【摘要】 竞合正在成为企业激进式创新的新驱动因素。从竞合视角出发检视了企业竞合关系对其激进式创新的影响，并结合知识基础观检验了知识耦合在企业竞合与激进式创新关系中的中介作用。将竞合关系分为横向竞合和纵向竞合，将知识耦合分为替代性知识耦合与互补性知识耦合。通过对342家企业的大样本问卷调查数据的实证分析发现，纵向竞合关系和横向竞合关系对企业激进式创新均有正向影响。在不同的竞合关系中，由于合作和竞争的强度不同，企业进行知识管理以实现企业激进式创新的机制也存在显著差异。在纵向竞合中，运用互补性知识耦合比替代性知识耦合能更好地提升企业激进式创新绩效；在横向竞合中，运用替代性知识耦合比互补性知识耦合能更好地提升企业激进式创新绩效。更多还原

【Abstract】 In the current environment of fierce business competition and external turbulence, in order to achieve the success of innovation activities, enterprises must constantly exchange energy with the external environment to realize the sharing and value realization of tangible and intangible resources. Promoting innovation through coopetition has become the norm in enterprises. The importance of coopetition—a paradoxical relationship between two or more actors, simultaneously involved in cooperative and competitive interactions —in fostering corporate innovation has long been a controversial topic, hampered in part by lack of empirical evidence. Although most prior studies have linked coopetition with corporate innovation, there is still a lack of research on whether and how it contributes to innovation. To fill the research gaps, this study aims to investigate the effects of enterprises’ coopetition relationships on radical innovation, and the mediating role of knowledge coupling.Most of the research in the past decade has mainly focused on the relationship between coopetition and innovation in the context of horizontal or vertical single-dimensional coopetition relationship. Based on previous research, the study centered on the integrated framework that incorporates vertical coopetition and horizontal coopetition relationship to account for radical innovation and explored the mediating roles of substitutive knowledge coupling and complementary knowledge coupling respectively. To empirically test the proposed model,regression analysis and bootstrapping methods with the survey data from 342 Chinese firms were used in this research.The results of the study indicated that both vertical coopetition and horizontal coopetition have a positive effect on enterprises’ radical innovation. Due to the different intensities of cooperation and competition in horizontal coopetition and vertical coopetition relationship, the mechanisms by which firms conduct knowledge management to promote innovation in these two relationships are also different. More specifically, achieving radical innovation in vertical coopetition through complementary knowledge coupling rather than substitutive knowledge coupling is more effective while in horizontal coopetition achieving radical innovation through substitutive knowledge coupling rather than complementary knowledge coupling is a faster and more effective path.This study examines the mediation effects of the focal firms’ substitutive knowledge coupling and complementary knowledge coupling on the vertical and horizontal coopetition relationships-radical innovation links from the perspective of knowledge-based view. Future research that is conducted on other mediating mechanisms of the relationship between horizontal and vertical competition and radical innovation would be preferable to provide a more comprehensive panorama and address the potential paths for enterprises’ innovation success. Furthermore,studies using samples from other countries except for China, using other methods to evaluate the outcome of coopetition or taking environmental factors into consideration are needed to test the generalizability of this research.Managers should be aware of the important roles that coopetition relationships play in fueling radical innovation, and manage knowledge coupling to promote enterprises’ radical innovation. Coopetition provides opportunities for enterprises to achieve fundamental innovation through the integration of resources and knowledge. Enterprises should become active players in coopetition and make full use of the opportunities. Moreover, they should acknowledge the differences between vertical coopetition and horizontal coopetition and excavate the different mechanisms by which they foster radical innovation respectively. Specifically, enterprises could update and iterate on their own knowledge base, and achieve a higher level of substitutive knowledge coupling to promote radical innovation in horizontal competition while they could reconstruct their knowledge base through the complementary knowledge coupling, and realizes radical innovation in vertical coopetition.更多还原
