Abstract

The relationship between collaboration with competitors and goods innovation performance was investigated along with the moderating effect of the innovating firm's technological capability. The hypothesis that collaboration with competitors has an inverted U-shaped relationship with goods innovation performance was tested using data on new goods introductions from 749 Iranian firms. The results support the balance between competition and collaboration by confirming that collaboration with competitors contributes considerably to successful goods innovation. The positive influences of co-optation certainly seem consistent with the cooperative arguments that collaboration with competitors increases absorptive capacity, improves information exchange and facilitates joint problem solving. The results also show that unnecessary collaboration with competitors can have a negative influence on innovation performance, raising concerns about opportunistic exploitation. The results support the existence of a bell-shaped relationship between application and goods innovation performance. Technological capability and alliances with universities were shown to weaken the relationship.
竞争企业在研发活动中的合作动态考察(R&D合作竞争)
研究了竞争对手合作与产品创新绩效的关系,以及创新企业技术能力的调节作用。利用749家伊朗企业的新产品引进数据,对竞争对手合作与产品创新绩效呈倒u型关系的假设进行了检验。研究结果证实,与竞争对手的合作对成功的产品创新有很大贡献,从而支持了竞争与合作之间的平衡。合作的积极影响似乎与合作的论点一致,即与竞争对手的合作增加了吸收能力,改善了信息交流,促进了共同解决问题。研究结果还表明,与竞争对手的不必要合作会对创新绩效产生负面影响,引发对机会主义剥削的担忧。研究结果支持应用与产品创新绩效之间存在钟形关系。研究显示,技术能力和与大学的联盟削弱了这种关系。
