【摘要】 集群企业是我国区域经济发展的重要载体和形式,但创新能力普遍不高。开放式创新理论认为增加企业的知识能有效地提高企业的创新能力,而企业的创新能力不仅要受到自身知识存量的影响,还受到外部知识的影响。因此在我国集群企业内部知识相对有限的情况下,如何搜寻外部知识成为我国集群企业增强创新能力的重要途径。对集群企业来说,外部知识可以分为本地知识和外地知识。学者们对集群企业应该关注哪种知识还存在很多争论。因此,本研究借用创新搜寻理论分析这两种知识对企业创新绩效的影响。搜寻的宽度和深度代表着企业的开放性,它们对集群企业创新绩效有着不同的作用机制。因此,同时分析搜寻的宽度和深度能更好的理解创新搜寻对集群企业创新的作用。但企业仅仅搜寻到知识还不够,还需要吸收能力来将这些知识转化成创新绩效。早期关于知识和企业创新的研究经常忽略吸收能力在其中发挥的作用,因而企业吸收能力的异质性很有可能就是学者们关于集群企业应该关注本地知识还是外地知识的分歧所在。因此,本文通过对知识基础观和集群创新理论文献的梳理,系统分析了本地知识和外地知识不同的知识属性和功能属性;创新性地将创新搜寻的地理维度和搜寻特征(宽度和深度)相结合,围绕着本地搜寻宽度、本地搜寻深度、外地搜寻宽度和外地搜寻深度同集群企业创新绩效的影响以及吸收能力对上述影响的调节作用进行分析。同时基于浙江省纺织集群和软件集群的115家企业的数据进行实证分析,研究发现本地搜寻宽度和本地搜寻深度同集群企业创新绩效呈倒U型关系,而外地搜寻宽度和外地搜寻深度同集群企业创新绩效没有关系。吸收能力对本地搜寻宽度和本地搜寻深度同集群企业创新绩效的关系不显著,而当企业吸收能力高时,外地搜寻宽度和外地搜寻深度同集群企业创新绩效呈正相关。

【Abstract】 Cluster firms are very important forms of regional economic in China. However, most of them lack the capability of innovation. Open Innovation Theory believe that knowledge can improve the innovation capability of firm. the innovation capability of firm is influenced by both the existing knowledge in the firm and knowledge from environment. On the condition of limited knowledge in the cluster firm in China, the search for the knowledge outside the firm is an important method to improve the innovation capability of cluster firm. At the same time, the difference of innovation performance among the cluster firms raised the attention of researchers and some of them believe that the difference of search strategy is the one reason of the difference of innovation performance of cluster firm. For the cluster firm, the knowledge outside the firm can be divided into local knowledge and distant knowledge. There is a fierce debate about which knowledge cluster firm should focus. The researchers support their standpoints from different perspectives; however, they have not analyzed the influence of local knowledge and distant knowledge on innovation performance of cluster firm at the same time.Hence, in this paper we use innovation search theory to analyze the impact of these two knowledge on the innovation performance of cluster firm. Breadth and depth of search represent the openness of firm and they have the different effect to the innovation performance of cluster firm. Hence, the influence of innovation search on innovation of cluster firm can be better understood with breadth and depth of search. However, only search the knowledge is not enough for cluster firms, they still need the absorptive capacity to transfer these knowledge to innovation performance. Little attention is paid to the role of absorptive capacity between the knowledge and innovation of firm in the early researches. But the heterogeneity of absorptive capacity of cluster firm is the reason of debate about the focus between local knowledge and distant knowledge. In this paper we try to use knowledge-based theory, cluster innovation theory and innovation search theory to explain the reason why there is difference of innovation performance among the cluster firms and analyze the influence of local knowledge and distant knowledge on innovation perfomance of cluster firm.In this paper, we reorganize the research about knowledge based theory of firm and cluster innovation theory, systematically analyze the knowledge characteristics and functional characteristics of local knowledge and distant knowledge. We also innovatively combine the depth and breadth of search with the spatial search; analyze the influence of local search breath, local search depth, distant search breath and distant search depth on innovation performance of cluster firm and the moderating effect of absorptive capacity.Based on the analysis of the data of115enterprises in the textile cluster and software cluster in Zhejiang province, we find local search breadth is curvilinearly (taking an inverted U-shape) related to innovative performance of cluster firm and local search depth is curvilinearly (taking an inverted U-shape) related to the innovative performance of cluster firm while distant search breadth is not significantly related to the innovative performance of cluster firm and distant search depth is not significantly related to the innovative performance of cluster firm. However, absorptive capacity doesn’t have the moderating effect on the relationship between local search breadth and the innovative performance of cluster firm and the relationship between local search depth and the innovative performance of cluster firm. Under the condition of high absorptive capacity, distant search breath is positively related with the innovative performance of cluster firm and distant search depth is positively related with the innovative performance of cluster firm.
