核心企业视角的强—弱关系对技术创新的影响

集群企业之间的强关系和弱关系哪个更利于集群企业的创新,学术界尚未定论.在以往研究的基础上,基于技术创新可以分为探索式创新和利用式创新的观点,认为企业之间的强弱关系可以共存,其中集群的核心企业之间往往存在弱关系,核心企业与配套企业之间往往存在强关系.通过博弈模型和实证分析证实了如下观点:核心企业之间的弱关系有利于探索式创新,核心企业与配套企业之间的强关系有利于利用式创新.同时,研究还发现探索式创新和利用式创新是相互促进、相互补充的.

Research on the Influence of the Strong Ties and Weak Ties on Technological Innovation Based on the Perspective of Core Enterprises

Whether strong tie or weak tie is more conductive to the cluster enterprises＇ innovation is an open question so far. Based on past research and the perspective of technological innovation being divided into exploration innovation and exploitation innova- tion, this paper argues that both strong tie and weak tie are able to coexist, and that the weak tie often exists between core enterprises of the cluster, meanwhile, strong tie exists between core enterprises and matching enterprises. The following views are confirmed by game model and empirical analysis： the weak tie is beneficial for exploration innovation and the strong tie is beneficial for exploitation innovation. Researches have also discovered that the exploration innovation and exploitation innovation are mutually promotional and mutually supplementary.
