创新生态系统驱动城市创新绩效路径识别

Path Identification of Innovation Ecosystem-driven Urban Innovation Performance

完善城市创新生态系统对提升城市创新能力具有重要意义。本文以中国59个创新型城市试点城市为研究对象,运用模糊集定性比较分析方法分析创新生态系统与城市创新绩效之间的多重并发非对称因果关系。研究将创新生态系统划分为创新主体、创新资源和创新环境3个子系统,探究3个子系统之间如何互动产生高城市创新绩效。研究发现:高城市创新绩效没有必要条件,而技术创新主体缺失是产生非高创新绩效的必要条件;3种创新生态系统可以产生高城市创新绩效,包括环境驱动型、资源-环境协调发展型和技术主体-市场环境双驱动型;驱动东部地区和中西部地区产生城市高创新绩效的路径并不一致。研究有助于加深对城市创新生态系统的理解,对发现城市高创新绩效的创新生态系统实现路径具有重要的理论意义。

Enhancing the urban innovation ecosystems plays a crucial role in boosting the innovation capabilities of China's cities.This study focuses on 59 pilot cities identified for their innovative approaches within China,employing the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method to explore the complex causal relationships that influence urban innovation performance.The innovation ecosystem is segmented into three main subsystems including the core innovation entities,available innovation resources,and the surrounding innovation environment.We examine the interconnectedness of the three subsystems and their effects on driving urban innovation performance.Our findings reveal that high urban innovation performance doesn t hinge on a single essential condition.However,the absence of technological innovators is a critical factor for lower innovation outcomes.We identify three ecosystem models capable of fostering high innovation performance,those driven by the environment,a balanced growth of resources and environment,and technological-environmental progress.Moreover,the strategies propelling high innovation performance differ between the eastern and the central-western areas.This research contributes to a deeper comprehension of urban innovation ecosystems and uncovers various pathways through which Chinese cities can achieve superior innovation performance,guided by the theoretical underpinnings of innovation ecosystems.
