A capabilities perspective on the joint effects of internationalization time,speed, geographic scope and managers’ competencies on SME survival

This study examines the effect of key internationalization contingencies on SME survival. We argue early internationalization increases the probability of firm failure, while international experience reduces it. However, the survival odds among international new ventures may be improved by their post-entry international expansion scope and speed, and by managers’ competencies. These internationalization facets provide firms with opportunities to develop and exploit their resources and capabilities, and thus enhance their survival chances. Drawing on a sample of 271 manufacturers followed between 2005 and 2014, we find results that provide support to most of our arguments, and hold theoretical and managerial relevance.     

企业动态能力对组织内部创新机制作用理论阐释

如何才能使我国企业更好地建立内部创业环境、制定内部创业规则以及激活内部创业活动,是在当前建设创新型社会的大背景下,对企业长远发展意义重大的问题之一。本文试从当前理论界比较前沿的企业动态能力的角度出发,理论探讨这一命题,以期得出一些可以借鉴的结论。     

企业边界变迁的产业组织演化

交易成本理论从成本角度分析企业边界形成与变迁,企业能力理论则采用比较利益的方法从收入角度分析.短期中,如果企业能力有很大的差异,交易成本降低,位于价值链中上下游的企业将趋于专业化生产;如果企业能力均匀分布,交易成本降低,对专业化生产没有影响.长期中,企业能力、交易成本、企业边界形成互动循环的演化机制,并且在竞争过程中实现自然选择,引起产业组织演化.     

员工感知和自我调节学习能力与可持续性商业模式创新

数字经济快速发展的新阶段推动着商业模式的创新与变革.分析了员工感知和自我调节学习能力对可持续性商业模式创新的影响.结果表明,员工感知和自我调节学习能力正向影响可持续性商业模式创新,大数据能力与组织敏捷性也呈现显著中介效应,并形成员工感知和自我调节学习能力→大数据能力→组织敏捷性→可持续性商业模式创新的路径机制.在此基础上,进一步研究了差异化的主体对中介效应与商业模式的影响路径的不同影响路径.     

Contextualising capability development: configurations of knowledge governance mechanisms in project-based organizations

Given the project-based organization’s (PBO) strong focus on autonomy and temporary decentralisation, it faces unique challenges with regard to long-term organisational learning and capability development. To address how PBOs cope with these challenges, we address the role of knowledge governance (KG) mechanisms to foster capability development. The present paper reports on a multiple case study comprising 23 PBOs and demonstrates the importance of ‘configurations of KG mechanisms’ for facilitating learning and capability development. This paper develops four distinct configurations (balanced, formalistic, interactive, and fragile) that promote three principal organisational-level learning processes: shifting, leveraging and adapting. This research underscores the close relationship between knowledge governance mechanisms and capability development and the importance of designing the appropriate configuration of KG mechanisms to foster capability development.     

Organizational innovation as an enabler of technological innovation capabilities and firm performance

This study assesses the relationship between organizational innovation and technological innovation capabilities, and analyzes their effect on firm performance using a resource-based view theoretical framework. The article presents empirical evidence from a survey of 144 Spanish industrial firms and modeling of a system of structural equations using partial least squares. The results confirm that organizational innovation favors the development of technological innovation capabilities and that both organizational innovation and technological capabilities for products and processes can lead to superior firm performance.     

论发展中国家复杂产品技术能力发展阶段的划分

在对已有的技术能力发展阶段理论评述的基础上,提出以自主知识产权的产品开发平台作为复杂产品技术能力发展阶段划分的标志,将复杂产品技术能力的发展过程分为"起步-自立追赶-领先"三个阶段,并阐明了这种阶段划分的实践意义。
