Abstract

Complex products and systems (CoPS) development demands effective risk management, which is frequently impeded by a lack of clarity regarding the impact of risks on performance. This study aims to investigate how multiple risks jointly affect innovation performance in CoPS projects. Based on the configurational theory and WSR framework, we use fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) with data from 97 CoPS projects and examine the combined effects of risks on innovation performance. We identify two types leading to high innovation performance and four patterns causing low innovation performance. The results verify the asymmetrical causality of the influence of risks on innovation performance in CoPS projects. The findings contribute to broadening the relationship studies of risk and innovation performance by adopting an empirical method in the context of CoPS. Moreover, our study can help managers implement flexible risk management activities within CoPS projects, by addressing several equivalent and distinctive paths.

复杂产品系统开发的配置风险和创新绩效：FsQCA 透视

复杂产品和系统（CoPS）的开发需要有效的风险管理，但由于缺乏对风险对绩效影响的清晰认识，风险管理经常受到阻碍。本研究旨在探讨多种风险如何共同影响 CoPS 项目的创新绩效。基于配置理论和 WSR 框架，我们利用来自 97 个 CoPS 项目的数据，采用模糊集定性比较分析法（fsQCA），研究了风险对创新绩效的综合影响。我们确定了导致高创新绩效的两种类型和导致低创新绩效的四种模式。结果验证了 CoPS 项目中风险对创新绩效影响的非对称因果关系。研究结果有助于在 CoPS 的背景下采用实证方法拓宽风险与创新绩效的关系研究。此外，我们的研究还可以帮助管理者在 CoPS 项目中实施灵活的风险管理活动，解决几个等价和独特的路径问题。
