惯例复制与知识转移:作用机制的权变条件研究

doi:10.12005/orms.2020.0011

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 针对惯例复制过程中与外部情景难以匹配的复制困境,分析了常规惯例复制和柔性惯例复制对知识转移的单独以及联合作用的关系悖论,对比分析作用机制在网络闭合性和环境不确定性约束下的权变性影响。以研发密集型企业为对象,运用多元回归分析进行实证检验。结果表明:网络闭合性和环境不确定性是惯例复制对知识转移的单独以及联合作用的权变条件;网络闭合性强化了常规惯例复制机制的促进作用,但限制了柔性惯例复制机制的效能发挥;环境不确定性削弱了常规惯例复制机制的促进作用,对柔性惯例复制机制的作用效果不显著;网络闭合性低或环境不确定性低时,两种惯例复制机制的联合作用相互补充,而网络闭合性高或环境不确定性高时,两种惯例复制机制相互替代。研究结论有助于揭示惯例复制的权变作用,对提升技术创新网络的知识转移效率具有重要意义。

Abstract: In order to deal with the routine replication dilemma when routine can not be matched with the external environment, an analysis is conducted based on the paradox relationship among the two routine replication mechanisms with knowledge transfer. This research is focused on the shifting effects and interaction effects over the range of network closure and environment uncertainty. Then an empirical survey is made by multiple regression model with R&D cooperation intensity industry data. The results show that: network closure and environment uncertainty are contingency conditions between routines replication and knowledge transfer. The network closure enhances the promotion effect on conventional routine replication with knowledge transfer, but has inhibitory effect on flexible routine replication. The environment uncertainty has the reduction effect on conventional routine replication, but has no significant moderated effect on flexible routine replication. The two routine replication mechanisms functions as complements in sparse network and stable environment, but they become substitutes in closed network and dynamic uncertain environment. This research can reveal the contingency mechanism of routine replication, while it has significant meaning to improve the capacity of knowledge transfer in technology innovation network.
