Research on the Influence Mechanism of Technology Integration Capability on Complex Product Innovation Performance

Complex products are large and important products related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and their innovation ability has become an important indicator to measure a country's competitiveness. Complex products have the characteristics of high degree of system integration, high degree of coupling and complex structure. They can not rely on the independent innovation of a single enterprise resource. They need the collaborative innovation of core enterprises and many supplier enterprises to carry out cross domain, interdisciplinary and cross professional integration. At this time, as an important capability of complex product technology management, technology integration capability is widely used. On the one hand, it can help enterprises realize the matching between resource supply and make up for the shortage of internal resources; On the other hand, it can help enterprises integrate scattered external resources into enterprise competitive advantage, and then obtain value-added. However, in reality, different complex product enterprises that also adopt the technology integration mode show significantly different innovation performance. This difference stems from that many enterprises have not clarified the growth law and construction path of technology integration capability in the process of complex product R & D, nor their role law on innovation performance, resulting in superficial practice and falling into the black box of technology integration capability growth, Thus affecting the independent innovation of complex products. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the structural relationship of technology integration capability of complex product enterprises and its impact on innovation performance. Existing studies show that technology integration capability plays an important role in innovation performance, but there is no in-depth analysis of the structural relationship between the constituent dimensions of technology integration capability and its cultivation path. In addition, few studies combined with the specific situation of complex products to explore the structural relationship between the dimensions of technology integration capability and its mechanism on the innovation performance of complex products from more perspectives.#br#Using the survey data of complex product enterprises and hierarchical regression method, this paper discusses the impact mechanism of technology integration capability on complex product innovation performance. Due to the significant impact on the national economy and the people's livelihood, the production process of complex products has strong confidentiality, and it is difficult to obtain the data of production enterprises. This paper uses the following channels to collect data: first, obtain the consent of enterprises through e-mail, and collect data in the form of field questionnaires; Second, collect data through on-site meetings attended by enterprises. The confidentiality and research purpose of the questionnaire are attached at the beginning of the questionnaire to ensure the reliability of the data. The survey time is from September to December 2020. A total of 382 questionnaires were collected from Jiangsu, Shanghai, Changchun and other provinces and cities. 29 questionnaires with repeated options and more missing values were excluded, and 353 valid questionnaires were finally obtained.#br#The results show that the three dimensions of technology integration capability have sequential effects on the innovation performance of complex products; There is a significant correlation between product construction ability and complex product innovation performance; Resource acquisition ability and technology integration ability play a chain intermediary role between product construction ability and complex product innovation performance. The conclusion reveals that only when the product construction ability is integrated with resources and technology can the conceptual design play a role, so as to provide a continuous driving force for complex product innovation.#br#The research conclusion of this paper effectively bridges and extends the modular theory and resource-based theory to the field of complex products, makes a certain contribution to broaden the research scope of complex product innovation in China, and can bring enlightenment to later researchers. The sub dimension of technology integration capability, product construction capability, as the dynamic capability of the core enterprise as a whole, is of strategic significance to complex product innovation. Therefore, in practice, we can find ways to improve the performance of complex product innovation from the perspective of product construction ability. In addition, by exploring the chain intermediary path, this paper finds the methods to improve the innovation performance of complex product enterprises. On the one hand, enterprises can formulate appropriate management measures and create a cross organizational resource acquisition environment to improve enterprise innovation performance. On the other hand, enterprises can improve their technology integration level by managing the integration steps of complex product systems. The research conclusion can provide reference for the innovation of complex product enterprises.#br#
