本文以知识基础观为理论基础,探讨新兴市场企业在国际化过程中的技术创新问题,研究企业国际化水平、研发管理与创新绩效的关系。通过对1349家制造业企业的实证分析发现:(1)企业的国际化水平与技术创新绩效呈现正相关关系;(2)企业的研发管理对上述关系会发挥正向调节作用——只有在企业注重研发投入和知识产权管理时,国际化经营才能促进企业的技术创新绩效。因此,中国企业在国际化过程中,应注重自身研发管理能力的提高,保证足够的研发投入,加强知识产权管理。本文的研究结论对高科技企业如何响应国家"走出去"战略和自主创新战略的号召、提升全球竞争力具有一定的指导意义。
This study applies the knowledge based view to explore how internationalization affect the innovation performance of firms from emerging markets. Based on the empirical analysis of 1349 manufactures, the findings show that (1) internationalization is positively related to technological innovation performance; (2) R&D management has a positively moderating effect on the above relation- ship - only when the R&D input is high, or when the firm has a better intellectual property (IP) management will internationalization facilitates technological in- novation. Therefore, during the process of internationalization, Chinese firms have to improve their R&D managing capability, guarantee sufficient R&D expenditure, and strengthen their IP management. The findings here provide certain guidance on how high-technological firms respond to the policies of "Going abroad" and "Independent innovation" and improve their global competitiveness.
