Abstract

The impact of digital transformation (DT) on open innovation (OI) has attracted growing interest. However, the nuanced effects of various forms of coupled OI on innovation outcomes remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate the differential impacts of coupled OI modes on innovation performance within the context of DT driven by Industry 4.0 technologies. To test the hypotheses, we used Heckman's two-stage estimation utilizing the Korean Innovation Survey 2022. The findings reveal that collaborative activities as coupled OI modes positively impact innovation performance. Furthermore, the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies amplifies the positive impact of research and development (R&D) collaborations on business process innovation while diminishing the positive effect of non-R&D collaborations on new product development. This study's contribution to the literature lies in its finding that the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies can only be beneficial to firms when DT guides the focal firm on being more cooperative in R&D collaboration activities and therefore helps focal firms to use innovation opportunities efficiently and more rapidly and to innovate diverse business processes. In practice, a firm should have sufficient capabilities to rigorously analyze DT-adoption data to capture market needs.

数字化转型何时有利于耦合开放式创新?采用工业 4.0 技术的偶然作用
数字化转型(DT)对开放式创新(OI)的影响已引起越来越多的关注。然而,各种形式的耦合开放式创新对创新成果的细微影响仍未得到充分探索。本研究旨在探讨在工业 4.0 技术驱动的数字化转型背景下,耦合开放式创新模式对创新绩效的不同影响。为了检验假设,我们利用韩国 2022 年创新调查,采用了赫克曼两阶段估计法。研究结果表明,协作活动作为耦合的开放式创新模式会对创新绩效产生积极影响。此外,工业 4.0 技术的采用扩大了研发合作对业务流程创新的积极影响,同时削弱了非研发合作对新产品开发的积极影响。本研究对相关文献的贡献在于,它发现只有当工业 4.0 技术引导重点企业在研发合作活动中加强合作,从而帮助重点企业更高效、更快速地利用创新机会,并进行多样化的业务流程创新时,工业 4.0 技术的采用才能给企业带来益处。在实践中,企业应具备足够的能力,严格分析 DT 采用数据,捕捉市场需求。

期刊介绍: The interdisciplinary journal Technovation covers various aspects of technological innovation, exploring processes, products, and social impacts. It examines innovation in both process and product realms, including social innovations like regulatory frameworks and non-economic benefits. Topics range from emerging trends and capital for development to managing technology-intensive ventures and innovation in organizations of different sizes. It also discusses organizational structures, investment strategies for science and technology enterprises, and the roles of technological innovators. Additionally, it addresses technology transfer between developing countries and innovation across enterprise, political, and economic systems.
