Technological proximity and the choice of cooperation partner

This paper provides empirical tests of hypotheses of cooperative behavior provided by evolutionary approaches in the resource-based view of the firm. The influences of “technological proximity”, individual incentives to cooperate and managerial tools to the choice of research partner are analyzed. Using German patent data we can show the positive influence of those three determinants. The results of this paper confirm theories dealing with the path-dependency of research activities.      

The diffusion of mobile payments: Profiling the adopters and non-adopters,Roger's way

This study aims to establish various market segments based on consumers' attitudinal elements influencing the adoption of mobile payments (m-payments). It also examines the best discriminators between identified clusters of m-payment users. Three hundred and sixty m-payment users participated in the study. Cluster and discriminant analyses were employed for the analysis. The findings suggest that two segments are established, and strategies can be developed accordingly. The study provides marketers with numerous touchpoints to propagate the adoption of m-payment apps. It also comprehensively explains m-payment users in developing economies by superimposing the cohorts to Roger's diffusion of innovation model.     

When memes program the genes: What managers need to know about the emerging genetic revolution

Many industries and their offerings have fallen victim to managerial shortsightedness. Firms often believe they are invincible and see themselves as immune to threats from seemingly unrelated technologies. There seemed to be no apparent link between bound paper books and the emerging internet, no discernible ties between the video rental business and streaming technologies, and no obvious connections between photography and cellular phones. When these associations were established by means of other, newer technologies, major incumbent firms such as Barnes & Noble, Blockbuster, and Kodak came crashing down. CRISPR is the technology of the moment, one that will enable the programming of evolution. While we might think about gene editing in terms of cures for diseases, its repercussions will impact almost every domain of human and planetary development, and sooner than one might think. In this installment of On The Horizon, we adopt an evolutionary perspective to understand the impact of the genetic revolution on firms regardless of industry.     

自利抑或协同：非国有股权参与如何影响国有企业绿色技术创新

基于外部性理论与制度理论,以2013-2019年A股国有上市公司为研究样本,利用面板Tobit模型考察非国有股权参与对国有企业绿色技术创新的影响。结果发现,非国有股权参与显著促进国有企业绿色技术创新,股权融合程度越高,绿色技术创新水平越高,外资股东参与有利于国有企业绿色技术创新,但机构投资者未表现出明显作用;分层分类检验结果表明,非国有股权参与更有利于中央国有企业、公益类国有企业绿色技术创新。外部治理环境调节效应检验结果表明,环保补贴可以增强非国有股权的环境研发激励作用,分析师关注有利于抑制私有股权短视化自利行为,二者均正向调节非国有股权参与对国有企业绿色技术创新的促进作用。     

跨界搜寻的创新驱动力：一个有调节的中介模型

以来自4个省份的357家企业为研究对象,以动态能力理论为基础,探讨跨界搜寻对技术创新的影响,以及动态能力和技术动荡在其中的中介与调节作用。结果发现：跨界搜寻的两种类型搜寻（技术知识和市场知识）对组织技术创新具有显著正向影响。同时,动态能力中介两类跨界搜寻和技术创新之间的正向关系,在技术知识跨界搜寻与技术创新之间发挥完全中介作用,在市场知识跨界搜寻与技术创新之间发挥部分中介作用。此外,组织外部较高的技术动荡水平不仅会加强动态能力对技术创新的正向影响,还会强化动态能力在两种类型搜寻与技术创新之间的中介效应。     

避专利工艺与海正药业的技术能力升级

以企业技术能力升级的相关理论为基础,采用海正药业的3个他汀类产品为案例分析对象,对海正药业他汀类产品在应用“避专利工艺”过程中所采取的做法和获得的收益进行了分析与总结。研究发现,通过采取“避专利工艺”,海正药业获得的不仅仅是产品上的收益,更重要的是提高了企业的技术能力,尤其是国内药企普遍缺乏的创新能力。     

技术进步对中国就业影响的实证分析:1978—2006

技术进步对就业具有双重影响,一定时期内技术进步的就业效应并不明确。本文将TFP分解为纯技术进步率和技术效率的提高,运用1978—2006年的时间序列数据,分别分析了纯技术进步率和技术效率的提高对我国就业的影响。本文的研究发现,纯技术进步对就业具有比较显著的负效应,当期技术效率的改善对就业没有显著影响,而滞后期技术效率的改善却对就业量的增加具有负效应;经济的高速增长对我国就业总量的增加具有明显的正效应。因此,保持经济的高速增长对我国就业具有十分重要的意义。

上市公司R & D投入与其成长的相关性研究

本文采用上证A股中小板块的55家上市公司所披露的2011年度报表信息为数据样本,并从偿债能力、资产运营能力、发展能力和盈利能力四个方面的10个指标通过因子分析法来研究公司的成长性,从而得到公司成长性的得分。然后,以公司成长性得分作为因变量,以R&D投入强度和技术人员投入比率、技术人员素质为自变量通过回归法研究上市公司R&D的投入与其成长的数理关系。通过研究得出以下结论：R&D强度对企业成长性的影响为正,相关系数为2.2373,说明影响较大;技术人员投入比率对企业成长影响为正,相关系数为0.72,说明具有一定的促进作用,但作用效果与R&D强度相比小的多;但技术人员的素质与企业的成长不存在相关性。     

Geographical concentration and the dynamics of countries' specialization in technologies

This paper examines the empirical dynamics of countries' technological specialization in six technology fields using distribution dynamics. In all technology fields innovation activities are performed by relatively few countries and the degree of concentration is fairly stable in time. Intra-distribution dynamics is characterized by persistence of within field countries' specialization levels around or below the mean, while high specialization levels revert towards lower values. This strengthens the case for absorptive capacity. Electronics show some distinctive properties: they have the highest degree of geographical concentration and numerous small countries among those specialized; they also are the least mobile technology field. In a Schumpeterian perspective, this is in line with "creative accumulation".
