模仿创新与自主创新的共演机制——基于技术视角的案例分析

Co-evolution Mechanism of Imitation Innovation and Independent Innovation: A Study based on Technology Perspective

在对杭州衣科信息技术有限公司相关人员深度访谈和企业实习的基础上,结合大量相关的文献资料,通过扎根理论方法,提炼出七大主范畴。发现:借助模仿创新、自主创新、二次创新、价值创新和低成本运作等方式对企业的技术、产品和服务等进行创新,并最终形成"创新(自主创新)→模仿创新→破坏→创新调整(模仿创新)→创新(二次创新)"的成长模式,是衣科实现快速发展的根本原因。模仿创新与自主创新的交替共演机制,是对传统模仿创新与自主创新理论的有益补充。同时,研究结果从模仿创新与自主创新交替共演的视角,丰富了现有二次创新、后发企业技术追赶等研究的理论外延。

Through in-depth interview with Hangzhou Yike Ltd.,and combined with a large number of related literature,seven main conceptions are extracted by method of grounded theory. It is found that by means of imitation innovation,independent innovation,secondary innovation,value innovation and low-cost operation to innovate in technology,products and services,and to form a growth mode of 'innovation(independent innovation) → imitation innovation → destruction → innovation adjustment(imitation innovation) → innovation(secondary innovation) ',is the fundamental reason for Hangzhou Yike’s rapid development. This paper discovers the co-evolution mechanism of imitation innovation and independent innovation,which is a useful supplement to the traditional theory of imitation innovation and independent innovation. In the meantime,the research results enrich the existing research on secondary innovation and technology catch-up of latecomer enterprises from the perspective of co-evolution of imitation innovation and independent innovation.
