技术创新能力生命周期与研发投入对企业绩效的影响

研发投入与企业绩效的关系一直备受国内外学者关注,但对该问题的研究并未得出一致结论。技术创新能力是高新技术企业内部能力的基础,不同技术创新能力水平下研发投入对企业绩效的影响存在显著差异。通过分析78家高科技上市公司2007-2013年面板数据,建立回归方程模型,探讨了在不同企业技术创新阶段研发投入与绩效的关系。实证研究表明,在成长期与成熟期,研发投入与绩效呈正向关系。其中,在成长期,该正向关系最显著;进入衰退期,二者之间不存在统计意义上的相关性。     

“One of these days,things are going to change!” How do you make sense of market disruption?

The significance of mindsets is apparent in everyday business life. As today’s managers and companies face uncertainty and disruptive change in the business environment and markets, there is a growing need to understand and strategically address such change. This becomes challenging when disruptive market forces confront the institutional logic or rules of the game based on collectively acquired experience of doing business in the given field. In overcoming such challenges, managers’ hidden reasoning remains an untapped potential while their existing mindset influences what they attend to and what they decide to do. This article elaborates a diagnostic framework, accompanied by a tool to help managers make sense of disruptive markets and reflect individually and collectively on possible courses of action. The framework has two principal dimensions—strategic scope and focus—that are further divided into three business elements of strategic market-oriented management: offering, customer, and market. The tool offers a practical means of profiling individuals’ mindsets. In increasingly dynamic business environments, reflection capabilities represent a new source of competitive advantage.     

Employee brand engagement on social media: Managing optimism and commonality

This article considers how employees engage with B2B firms on social media, a topic that is largely overlooked in the extant brand engagement literature. Using the results from a large-scale study of employee brand engagement on social media, we identify two key drivers of employee brand engagement using the content analysis tool DICTION—namely, optimism and commonality. Employees of top-ranked and -rated firms express higher levels of optimism and commonality in their reviews of their employers on social media than do their counterparts in bottom-ranked and -rated firms. This permits the construction of a 2 × 2 matrix that allows managers to diagnose strategies for increasing or improving employee brand engagement. This creates four different kinds of employee brand engagement situations, and offers human resources and marketing managers different strategies in each case. We demonstrate how practitioners and scholars can shed new light on the way stakeholders engage with brands.     

The internationalization paradox: Untangling dependence in multinational state hybrids

We investigate the internationalization of firms with ownership links to the state from the perspective of resource dependence theory, and argue that internationalization can reduce dependence on the home country government, but, paradoxically, this strategy also creates additional dependences, shifts the power balance, and provides rationales for increasing government control. Utilizing a ‘critical’ case – Vale from Brazil – we analyze different conditions that enable greater autonomy for and greater government control over multinational state hybrids in the context of internationalization. We contribute to the international business literature by generating a novel framework that considers the effects of market trends (extractive industry) and non-market trends (home country policies) on the internationalization of state hybrids.     

大学知识生产能力测度：场域特性、表征框架及实践应用

大学知识生产能力提升是推进中国“双一流”大学建设战略的重要突破口。资源是大学知识生产的基础,大学知识生产资源获取路径存在学术、市场和行政的三维场域分化。通过资源有效利用而培养能力是大学知识生产的最终目标,大学知识生产能力表征框架表现为输入性与输出性能力、学术探究力与市场竞争力的双重坐标,评价场域分化决定了大学知识生产能力测度标准的多维特性。大学科研管理实践是在遵循场域分化和各要素矛盾运动客观规律的基础上,对稳固基础、融合共生、优势转化等战略的主观选择及行动策略。     

创新情景下组织情绪形成与转化机制研究

组织层次情绪理论关注近期国际上逐渐兴起的新型情绪研究主题,是对组织层次情绪理论和情绪构面组织能力理论前沿的补充。但目前组织情绪资源传递机制尚未明晰,阻碍了情绪理论深入发展。基于组织情绪能力形成与转化视角,首先结合中国本土文化情境,将组织内领导-成员互动分为角色获得、角色扮演和角色习惯化3个阶段;组织内部场景情绪互动可以分为情绪刺激、情绪认知和情绪反应3个阶段;情绪资源螺旋分为个体单元内、单元间、组织行动体系内、体系间4个阶段和5个阶点;然后进一步从塑造、渗透与转化3条路径分析情绪资源转化为创新智力资源的动态机制;最后,对组织情绪研究结论与启示进行总结,并从前因、测量及文化等方面提出未来研究方向。     

企业研发投入、资源特征与创新绩效关系研究

基于资源基础观,探讨了企业“资源池”中财务资源特征与技术资源特征如何与研发投入行为匹配以提升创新绩效,以创业板355家企业为样本开展泊松回归分析,研究发现：R&D投入与创新绩效存在倒U型关系;财务资源特征——资产流动性对R&D投入与创新绩效存在正向调节作用,起着“加速剂”作用;由于组织技术路径依赖,技术资源特征——技术积累程度对R&D投入与创新绩效存在负向调节作用,起着“缓冲剂”作用;资产流动性与技术积累程度提高会促进研发投入与创新绩效关系的阈值提高,促进更多研发投入有效转化。探讨了企业研发投入行为与资源特征的匹配,可为促进创新绩效提升提供理论支撑。     

政府研发补助对东北高端装备制造企业创新绩效的影响

以2012-2016年东北高端装备制造上市公司面板数据为样本,实证分析了政府研发补助对企业创新绩效的作用关系,同时分析该作用路径下企业研发投入的中介作用以及高管人力资本的调节作用。研究发现：政府研发补助对企业研发投入与创新绩效均有显著正向作用,企业研发投入在政府研发补助与企业创新绩效关系中起完全中介作用;高管任期负向调节政府研发补助与企业研发投入的关系,但正向调节企业研发投入与创新绩效的关系;高管学历在政府研发补助-企业研发投入-企业创新绩效的作用路径中,均起显著正向调节作用。     

政策契合、资源整合与创业能力

Understanding resource investments

The Millennium Boom of 2003–2011 made the resources industry highly profitable and led to a surge in new projects around the world. This had major implications for the Australian economy: Resource investment accounted for almost half of all business investment at the peak and the buoyancy of the sector helped Australia to avoid the worst of the global financial crisis. Using the event-study approach, this article examines the wealth-creating effects of new resource projects at the individual company level. The results indicate substantial increases in shareholder returns occur around the time of announcements of government approval for projects, the finalization of feasibility studies and changes in the status of projects such as when a company decides to finally commit to invest in a project. Government approval is the most important milestone in the life cycle of a project, where abnormal returns around 4% are realized on announcement day.
