文化嵌入与集群企业创新倾向的关系及其关联机理研究——战略意图的中介效应检验

在集群企业开展创新活动的过程中,有些集群企业倾向于渐进性创新,而有些则更倾向于突破性创新.研究发现文化嵌入对上述集群企业的创新倾向有显著的影响.其中,个体主义和男性主义等文化嵌入明显的集群企业更具有突破性创新倾向,而权力距离和不确定性规避等文化嵌入明显的集群企业则更倾向于渐进性创新.战略意图对文化嵌入与集群企业创新倾向的关系具有中介性作用,个体主义和男性主义等文化嵌入程度深的集群企业其战略意图更具有进取性,在创新过程中更倾向于突破性创新,而权力距离和不确定性规避等文化嵌入程度明显的集群企业其战略意图相对较弱,在创新过程中更倾向于进行渐进性创新.

The relationship and correlated mechanism of cultural embeddedness and innovation propensity of clustered firms: The mediation role of strategic intent

Cultural embeddedness has a strong impact on innovation propensity of clustered firms.The clustered firms who are embedded in individualism and masculine are more likely to be involved in radical innovation, while those are embedded in power distance and uncertainty avoidance are more likely to be involved in incremental innovation.Strategic intent is directly related to innovation propensity of clustered firms, which means the stronger the clustered firm''s strategic intent is, the more likely to be involved in radical innovation, and vice versa.Besides, strategic intent is influenced by cultural embeddedness.Deeply embedded in individualism and masculine contributes to strong strategic intent, while deeply embedded in power distance and uncertainty avoidance results in weak strategic intent.The empirical research shows strategic intent plays partial mediation role between cultural embeddedness and innovation propensity of clustered firms.
