新创企业的网络嵌入是一个持续变化的动态过程,不同网络嵌入类型对创业绩效的作用会随着企业资源需求的变化而产生差异。本文以新创小微企业为研究对象,将创业过程划分为创建期、存活期与成长期三个阶段,着重探讨关系型嵌入和结构型嵌入对创业绩效影响的阶段性差异。运用回归分析方法,对217家新创小微企业样本进行实证研究,结果显示:在企业创建期,只有关系型嵌入对创业绩效产生显著的正向影响,而在存活期和成长期,关系型嵌入与结构型嵌入对创业绩效都具有显著的正向影响;结构型嵌入对创业绩效的贡献虽然呈增强的趋势,但是始终没有超过关系型嵌入。本研究证实了关系型嵌入对新企业成长的作用具有稳健性与强效性,而结构型嵌入仅在特定阶段有效。
The new enterprise's network embeddedness is a dynamic process, the effects of different network embeddedness types on entrepreneurial performance will change with the enterprise's resource demand. We take small and micro - size new ventures as research object to investigate the different effects of relational embeddedness and structural embeddedness on entrepreneurial performance at three stages of creation, survival and growth. This paper uses regression analysis method and survey data of 217 new ventures to test the hypotheses. And results show that, during the creation stage, only relational embeddedness has significant positive impact on entrepreneurial performance, during the survival and growth stage, relational embeddedness and structural embeddedness both have significant positive impact on entrepreneurial performance. Also, we find that, the effect of structural embeddedness is no more than relational embeddedness throughout the entrepreneurial process. These results indicate the impact of relational embeddedness is robust and powerful, while structural embeddedness works only at certain stages.
