组织忘记对企业二元创新平衡的影响研究

The Influence of Organizational Unlearning upon Ambidexterity of Exploratory and Exploitative Innovations

摘要:

二元创新平衡是创新研究领域所关注的重要议题,但已有研究很少从组织忘记的视角对二元创新平衡进行研究。本文构建了一个有调节的中介模型,分析组织忘记对企业二元创新平衡的影响,以及战略柔性和企业规模在以上关系中所起的中介和调节作用,并通过271份有效的问卷调查数据进行实证检验。运用SPSS PROCESS宏程序(3.3版本)进行回归分析,发现组织忘记对企业二元创新平衡的直接效应和间接效应同时存在,战略柔性的两个维度——资源柔性和协调柔性在二者之间均起到中介作用,企业规模在组织忘记与战略柔性的两个维度间起着调节作用。研究结果不仅为二元创新平衡的研究开辟了新的视角,同时对中国企业提升二元创新平衡具有现实指导意义。

Abstract:

Ambidexterity of exploratory and exploitative innovations is an important topic in the research field of innovation. However, there is few research about it from the perspective of knowledge management, especially from the perspective of organizational unlearning. In this paper, a moderated mediating model was built to analyze the influence of organizational unlearning upon ambidexterity of exploratory and exploitative innovations, with emphasis on the mediating effect of strategic flexibility and the moderating effect of firm size. 271 samples were collected to conduct the empirical study and SPSS PROCESS( Version 3.3) was used to do the regression analysis. The results showed that organizational unlearning had a significant positive impact on the two dimensions of strategic flexibility (resource flexibility, cooperative flexibility) and the innovative ambidexterity of enterprises, the two dimensions of strategic flexibility, resource flexibility and cooperative flexibility not only had significant positive impact on innovative ambidexterity, but also play an intermediary role in the process of organizational unlearning influencing innovative ambidexterity, and firm size played a negative regulating role between organizational unlearning and strategic flexibility. The research not only provided a new perspective for the research of ambidexterity of exploratory and exploitative innovations, but also had practical implications for the firms to improve innovation ambidexterity.
