基于多Agent仿真的双元创新平衡与组织绩效关系研究

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 运用多主体仿真方法,探讨了双元创新平衡对组织绩效的作用机理,并且检验了个体间模仿学习速度、任务复杂度、人员流动、环境扰动等情境因素与双元创新平衡对组织绩效的交互影响。仿真实验的结果表明,当组织处于稳定环境下,任务复杂程度适中,并且个体间模仿学习速度中等时,双元创新平衡参数与组织绩效间呈现倒U型的影响关系;当任务过于复杂或者过于简单时,任务本身的特性削弱了双元创新平衡参数对组织绩效的影响,不同平衡模式对应的组织绩效没有明显的差距;当个体间模仿学习速度比较慢时,增强了组织的探索性,此时具有利用式创新倾向的组织可以更好地提升组织绩效水平。但当个体间模仿学习速度过快时,组织更多的倾向探索式创新对组织绩效的提升更有利;当组织存在人员流动和外部环境扰动时,更多的利用式创新可以提升组织对现有知识进行重组和整合的能力,从而更好地适应环境的动态变化。

Abstract: Using multi-agent simulation approach, this paper explores the functional mechanism of the balance of ambidextrous innovation on organizational performance, and examines the interaction effects of the balance of ambidextrous innovation and some contextual factors, namely interpersonal learning speed, task complexity, personnel turnover and environmental disturbance. The results of simulation experiments show that an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between the balance of ambidextrous innovation and organizational performance when the environment is stable, task complexity is moderate, and interpersonal learning speed is moderate. When task is too complicated or too simple, the characteristics of the task itself weaken the influence of the balance parameters of ambidextrous innovation on organizational performance, and the corresponding performance levels of different balance patterns have no significant differences. When interpersonal learning speed is slow, it enhances the exploration, and thus organization that has a tendency of exploitative innovation can achieve a higher level of performance. However when learning speed is too fast, organization that has more tendency of exploratory innovation performs better. When there exists personnel turnover and environmental disturbance, organization that carries out more exploitative innovation can enhance its ability of knowledge restructuring and integration, thereby improving its adaptation to the dynamic change of the environment.

Key words: exploratory innovation, exploitative innovation, ambidextrous innovation, organizational performance, multi-agent simulation
