Abstract

ABSTRACT This research empirically tests the impact of CEO technical experience on corporate innovation. Using A-share listed manufacturing companies during 2009–2018 as a research sample, we find that CEO technical experience positively affects the innovation quality of enterprises, and the impact is reflected in the breakthrough, originality, and value of innovations. After subdividing the CEOs’ technical experiences, we find that the higher the level of technical experience, the stronger the improvement of enterprise innovation quality. Compared with local technical experience, overseas technical experience has a stronger role in promoting innovation quality, and compared with non-academic technical experience, academic technical experience has a stronger role in promoting the quality of innovation. Further research finds that CEO technical experience has a stronger effect on the innovation quality of state-owned enterprises than non-state-owned enterprises, and it has a more significant effect on the innovation quality of high-tech enterprises. The research provides insights for managers and policymakers in creating and implementing effective innovation strategies.

高管技术经验与企业创新质量:来自中国制造业上市公司的证据

本文实证检验了CEO技术经验对企业创新的影响。以2009-2018年A股制造业上市公司为研究样本，我们发现CEO技术经验对企业创新质量有正向影响，这种影响体现在创新的突破性、原创性和价值上。细分CEO的技术经验后，我们发现技术经验水平越高，企业创新质量的提高就越强。与本土技术经验相比，海外技术经验对创新质量的促进作用更强，与非学术技术经验相比学术技术经验对创新力量的促进作用更大。进一步研究发现，CEO技术经验对国有企业创新质量的影响比非国有企业更强，对高新技术企业创新质量影响更显著。该研究为管理者和决策者制定和实施有效的创新战略提供了见解。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
