摘要/Abstract

摘要： 合作方技术获取对于企业绩效提高有重要的促进作用,而获取技术作为外部资源首先要通过吸收和利用过程转化为企业自身的能力才能促进企业的绩效提升。同时,在目前的转型经济背景下,商业和制度环境的不完善也提高了管理者社会资本在企业合作和资源获取过程中的重要性。但是,很少有从整合的视角对企业合作方技术获取、内部研发能力、管理者社会资本和企业绩效间的关系和作用路径的研究。论文建立实证模型整合并分析合作方技术获取对于企业绩效的作用路径和管理者社会资本对于合作方技术获取作用路径的影响机制。结果表明,合作方技术获取对于企业绩效的促进作用是通过企业内部研发能力的改进作为部分中介实现的;企业高层管理者商业联系有效提高了合作方技术获取对于内部研发能力的正向效果;而政治联系却降低了这一过程的效果。

Abstract: Technology acquisition (TA) from cooperative partners significantly facilitate the ennancement of firm performance, however, such effect only functions under the condition of absorbing and utilizing process. Currently, market mechanism of transition economy increases the importance of managerial ties on firm commercial operation activities, however, there is few researches focus on the functional mechanism of managerial ties on such route based on the integrate perspective, to solve that, the direct and indirect route of the relationship between TA from cooperative parthers and firm performance are empirically tested, moreover, the moderating effect of managerial ties on such route is also examined. The result indicates that internal R&D partially mediates the relationship between TA from cooperative parthers and firm performance, meanwhile business ties positively moderate the relationship between TA from cooperative parthers and internal R&D, however, political ties function in a reverse way.

Key words: technology acquisition from cooperative partner, internal R&D capability, firm performance, political tie, business tie
