内容简介:
As innovation is inherently risky and uncertain, it is common for firms to suspend or abandon new product/service development projects that cannot achieve pre-defined objectives. Multiple cases exist where firms have attempted to resume the development of an innovative product or service after previously suspending or abandoning it prior to completion. Research on this important innovation recycling activity is surprisingly scarce, despite its critical role in mitigating risk in the context of high environmental uncertainty. We draw our inferences from Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where innovation resources are relatively limited and environmental uncertainty and institutional voids prevail, a context that encourages the use of innovation recycling. This study examines how innovation recycling influences a firm’s innovation ability and the moderating impact of innovation sourcing modes using a knowledge-based view of the firm and arguments from transaction cost economics. We retrieved data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey and the Innovation Follow-up Survey of 1,076 firms located in eight SSA countries (Ghana, Malawi, Namibia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia) spanning from 2011 to 2014 to test our conceptual model. Our findings show that (1) innovation recycling has a positive influence on a firm’s innovation ability and (2) this relationship is moderated by different innovation sourcing modes. These findings enrich the theory and imply that firms operating in developing countries need to develop innovation recycling by focusing on sourcing knowledge within, rather than across, firm boundaries.
由于创新具有固有风险和不确定性，企业通常会暂停或放弃无法实现预定目标的新产品/服务开发项目。诸多案例显示，企业在完成以往暂停或放弃的创新产品或服务后，试图恢复其开发。尽管在高不确定性环境的背景下，这种重要的创新回收活动在降低风险方面发挥了关键作用，但相关研究却出奇地少。我们从撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)研究发现，在那里，创新资源相对有限，环境不确定性和制度空白普遍存在，这一背景鼓励使用创新回收。本研究基于企业知识观和交易成本经济学视角，探讨创新循环如何影响企业的创新能力，以及创新采购模式的调节作用。我们收集了2011年至2014年世界银行企业调查和创新后续调查的数据，这些数据来自八个SSA国家(加纳、马拉维、纳米比亚、南苏丹、苏丹、坦桑尼亚、乌干达和赞比亚)的1076家企业，以检验我们的概念模型。研究结果表明:(1)创新循环对企业创新能力有正向影响;(2)不同创新来源模式对这种关系有调节作用。这些发现丰富了现有理论，并认为在发展中国家经营的企业应通过专注于在企业内部而不是跨企业边界的采购知识来发展创新循环。
