Abstract

Environmental scanning is an important way for firms to realize disruptive innovation. However, how environmental scanning impacts disruptive innovation is still unclear. Based on resource orchestration theory and foresight theory, this study divides environmental scanning into prospective scanning and responsive scanning according to scanning time, explores the relationship between two types of environmental scanning and disruptive innovation, and tests the mediating role of resource orchestration and the moderating role of environmental dynamism. The results based on 284 intelligent manufacturing firms show that there are inverted U‐shaped effects not only between prospective scanning and new‐market disruption but also between responsive scanning and low‐end market disruption. Resource orchestration plays a mediating role in the inverted U‐shaped relationships between prospective scanning and new‐market disruption, responsive scanning, and low‐end market disruption. Moreover, environmental dynamism moderates and steepens the inverted U‐shaped relationship between prospective scanning, responsive scanning, and resource orchestration, and the mediating effect of resource orchestration is also moderated by environmental dynamism. The results reveal that environmental scanning can help firms achieve disruptive innovation to a certain extent, and firms must be alert to the “overload trap.”

环境扫描、资源协调和颠覆性创新

环境扫描是企业实现颠覆性创新的重要途径。然而，环境扫描如何影响企业的颠覆性创新还不清楚。本研究以资源协调理论和前瞻理论为基础，将环境扫描按扫描时间分为前瞻性扫描和反应性扫描，探讨了两种环境扫描与颠覆性创新之间的关系，并检验了资源协调的中介作用和环境动态的调节作用。基于 284 家智能制造企业的研究结果表明，不仅前瞻性扫描与新市场破坏之间存在倒 U 型效应，而且反应性扫描与低端市场破坏之间也存在倒 U 型效应。在前瞻性扫描与新市场破坏、反应性扫描和低端市场破坏之间的倒 U 型关系中，资源协调起到了中介作用。此外，环境动态调节并陡化了前瞻性扫描、反应性扫描和资源协调之间的倒 U 型关系，而资源协调的中介效应也受到环境动态的调节。研究结果表明，环境扫描能在一定程度上帮助企业实现破坏性创新，企业必须警惕 "超载陷阱"。
