中文摘要：

基于资源依赖理论和权变理论,本文构建了开发型关系和利用型关系对创新柔性影响的理论模型;并将环境竞争性和环境动态性作为调节变量,来探索外部环境如何影响关系类型对创新柔性的影响作用。通过对194家企业的实证研究,研究结果表明利用型关系和开发型关系均有利于提升企业创新柔性;并进一步发现环境动态性正向调节开发型关系对创新柔性的影响,而环境竞争性负向调节开发型关系对创新柔性的影响,正向调节利用型关系对创新柔性的影响。说明环境竞争性强,减弱企业通过开发型关系来提升创新柔性,企业更多地采用利用型关系提升创新柔性;环境动态性强,增强企业通过开发型关系来提升创新柔性。

英文摘要：

Based on resource dependency theory and contingency theory,how various types of tie portfolios,i.e.,exploratory and exploitative relationship could be beneficial to innovation flexibility is examined.Environmental competitiveness and dynamics are combined as moderators,for the how the extraneous environmental conditions have influence on the efficiency of exploratory relationship and exploitative relationship is explored.By using survey data collected from a sample of 194 firms in mainland China,it is demonstrated that exploratory and exploitative relationship are both positively related to the firms innovation flexibility.It is also found that the positive relationship between them is moderated by the level of competitiveness and dynamics in their environments.Environment dynamics positively moderates the relationship between exploratory relationship and innovation flexibility.Environment competitiveness negatively moderates the relationship between exploratory relationship and innovation flexibility;on the contrary,it positively moderates the relationship between exploitative relationship and innovation flexibility.The result means that with an increase of competitiveness,firms will employ less exploratory relationship but more exploitative relationship to enhance innovation flexibility.With an increase of dynamics,firms will employ more exploratory relationship to enhance innovation flexibility.
