Abstract

Open innovation is crucial for achieving high-quality and sustainable business growth. However, it remains unclear how prospective boundary-spanning search and responsive boundary-spanning search impact organizational resilience and open innovation in the VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) new normal. Based on the resource-based theory and dynamic capabilities theory, this paper classifies boundary-spanning search into prospective boundary-spanning search and responsive boundary-spanning search to investigates the impact on open innovation and organizational resilience, and analyze the moderating role of big data analytics capability. The empirical study of 293 Chinese smart manufacturing firms indicates that both prospective and responsive boundary-spanning search have an inverted U-shaped impact on open innovation and organizational resilience. Organizational resilience partially mediates the relationships between prospective boundary-spanning search, responsive boundary-spanning search, and open innovation. Moreover, big data analytics capability moderates and flattens the inverted U-shaped relationships between prospective and responsive boundary-spanning search, and organizational resilience. This study explores the intrinsic mechanism of prospective and responsive boundary-spanning search on open innovation through organizational resilience. The findings enrich and expand the research on the antecedents of open innovation.

中国双跨界搜索与开放式创新：组织弹性的中介作用和大数据分析能力的调节作用

开放式创新对于实现高质量和可持续的业务增长至关重要。然而，在VUCA（波动性、不确定性、复杂性和模糊性）新常态下，前瞻性跨边界搜索和响应性跨边界搜索如何影响组织弹性和开放式创新尚不清楚。基于资源基础理论和动态能力理论，本文将跨边界搜索分为前瞻性跨边界搜索和响应性跨边界搜索，研究了跨边界搜索对开放式创新和组织弹性的影响，并分析了大数据分析能力的调节作用。对293家中国智能制造企业的实证研究表明，前瞻性和响应性跨边界搜索对开放式创新和组织弹性都有倒u型影响。组织弹性在前瞻性跨界搜索、响应性跨界搜索和开放式创新之间的关系中起部分中介作用。此外，大数据分析能力调节和扁平化了前瞻性和响应性跨界搜索与组织弹性之间的倒u型关系。本研究通过组织弹性探讨开放性创新中前瞻性和响应性跨界搜索的内在机制。研究结果丰富和拓展了开放式创新前因的研究。

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.
