高端装备制造企业效率及其与绩效关系的研究

为探究高端装备制造企业效率水平,及控制变量影响下效率与绩效的关系,采用DEA-Malmquist指数以及面板数据模型对沪市高端装备制造企业2008~2016年的数据进行了分析。研究发现：高端装备制造企业平均技术效率水平不高;规模效率变动水平较高,技术效率变动较低主要受纯技术效率变动较低的影响,技术变动呈现波动增长;企业纯技术效率、规模效率与企业绩效存在显著的正向联系,未能证实技术变动对绩效的正向显著影响。

基于知识协同的联盟企业创新绩效系统动力学模型构建与分析

为了了解知识协同与联盟企业创新绩效的因果关系,设计并构建基于知识协同下的联盟企业创新绩效系统动力学模型进行分析。结果表明,所构建的系统动力学模型有效,仿真结果能够较好地模拟基于知识协同的联盟企业创新绩效的实际状况;对于联盟企业而言,知识协同对其创新绩效具有良好的促进作用;其中,知识协同的3因素,即知识活动协同、知识互惠协同及交流研习均对增加联盟企业创新绩效具有重要的推动作用;但由于受内外部多因素影响,知识协同对联盟企业创新绩效的作用不能立刻显现,随着联盟时间的延长,企业创新绩效的提升速度呈现逐渐上升趋势。     

Agglomeration Economies,Firms' Spatial Organization and Innovation Performance: Some Evidence from the French Industry

There is a consensus in economic geography concerning the positive influence of agglomeration economies on innovation. Usually this is captured through the type of area in which a firm's head office (HO) of the firm is located. But the location of the firm's other units could also have an impact on innovation. This article proposes to construct different spatial profiles of firms, based on the location of their HOs and other units in three distinct types of areas, defined according to their degree of agglomeration. The influence of these firms' spatial profiles on their propensity to innovate and innovation intensity is estimated, controlling for other determinants related to structural characteristics, the firms' relations with outsiders and with their competitive environment. This study uses a sample representative of the French manufacturing firms for the year 2006. The econometric results show various effects of multi-location on firms' innovation and highlight the importance of the units in the overall technological dynamic of firms.     

High-tech entrepreneurial firms’ innovation in different institutional settings. Do venture capital and private equity have complementary or substitute effects?

ABSTRACT

The paper explores whether venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) investments have complementary or substitute effects on innovation in high-tech entrepreneurial firms in different institutional settings, focusing on different levels of capital market development, entrepreneurial culture, and intellectual property rights protection. Using a panel sample of 326 firms from 12 EU countries observed from 2009–2013, the empirical results show that the VC/PE effect on high-tech entrepreneurial firms’ innovation is stronger in countries with a less-developed capital market. This suggests that VC/PE investments play a substitute role. A partial substitute role of VC/PE is also detected in firms located in countries with a low entrepreneurial culture. However, no significant evidence emerged regarding the level of protection of intellectual property rights. The results are generally robust to various econometric specifications. The implications of the resulting framework, the study’s limitations, and opportunities for further research are also discussed.     

The effect of industry leaders’ exploratory innovation on competitor performance

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the effect of an industry leader’s exploratory innovation, defined as the innovation embodying novel knowledge relative to the firm’s extant knowledge, on the performance of its direct competitors. We argue that an industry leader’s exploratory innovation can benefit its competitors, resulting in an average increase in competitors’ sales. The benefit can come from advantageous inter-industry structure, higher perceived status through association, and expanded knowledge pool. The extent of benefit, however, is conditional on the number of competitors in the industry as well as the level of competitors' financial slack and Return on Assets (ROA). Using data on the U.S. computer sector, we find support for our hypotheses. This study suggests that while an industry leader’s exploratory innovation is intended to further its own interests, it also affects the plight of its direct competitors.     

Research,development and growth in state-owned enterprises: empirical evidence from Ecuador

ABSTRACT

Investment in R&D is essential for the survival and growth of organizations. Recent literature has focused on the study of effects of R&D on the growth of private companies. However, there is no research studying the effects of R&D on the growth of Latin American public companies. This paper estimates, using an endogenous growth model, the effect of investments in R&D on sales growth in public enterprises of Ecuador. Data corresponding to a sample of 86 public companies have been taken from the Survey of Activities of Science and Technology (ACTI) of Ecuador for the period 2012 to 2014. These data are estimated by OLS. The results show that there is a statistically significant positive relation between investment in research and development and the growth of sales in public companies.     

Spaces of the possible: universal Darwinism and the wall between technological and biological innovation

Innovations in biological evolution and in technology have many common features. Some of them involve similar processes, such as trial and error and horizontal information transfer. Others describe analogous outcomes such as multiple independent origins of similar innovations. Yet others display similar temporal patterns such as episodic bursts of change separated by periods of stasis. We review nine such commonalities, and propose that the mathematical concept of a space of innovations, discoveries or designs can help explain them. This concept can also help demolish a persistent conceptual wall between technological and biological innovation.     

From the primordial soup to self-driving cars: standards and their role in natural and technological innovation

Standards are specifications to which the elements of a technology must conform. Here, we apply this notion to the biochemical ‘technologies'' of nature, where objects like DNA and proteins, as well as processes like the regulation of gene activity are highly standardized. We introduce the concept of standards with multiple examples, ranging from the ancient genetic material RNA, to Palaeolithic stone axes, and digital electronics, and we discuss common ways in which standards emerge in nature and technology. We then focus on the question of how standards can facilitate technological and biological innovation. Innovation-enhancing standards include those of proteins and digital electronics. They share common features, such as that few standardized building blocks can be combined through standard interfaces to create myriad useful objects or processes. We argue that such features will also characterize the most innovation-enhancing standards of future technologies.
