多维知识吸收与企业创新关系的元分析

A Meta-analysis of the Relationship between Multidimensional Knowledge Absorption and Enterprise Innovation

摘要:

运用元分析方法，基于178篇实证文献，考察了多维知识吸收与企业创新的相关性。结果表明：多维知识吸收与企业创新有较强的正相关关系；较之其它创新层面，多维知识吸收与创新能力相关性更强；吸收资源、过程和能力均与企业创新正相关，且较之静态知识吸收，动态知识吸收与企业创新相关性更强；文化背景、行业性质、测量方式均能正向调节多维知识吸收与企业创新整体关系，而在多维知识吸收与具体创新层面关系上表现不一。结论丰富了现有理论成果，同时也为企业灵活利用多维知识吸收，以提高企业创新效率和水平提供了管理依据。

Abstract:

Based on 178 empirical literatures, this paper uses meta-analysis to examine the correlation between multidimensional knowledge absorption (MKA) and enterprise innovation (EI). The results show that MKA is positively related to EI, and compared with other innovation layers, MKA and innovation capabilities are more relevant. We find that three dimensions of MKA are all positively related to EI. Moreover, compared to static KA, dynamic KA is more relevant to EI. Besides, all of moderators (cultural background, industry nature, and measurement methods) we chose can positively moderate the relationship between MKA and EI, and their effects is very different in the relationship between MKA and specific innovation layers. The conclusions enrich the existing theoretical findings, and provide management basis for enterprises to flexibly utilize MKA to improve the efficiency and level of EI.
