国际合资企业IJVs的研发环境与产品创新：技术创新成果保护的调节作用

R D Environment and Product Innovation of IJVs in China: The Regulating Effect of the Protection of Technological Innovations

摘要:

目前成立在华国际合资企业是我国引进外商投资的重要途径之一。本文通过实证研究探究在华国际合资企业研发环境与其产品创新绩效之间的关系。研究结果显示,在华IJVs所处的研发环境中,政府支持、市场环境、知识环境以及市场对创新的需求都对产品创新绩效具有直接影响,基础设施与社会环境这一因素对在华IJVs产品创新的影响并不显著。研究还发现,在华国际合资企业采取技术创新成果的竞争性保护措施和法律保护措施均会对在华IJVs研发环境和产品创新之间的关系产生调节作用。

Abstract:

In recent years, the establishment of an international joint venture in China is one of the main ways to introduce foreign investment. This paper uses empirical research to explore the relationship between R D environment and product innovation performance of international joint ventures in China. The research results show that among the R D environment elements of China IJVs, government support, market environment, knowledge environment and market demand for innovation have a direct impact on product innovation performance. The impact of infrastructure and social environment on enterprise product innovation is not significant. This study also finds that the legal protection and competitive protection of technological innovations in China"s international joint ventures have a regulatory effect on the relationship between R D environment and product innovation.
