摘要

开放式创新依赖于企业间的合作，然而冲突——无论是建设性的还是破坏性的——是合作动态中不可避免的一个方面。虽然合作在促进开放创新方面的作用已经确立，但冲突的影响仍未得到充分研究。本研究以理论见解为基础，探讨了建设性冲突和破坏性冲突对合作创新过程的不同影响。通过对中国186家产业集群企业的数据分析，我们发现建设性冲突虽然促进了观点的多样化，但却会转移管理资源和注意力，从而在不经意间削弱合作对开放式创新的积极作用。相反，破坏性冲突——通常被认为是有害的——出人意料地放大了合作对创新的影响，迫使企业重新评估和加强他们的伙伴关系。这些实证见解强调了冲突在开放式创新中的复杂和矛盾的作用，表明建设性和破坏性冲突都可以通过与合作的相互作用来塑造创新的成功。

Do conflicts in cooperation matter to open innovation? An empirical study of industrial clusters in China

Open innovation relies on inter-firm cooperation, yet conflict—both constructive and destructive—is an inevitable aspect of collaborative dynamics. While the role of cooperation in fostering open innovation is well-established, the influence of conflict remains underexamined. Grounded in theoretical insights, this study investigates the distinct effects of constructive and destructive conflict on the innovation process within cooperative efforts. Analyzing data from 186 firms in industrial clusters in China, our findings reveal that constructive conflict, despite promoting diverse perspectives, can inadvertently weaken the positive effects of cooperation on open innovation by diverting managerial resources and attention. Conversely, destructive conflict—typically perceived as harmful—unexpectedly amplifies the impact of cooperation on innovation by compelling firms to reassess and reinforce their partnerships. These empirical insights underscore the complex and paradoxical role of conflict in open innovation, demonstrating that both constructive and destructive conflict can shape innovation success through their interaction with cooperation.
