整合能力与企业绩效：商业模式创新的中介作用

经济全球化的背景下，企业为了构建竞争优势，获取更好的绩效，开始利用整合能力和商业模式创新应对多变的外部环境。然而，当前研究对于两者之间存在何种联系的认识是模糊的。针对理论研究的缺陷，基于动态能力的理论视角，通过分析商业模式创新对整合能力与企业绩效的中介作用，揭示企业整合能力和商业模式创新促进企业绩效提高的内在机制，采用中国6省1市319个企业样本数据，运用线性回归的统计方法对理论假设进行实证检验。研究结果表明，整合能力和商业模式创新都对企业绩效具有正向的促进作用，同时整合能力与企业绩效之间存在着一定的中间机制。整合能力通过提高组织变革和价值创造效率两个方面促进商业模式创新，而商业模式创新作为中间纽带将整合能力与企业绩效联系起来。企业的整合能力越高，越有利于开展商业模式创新，进而促进企业绩效的提高。研究揭示了整合能力和商业模式创新共同促进企业绩效提高的内在理论机制，打开了能力与绩效间关系的“黑箱”，对于中国企业开展商业模式创新具有重要的实践指导意义。

Integrative Capability and Firm Performance: The Mediating Effect of Business Model Innovation

Under the background of economic globalization, enterprises are facing a highly dynamic and uncertain situation from the external business and operation environment. Recent strategic management research has paid more attention to how firms improve performance in the highly uncertain market.There are two streams to explain this issue. One stream emphasizes the effects of integrative capability on firm performance from the perspective of dynamic capability. The other stream focuses on business model innovation. Some scholars have suggested that business model innovation is a key to firm performance. More and more enterprises also begin to use integrative capability and business model innovation to respond to changing external environment to build competitive advantage and obtain better performance. However, it is still unclear in regard to their relationship in current research.In the light of theoretical gap, from the perspective of dynamic capability, this study analyzes the mediating effects of business model innovation that connects integrative capability and firm performance, and reveals the internal mechanism between integrative capability and business model innovation to improve firm performance using 319 valid sample data from six provinces and one Chinese city in 2011. The empirical results showed that three hypotheses proposed in this study received full support and validated the theoretical model presented in our research.The results of linear regression suggest that integrative capability and business model innovation positively affect firm performance. As the effects of integrative capability on firm performance are not direct and need some intermediary mechanism, we test the mediating effects of business model innovation following strict and standard analysis procedure. We find that integrative capability will enhance the effectiveness of organizational change and value creation, which is the base of the implementation of business model innovation. As an intermediary, business model innovation can effectively link integrative capability and firm performance. The higher the enterprise owns integrative capability, the better it implements business model innovation, and it can acquire higher firm performance correspondingly.The main theoretical contribution of our study is that we reveals the question that how integrative capability and business model innovation interact to promote the improvement of firm performance. As an intermediary, business model innovation connects integrative capability and firm performance and reveals the black box between organizational capability and performance, which has an important guiding significance for Chinese enterprises to carry out the business model innovation. Theoretical limitations and future research are also discussed in the end.
