新创企业二元创新驱动持续成长机制及实现路径研究

How to get rid of the dilemma of high failure rate and low growth rate and achieve sustainable growth for new ventures has become the question needing theoretical and practical field urgently to answer. Addressing to current needs of new ventures and the blank of the existing research, this project will study the driving mechanism on sustainable growth and the implementing path and strategy of new ventures’ ambidextrous innovation based on the time dimension. This project will study the ambidextrous innovation mode, the key variables and critical variables determining the growth in each growing stage of new ventures. Through exploratory case studies, we will explore the function mechanism of the ambidextrous innovation on the stage growth and stage transition. Based on the panel data of sample enterprises, we will exert empirical study of the driving effect and contingency mechanism of the ambidextrous innovation on the stage growth performance. According to the ecological theory, from the perspective of the explicit performance of sustainable growth-product evolution and the fundamental support-knowledge, we will examine the micro-mechanism and model of the ambidextrous innovation driving sustainable growth deeply. Through theoretical and empirical research, we explore the impact mechanism of strategic orientation and innovation capability on the ambidextrous innovation, and then explore the implementing path of the ambidextrous innovation. We will propose the implementing strategy from the internal strategy, capacity level and the external policy support system. The expected results will enrich the entrepreneurship and innovation management theory under Chinese context, and provide guidance for the new ventures to fully dig and utilize the driving value of the ambidextrous innovation to achieve sustainable growth.

新创企业如何摆脱高失败率和低成长率困境实现持续成长成为理论界和实践界亟需解决的问题。针对新创企业现实需求和现有研究的空白，本课题基于时间维度研究新创企业二元创新驱动持续成长机制及实现路径与策略。研究新创企业成长各阶段二元创新模式、决定成长的关键变量和临界变量，通过探索性案例研究，探究二元创新对阶段成长和阶段跃迁的作用机制。基于样本企业面板数据，实证分析二元创新对阶段成长绩效的驱动效应及权变机制。依据生态学理论，从持续成长的显性表现——产品演化，根本性支撑——知识的角度切入，深入考察二元创新驱动持续成长的微观机理和模式。通过理论和实证研究，探讨战略导向和创新能力对二元创新的影响机制，进而探究二元创新实现路径。从企业内部战略和能力层面、外部政策支撑体系方面提出二元创新实现的策略。预期研究成果有助于完善中国情境的创业与创新管理理论，为新创企业充分挖掘和利用二元创新驱动价值实现持续成长提供指导。

项目从二元创新角度针对新创企业如何摆脱高失败率和低成长率困境实现持续成长问题展开深入系统研究。依据企业成长理论和新创企业成长的具体实践，划分新创企业持续成长的阶段并提炼各阶段关键变量：创建阶段的机会识别与利用以及创业拼凑、立足阶段的技术与市场占位、拓展阶段成长极限的突破。通过理论和实证分析，揭示新创企业不同成长阶段二元创新模式以及驱动作用，创建阶段：利用式创新为主模式，利用式创新驱动作用更大；立足阶段：探索式创新为主模式，探索式创新驱动作用更大；拓展阶段：利用式创新与探索式创新平衡模式，二者驱动作用相当。紧密结合新创企业特点，构建了知识搜索为基础前提、知识重组与突变为深层根源、利用式和探索式创新为核心支撑、产品结构升级为显性表现、持续成长为最终目标的知识——二元创新——产品共同演化模型，通过理论和实证分析揭示了知识搜索对二元创新的影响机制，从知识角度阐明二元创新驱动持续成长的微观机理。识别和划分了新创企业战略导向的构成维度：技术导向、市场导向、创业导向、网络导向，创新能力的构成维度：技术能力、营销能力、网络能力、技术管理能力，通过理论和实证研究揭示各战略导向、各创新能力对二元创新的影响效应及其差异，揭示了各战略导向通过对应创新能力对二元创新的影响机制，明确了二元创新实现路径，比如先动型市场导向到技术能力再到产品创新的二元创新实现路径。结合揭示的二元创新实现路径，从战略导向强化和创新能力提升方面提出促进新创企业二元创新实现的具体策略。项目成果完善了中国情境的创业与创新管理理论，为新创企业充分挖掘和利用二元创新驱动价值实现持续成长提供指导。
