如何实现区域创新生态系统高水平双元创新?——基于战略三角的组态分析

How to Achieve the High-level Ambidexterity Innovation of Regional Innovation Ecosystems?A Configuration Analysis Based on Strategic Triangle

依据现有的系统创新分类,本文以2010—2019年中国31个省份区域创新生态系统的数据为样本,利用因子分析构建系统双元创新评价指标体系,基于战略三角理论构建“资源基础—共生网络—制度环境”前因条件组态,利用模糊集定性比较分析探究上述组态与区域创新生态系统高开发、高探索及高水平双元创新的复杂因果关系。研究发现:(1)共生网络作为核心条件包含于区域创新生态系统高开发性创新、高探索性创新及高水平双元创新全部组态。(2)数字化能力与共生网络形成显性基础设施与隐性网络关系的协同效应,促进区域创新生态系统高水平双元创新。(3)资源获取能力作为区域创新生态系统实现高水平双元创新的“边缘条件”,能提高创新主体搜索、获取、编排内外部创新资源的能力,缓解资源约束下自主创新不足等问题。(4)经济制度环境作为区域创新生态系统实现高水平双元创新的“边缘条件”,能为系统创新提供良好的运行框架与制度环境,并与其他前因条件形成良好组态效应。研究既完善了区域创新生态系统双元创新评价与判别体系,为后续研究提供量化基础;又拓宽了双元创新理论应用范畴,为系统治理者提供组态策略集与方法论。

Based on the existing classification model of system innovation,this paper takes the panel data of regional innovation ecosystems in 31 provinces of China from 2010 to 2019 as the sample and constructs an ambidexterity innovation evaluation and discrimination system using factor analysis.Then,based on the strategic triangle theory,it constructs the antecedent condition grouping of“resource base-symbiosis network-institutional environment”.The fsQCA is used to explore the complex causal relationship between the above-mentioned configuration and the high-level exploitative,exploratory,and ambidexterity innovation of the ecosystem.The study finds that:First,there are no necessary conditions for the high-level exploitative,exploratory,and ambidexterity innovation of the ecosystem,but the symbiosis network is included in each parsimonious solution.Second,four configurations can realize the high-level exploitative innovation of the ecosystem:digitization-resource acquisitionsymbiosis network,resource acquisition-symbiosis network-economic system,resource acquisitionsymbiosis network-intellectual property protection,and digitization-symbiosis network-economic system-non-intellectual property protection.Third,three configurations can realize the high-level exploratory innovation of the ecosystem:digitization-resource acquisition-symbiosis network,digitization-symbiosis network-economic system-non-intellectual property protection,and resource acquisition-symbiosis network-economic system-intellectual property protection.Fourth,only two configurations can realize the high-level ambidexterity innovation of the ecosystem:digitizationresource acquisition-symbiosis network,and digitization-symbiosis network-economic system-nonintellectual property protection.The main contributions are as follows:First,this paper improves the ambidexterity innovation evaluation and discrimination system of regional innovation ecosystems,which provides a quantitative basis for subsequent research.Second,based on the perspective of ambidexterity innovation,this paper takes regional innovation ecosystems as the research object,and uses panel data samples for qualitative comparative analysis,which broadens the application scope of the ambidexterity innovation theory.Third,this paper utilizes configuration analysis to explore the complex causal relationship between digital capabilities and other antecedent conditions,as well as their relationship with system innovation performance,which enriches the research content and paradigm of innovation ecosystems,and provides configuration strategies.
