主导企业适应突破性创新的组织方法选择研究

尽管创新管理文献在解释为什么主导企业适应突破性创新时会面临巨大困难而新进入企业面临较少困难上取得了显著进步,但关于为什么有些主导企业能够以及如何克服这些困难的研究仍然较少。可以肯定的是,一些主导企业确实在突破性创新出现后重新保持了以前的市场或技术地位,甚至更加巩固了其产业领导地位。研究分析了擅长于渐进性创新的主导企业如何经由特定的组织方法对突破性创新的挑战做出回应,并构建出了相应的组织方法选择模型。

The study of incumbent firms' choice of organizational approach to adapting to radical innovation

Although the innovation management literature has made significant progress in explaining why incumbent firms face greater difficulties adapting to radical innovations,and correspondingly,why entrant firms face these difficulties to a lesser extent,far less is known why and how certain incumbent firms have been able to buck this pattern.To be sure,some incumbent firms have successfully adapted and responded to radical innovations,and either recaptured their previous market or technological positions or remained the de facto leaders.This study examines how incumbent firms who are good at incremental innovation can simultaneously respond to the challenges of radical innovation and builds a corresponding model of choice of organizational approach.
