数字时代创业加速器如何赋能新创企业成长?——基于海创汇的探索性案例研究

How Do Start-up Accelerators Empower the Growth of New Ventures in the Digital Age?An Exploratory Case Study Based on Haichuanghui Venture Service

鉴于当下赋能研究难以诠释数字时代的组织间关联,文章以海创汇为研究对象,探究数字时代创业加速器赋能新创企业成长的情境、行为与结果。研究发现:基于企业成长时期演变,创业加速器的赋能情境分为新创企业“定位模糊”“规模约束”和“路径依赖”三种类型;创业加速器历经“预加速—加速中—加速后”三个阶段,且各加速阶段的赋能维度机理存在明显差异;在新创企业接受赋能实现成长的背后,以创业加速器为主导的赋能互动关系从单向联动逐渐转为双向强联动的稳固关系。研究有助于拓展赋能理论的研究维度与理论内涵,也为数字时代创业加速器及新创企业的高质量发展提供实践启发。

Given the current difficulty in interpreting the inter-organizational relationships in the digital age through empowerment research,this paper takes Haichuanghui Venture Service as the research object to explore the context,behaviors,and outcomes of how start-up accelerators empower new ventures in the digital age.Research findings:Based on the evolution of enterprise growth,the empowerment contexts of start-up accelerators can be categorized into three categories:"ambiguous positioning"of new ventures,"scale constraints",and"path dependence".The start-up accelerators progress through three phases:"pre-acceleration","acceleration",and"post-acceleration",with significant differences in the mechanisms of empowerment dimensions at each stage.Behind the growth achieved by new ventures through empowerment,the interactive relationship of empowerment led by the accelerators gradually shifts from a unidirectional linkage to a robust bidirectional strong linkage.This research contributes to expanding the dimensions and theoretical connotations of empowerment theory and provides practical insights for the high-quality development of startup accelerators and new ventures in the digital age.
