中文摘要：

模仿经常被理解为劣势公司追赶市场领导者采取的生存策略。一直以来，模仿被轻视，被认为是简单而容易的，同时由于模仿的不完全性，模仿效果也会大打折扣。但最新的研究表明，正是因为模仿的不完全性，也即不完全模仿，才是创新的源泉。不完全模仿创新越来越受到关注，尤其对发展中国家的落后企业来说，不完全模仿创新是一种有效可行的创新捷径。本文首先对不完全模仿创新的概念内涵进行了界定，分析了不完全模仿创新的动机及影响因素；其次，总结归纳了不完全模仿创新对企业创新绩效的影响；最后，对不完全模仿创新的未来研究进行了展望。

英文摘要：

Imitation is always regarded as a survival strategy through which inferior firms can catch up the market leaders. All this time, imitation is belittled and is considered to be simple and easy. Due to the imperfection of imitation, imitation effect is also discounted. However, the latest research suggests that the imitation＇s incompleteness or imperfect imitation is the source of innovation. Imperfect imitation is attracting more and more attention, and especially for inferior firms in developing countries, imperfect imitation innovation is an effective and available way of innovation. Firstly, this paper accurately defines the concept of imperfect imitation innovation, and analyzes the motivations and influencing factors of imperfect imitation innovation. Secondly, it summarizes the effects of imperfect imitation innovation on enterprise innovation performance. Finally, it points out future research of imperfect imitation innovation.
