创新开放度与企业绩效：基于外向型开放创新的视角

Research on the relationship between innovation openness and firm performance based on outbound open innovation

摘要:

开放式创新已经成为创新管理研究的热点之一,但以往文献都聚焦于内向型开放创新,而对于外向型开放创新的关注不足。本文基于2010-2012年中国176家高技术上市公司数据,从专利技术许可视角,研究外向型开放创新模式下创新开放度与企业绩效的关系。研究表明,目前我国企业对外创新输出的开放程度总体较低,开放广度对企业财务绩效、创新绩效均无显著性影响；开放深度与财务绩效、创新绩效则呈现倒U型关系。企业可以通过调整外向型开放深度和优化创新广度和深度的协调关系提升创新绩效和财务绩效。

Abstract:

Open innovation has become one of the hotspots of innovation management. However, previous literatures have focused on inbound open innovation, and paid less attention to outbound open innovation. Based on the data of 176 high-tech companies in 2010-2012, this paper analyzes the relationship between innovation openness and firm performance from the perspective of patent technology licensing. The results show that the degree of openness is not enough for Chinese firms so that the breadth of openness has no significant effect on financial performance and innovation performance, while the depth of openness takes an inverted U shape with both financial performance and innovation performance. Enterprises can improve the innovation performance and financial performance by adjusting the depth of openness and optimizing the relationship between breadth and depth of openness.
