Interorganizational Knowledge Flows in Academia–Industry Collaboration: The Economic Impacts of Science-Based Firm Innovation
研究了产学研合作中跨组织知识流动对科学型企业创新经济影响的双刃剑效应,发现直接来自研究机构的知识提升创新经济影响,而通过研究机构间接来自其他企业的知识则降低影响,并探讨了企业技术原创性和通用性的调节作用。
We investigate the double-edged impacts of interorganizational knowledge flows in academia–industry collaboration on the innovation economic impacts of science-based firms. When a firm receives knowledge <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">directly</i> from more research institutes, its innovation economic impact improves subsequently. In contrast, when a firm receives knowledge <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">indirectly</i> from other firms through a research institute, its innovation economic impact declines subsequently. We also explore the moderation effects of firm technological originality and generality. We report empirical findings from a panel data of science-based firms in the United States. Our analysis yields theoretical implications for academia–industry collaborations in the science-based entrepreneurship literature and practical implications for management practitioners and policymakers in science-based firm creation and development.
