本文旨在探讨商业模式如何通过创新双元性的中介作用对企业绩效产生影响。为此,本文提出了商业模式、创新双元性与企业绩效三者之间关系的研究假设,并通过应用层次回归分析方法对来自173家制造业企业的问卷调查数据进行实证分析检验了这些假设。研究结果表明:效率为中心的商业模式设计与新颖为中心的商业模式设计都对创新双元性具有显著的正向影响;创新双元性对企业绩效具有显著的正向影响;创新双元性分别在效率为中心的商业模式设计、新颖为中心的商业模式设计对企业绩效的影响中起部分中介作用。这些结论因揭示了商业模式对于企业绩效的间接影响而拓展了商业模式与企业绩效关系理论,同时对于企业建立商业模式模仿隔离机制具有一定指导意义。
This paper aims to explore how business models affect firm performance through the mediating role of innovation ambidexterity. Therefore,the hypotheses of relationship among business models,innovation ambidexterity and firm performance are proposed,and these hypotheses are tested by using hierarchical regression analysis with data collected from 173 manufacturing firms. The results show that both efficiency- centered and novelty- centered business model designs have positive influence on innovation ambidexterity; innovation ambidexterity has positive influence on firm performance. The results also show that innovation ambidexterity partially mediates the relationship between efficiency- centered business model design and firm performance as well as the relationship between novelty- centered business model design and firm performance. This study expands the studies of the influence of business models on firm performance by showing the indirect influence of business models. This study may help firms figure out isolating mechanisms that can be used to prevent the business model from being undermined by competitors' imitation.
