文章基于对手机制造行业三家公司的案例分析,探索了企业如何利用创新网络提高创新活动的绩效。文章研究发现:企业网络能力的强弱会显著影响其创新网络的实力水平,企业可以通过网络能力来改变自己在网络中的地位并提升创新网络的实力,并积极利用创新网络中的创新资源以提升自身的创新绩效。同时,文章还发现:短期来看企业创新网络实力和其技术能力有相互替代作用;但长期来看,企业技术能力才是取得良好创新绩效的保证。文章在网络能力影响创新绩效的路径方面扩展了已有研究。
Based on the case study involving three cell phone manufacturing firms, how firms utilize innovation network to improve their innovation performance is explored. It is found that the level of network capabilities would impact the level of the innovation network significantly. Finns could use network capabilities to improve their positions in the network and enhance the competence of innovative network, and leverage innovative resources in the innovation network to improve innovation performance itself. It is also found that network capabilities could substitute technological capabilities in the short term, but in the long run, firms must improve their technological capabilities to obtain sustained innovation performance. The research extends the path knowledge in-volving the impact of network capabilities on innovation performance.
