同构型知识基础合作研发伙伴的优势

Isomorphic Knowledge Base: The Advantage of R D Partners

摘要:

在专利竞赛的压力下,企业普遍选择知识基础多元化、网络化路线。基于汽车产业1999-2010年专利数据和负二项混合回归模型的实证研究表明,企业自身知识基础多元化与创新产出正相关,而自身知识基础网络密度与创新产出负相关；合作研发伙伴知识基础多元化正向调节自身知识基础多元化,合作研发伙伴知识基础网络密度正向调节自身知识基础网络密度。这表明同构型合作研发伙伴有利于企业自身吸收能力的释放,对于提升其创新产出更有优势。

Abstract:

Under the pressure of patent race, it is prevailing that firms adopt the diversification and networking strategy for their knowledge base. Based on 1999-2010 patent data for the automobile industry and the negative-binomial mixed-effect models, the empirical analysis show that the diversification of knowledge base is positively associated with innovation output while its networking is negatively correlated with innovation output. It is also evidenced that the diversification of R D partners’ knowledge base positively moderate the relationship between the focal firm’s knowledge base diversification and its innovation output. The networking of R D partners’ knowledge base positively moderate the relationship between the focal firm’s knowledge base networking and its innovation output. This indicates that isomorphic R D partners are more contributive for the enhancement of firms’ absorptive capacity and thus is an advantage for innovation output.
