How Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Achieve Radical Innovation:Mechanism Research of Leading Users and Generative Capability
摘要
Abstract
High-quality innovation is an important support for improving enterprises and countries'core competitiveness.Enterprises urgently need to further improve the quality of innovation activities through breakthrough innovation,to continuously create core compet-itiveness.Due to high R&D investment and uncertainty,as well as longer R&D cycles,breakthrough innovation often occurs in indus-try-leading enterprises with abundant innovation resources and suitable innovation environments.Previous literature indicates that firms without competitive advantage have high aspirations to develop radical innovation and achieve great innovation performance.However,how the firms without competitive advantage develop radical innovation,and what kind of innovation capability is essential for these firms to develop radical innovation are unclear.The complex relationship between innovation capability and radical innovation for firms without competitive advantage should be discussed.In response to these research gaps,this paper uses generative capability as a key variable and proposes a theoretical model to explain the effect of generative capability during the development process of radical innova-tion.The empirical analysis of survey data comes from a sample of 211 firms in China.Our results reveal that both leading users and creative imitation have a significant effect on improving generative capability.On the one hand,generative capability has a direct effect on developing radical innovation.On the other hand,generative capability also has a mediate effect on developing radical innovation.Generative capability can mediate the relationship between lead users and radical innovation,it also can mediate the relationship be-tween creative imitation and radical innovation.Furthermore,the mediate effect of generative capability on the relationship between creative imitation and radical innovation will be weakened by market turbulence.关键词
