知识集成的前因与影响:关系网络学习、社会嵌入性与自主创新
|
摘要
高端装备制造业具有知识密集、技术复杂、产品集成度高等特点,提高其自主创新能力是企业创造高附加值的关键。以高端装备制造企业为研究对象,通过理论演绎,探讨制造商与供应商之间的关系网络学习、社会嵌入性、内部合作能力、知识集成与企业自主创新之间的影响关系机理,提出相应的理论假设,并在此基础上,构建了五个变量之间的关系概念模型。认为关系网络学习与社会嵌入性是企业实现知识集成进而促进自主创新的外因,以上外因在企业内部合作能力的内因促进作用下使得知识集成的效果更加明显。以上结论不仅丰富了企业间合作关系理论、知识理论与自主创新理论,也可以为我国高端装备制造企业的实践提供参考。
High-end equipment manufacturing industry is knowledge-intensive,technology-complex and highly product-integrative.Improving its self-dependent innovation capability becomes the top priority for manufacturers to achieve added values.Taking equipment manufacturing enterprises as study objects,the present paper,with theoretical deduction,discusses the related influencing factors and mechanisms among relationship network learning between manufacturers and its suppliers,social embeddedness,internal coordination,knowledge integration and the enterprises' self-dependent innovation.It advances relevant theoretical hypothesis and constructs the relational and conceptual model among 5 variables.The study results indicate that relationship network learning and social embeddedness are external causes for enterprises to realize knowledge integration and to further promote self-dependent innovation.These external causes promoted by the enterprises' internal cooperation will make the knowledge integration more effective.These findings have not only enriched the theories of cooperation between enterprises,knowledge-based theories and self-dependent innovation theories,but also provided references for enterprises' practice in China.
