Effects of Inter-organizational Knowledge Synergy on Innovation Performance

Abstract

Abstract: This paper divides the inter organizational knowledge synergy into efficiency knowledge synergy and growth knowledge synergy based on Amit and Zott's theory of source of value creation, constructs a mechanism model of knowledge synergy-dual innovation capability-innovation performance, and empirically studies the performance mechanism of knowledge synergy among open innovation organizations using the survey data of high-tech enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region. The empirical results show that the inter-organizational knowledge synergy has a positive effect on dual innovation capability and innovation performance, with the dual innovation capability playing a partial mediating role between organizational knowledge synergy and innovation performance. Furthermore, it is found that the efficiency knowledge synergy has a more significant effect on the exploitation and the growth knowledge synergy exerts a stronger effect on exploration. Compared with exploration, exploitation exerts a greater influence on enterprise innovation performance. This paper theoretically reveals the performance mechanism of inter-organizational knowledge synergy, and provides management inspiration for enterprises to implement open innovation in practice.

Key words: Open Innovation, Inter-organizational Knowledge Synergy, Dual Innovation Capability, Innovation Performance

摘要： 本文将组织间知识协同分为效率性知识协同和增长性知识协同,在理论分析的基础上,构建知识协同—双元创新能力—创新绩效的机制模型,采用长三角地区高新技术企业调研数据,实证研究开放式创新组织间知识协同绩效作用机制。结果表明,组织间知识协同对双元创新能力和创新绩效具有正向影响作用,双元创新能力在组织间知识协同与创新绩效之间起部分中介作用;进一步发现效率性知识协同对开发性创新能力作用更显著,增长性知识协同对探索性创新能力作用更显著;相对探索性创新,开发性创新对企业创新绩效作用更显著。本文理论上揭示了组织间知识协同的绩效作用机制,实践上为企业实施开放式创新提供了管理启示。
