创新架构模块化对科创企业双元创新协同性的影响研究

The Impact of Innovation Architecture Modularization on the Dual Innovation Synergy of Sci-tech Innovation Enterprises

由于探索式创新与利用式创新是两种不可或缺但又截然不同的创新活动,科创企业时常面临难以兼顾两类创新活动的困境,而如何设计创新架构以实现双元创新协同性成为当前组织管理研究的重要议题。本文以340家科创企业为调研对象,基于知识管理视角探讨创新架构模块化对双元创新协同性的影响及其作用机理。研究结果表明:创新架构模块化能够有效提升科创企业双元创新协同性;创新架构模块化分别通过促进内外部学习平衡、增强知识场活性而提升科创企业双元创新协同性;进一步地,创新架构模块化能够通过促进内外部学习平衡而增强知识场活性,进而提升科创企业双元创新协同性。本文研究结论不仅从知识管理视角对创新架构研究予以有效补充,也对实践中科创企业通过创新架构的模块化设计以提升双元创新绩效提供了借鉴。

Although existing research has recognized that the modular design of innovation architecture has a significant impact on dual innovation synergy,scholars still have divergent views on its positive or negative impact,and the explanation of the mechanism is not sufficient.Therefore,from the perspective of knowledge management theory,this paper introduces internal and external learning balance and knowledge field activity as mediating variables,constructs a chain mediating model of“innovation architecture modularization–internal and external learning balance–knowledge field activity–dual innovation synergy”,and conducts empirical testing to reveal the impact effect and mechanism of innovation architecture modularization on dual innovation synergy.Taking 340 sci-tech innovation enterprises(STIEs)as research objects,this paper finds that:First,innovation architecture modularization can effectively improve the dual innovation synergy of STIEs,and the conclusion is still valid after a series of robustness tests.Second,innovation architecture modularization enhances the dual innovation synergy of STIEs by promoting internal and external learning balance and enhancing knowledge field activity.Third,innovation architecture modularization enhances knowledge field activity by promoting a balance between internal and external learning,thereby enhancing the dual innovation synergy of STIEs.Based on the above findings,the following insights are drawn:First,innovation architecture modularization provides an effective path for STIEs to achieve dual innovation synergy.Second,on the basis of modular innovation architecture,STIEs need to pay equal attention and importance to internal and external learning,and promote each subunit to choose corresponding learning strategies based on their own needs.Third,STIEs should strengthen knowledge exchange within their innovation architecture,ensuring the effectiveness of knowledge exchange within and between subunits,and providing the necessary knowledge foundation for dual innovation synergy.The main contributions of this paper are as follows:First,it brings innovation architecture into the research framework of enterprise dual innovation,and discusses the impact of innovation architecture modularization on the dual innovation synergy of STIEs,extending the theoretical boundary of innovation management research and promoting the development of innovation architecture research in the direction of in-depth context.Second,it explains the mechanism by which innovation architecture modularization affects dual innovation synergy from the perspective of knowledge management theory,deepening the theoretical understanding of innovation architecture modularization.Third,it establishes a logical bridge between innovation architecture modularization and dual innovation synergy through the balance of internal and external learning and knowledge field activity,which helps to open up the“black box”of the mechanism that innovation architecture affects dual innovation.
