创业研究存在成功偏见,忽视失败情景的学习价值,割裂了失败与成功之间的关系.整合信息处理理论和经验学习理论,考察失败学习行为与创新绩效的因果关系,探索战略决策周密与技术不确定性对该过程的调节影响.研究发现:个体与组织层面失败学习行为对创新绩效有正向影响,但两者对创新绩效有负向交互作用;战略决策周密对创新绩效有正向影响;战略决策周密正向调节组织层面失败学习行为与创新绩效之间关系;技术不确定性正向调节个体层面失败学习行为与创新绩效之间关系,但是负向调节组织层面失败学习行为与创新绩效之间关系.研究表明,创业企业从失败中学习可提高其创新绩效,但“有计划的失败”比“没有计划的失败”更有学习价值.
Researches on entrepreneurship have the shortcomings of success bias and underdeveloping the val-ue of learning from failure, which isolates the linkage of failure and subsequent success. Based on the informa-tion processing theory and experiential learning theory, the paper explores the causal relationship between the learning behaviors from failures (LBF) and innovation performances of high-tech new start-ups, and the mod-eration effects of strategic decision comprehensiveness (SDC) and technological uncertainty. The results reveal that both LBF on the individual level and on the organizational level have positive effects and negative interac-tion effects on the innovation performance; SDC positively moderates the relationship between the LBF on the organizational level; the technological uncertainty positively moderates the relationship between LBF on the in-dividual level, but negatively moderates the relationship between the LBF on the organizational level. The re-suits suggest that learning from failures can facilitate the improvement of innovation performance, but a failure with comprehensive plans beforehand is a much better learning opportunity than the one without.
