在技术推动和市场拉动之外,设计也被认为是创新的第三种驱动力,但不同创新驱动力之间的耦合及其对企业探索性创新和利用性创新活动的影响尚未得到现有研究的重视。在RBV视角下,本文分析了技术、市场和设计能力的双重耦合及三重耦合模式,并基于对357家佛山市科技型小微企业的两阶段调查数据,实证分析了不同耦合模式对科技型小微企业探索性创新和利用性创新活动的影响。分析结果显示在探索性创新中,技术和市场能力的双重耦合、技术和设计能力的双重耦合,以及技术、市场和设计能力的三重耦合均会对创新活动的推进产生显著的正向影响;而在利用性创新中,主要是技术和市场能力的双重耦合以及市场与设计能力的双重耦合会对创新活动的推进产生显著的正向影响,三重耦合模式对于创新活动的作用并不显著。研究结论说明技术、市场和设计能力之间的不同耦合方式在科技型小微企业探索性创新和利用性创新中发挥着不同的作用,有助于进一步针对不同的创新活动完善创新的耦合模型。
Although design has been taken as another driving force in enterprises innovation in recent studies besides technology push and market pull,there has little research effort to explain the interactive effects between three driving forces on exploratory and exploitative innovations of enterprises. Drawing on the Resource-based View,this study investigates the joint effects of technological capabilities,market capabilities and design capabilities on exploratory and exploitative innovations in Technological Small and Micro Enterprises( TSMEs) based on the two-stage data collected from 357 TSMEs operating in Foshan in Guangdong Province. The results indicate that the interaction between technological and market capabilities both has a significant positive influence on exploratory innovations and exploitative innovations in TSMEs. In addition,technological and design capabilities have a significant positive joint effect on exploratory innovations,and market and design capabilities have a significant positive joint effect on exploitative innovations in TSMEs. Moreover,the results of the three-way interaction testing suggest that technological capabilities,market capabilities and design capabilities only have complementary effect on exploratory innovations instead on exploitative innovations. The findings underscore the difference of interactive effects between three capabilities on exploratory and exploitative innovations,which generates new insights for the coupling model of innovation.
