利用世界银行针对中国企业的最新微观企业数据库,对制度环境、产业链信息化密度影响企业研发联盟决策的内在机理进行了实证检验,并基于企业间声誉视角考察了产业链信息化密度在其中的中介调节作用。研究发现:当下企业研发联盟决策行为中存在"制度悖论"现象,即制度环境对研发联盟倾向具有一定的抑制作用;整体及分环节产业链信息化密度均能够对企业研发联盟倾向起到积极影响,且从边际效应来看,上游环节信息化密度的边际影响效应相对较大;进一步研究发现,产业链信息化密度有助于企业间声誉机制的发挥,进而能够在企业研发联盟决策中的"制度悖论"现象中起到显著的负向中介调节作用。
Using the latest China firm-level database from World Bank,we empirically test the mechanisms among the system environment,information density of product chain and the decision of the firm’s R&D alliance. Also,we explore the mediator effect of the information density of product chain from the firms’ reputation mechanism perspective. The results show that currently the system environment has a negative effect on the decision of R&D alliance. And the information density of the product chain can promote the possibility of R&D alliance decision. The further study indicates that the information density is good for the firms’ reputation mechanism,which can make the information density has a negative mediator effect on the system paradox.
