Abstract

This study develops a comprehensive four-factor model to analyze the factors that influence knowledge agglomeration. To test the model empirically, we use a dataset from firms in China’s digital industry and employ the structural equation model and RM-DEMATEL method to determine the relationship between these factors and their impact on knowledge agglomeration. We find that effectiveness, coupling, and talent synergy have significant positive impact on knowledge agglomeration. Instead, knowledge concentration has an inverted U-shaped relationship with knowledge agglomeration. In addition, knowledge concentration moderates the relationship between knowledge effectiveness, coupling, talent synergy, and knowledge agglomeration. Based on these findings, we construct a multi-dimensional indicator system that allows us to assess more extensively the roles of those factors, we find that knowledge concentration is a fundamental factor in this system. The density and speed of concentration and knowledge causality also play important roles. Our findings offer a theoretical framework for firms in developing their knowledge management strategies.

知识集聚的四要素模型

本研究建立了一个综合的四因素模型来分析影响知识集聚的因素。为了对模型进行实证检验，本文利用中国数字产业企业数据集，采用结构方程模型和RM-DEMATEL方法确定了这些因素之间的关系及其对知识集聚的影响。研究发现，效率、耦合和人才协同对知识集聚有显著的正向影响。相反，知识集中度与知识集聚呈倒u型关系。此外，知识集中度对知识有效性、耦合、人才协同和知识集聚之间的关系具有调节作用。在此基础上，我们构建了一个多维度的指标体系，使我们能够更广泛地评估这些因素的作用，我们发现知识集中度是这个体系的基础因素。集中的密度和速度以及知识的因果关系也起着重要作用。我们的研究结果为企业制定知识管理战略提供了理论框架。

期刊介绍： The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include: Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries. Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region. Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
