovation, investigate the intermediary role of iterative innovation from different dimensions, enrich the quantitative research of iterative innovation, promote its theoretical development, enrich the research results of resource allocation, and promote the expansion of research vision from static attributes of resources to the dynamic allocation of resources.
