基于知识整合的企业产品创新研究

在超竞争环境下,企业产品创新的企业知识要素具有高度的分散性、默会性和复杂性。产品创新所需要的知识往往超越了一个企业的能力范围,需要具备获取外部知识和综合内部知识的知识整合能力。成功的产品创新所需要的知识应被视为一个整体,而不是被组织边界分割的部分,产品创新是通过整合不同组织的知识而产生新知识来实现产品创新。整合专门知识、专业技术和其他资源是产品革新的本质。企业产品创新中的知识整合能力、整合方式以及外部整合与内部整合,共同构成了基于知识整合的企业产品创新范式。企业产品创新是在企业知识整合能力基础上,运用有效的整合方式,通过对知识要素的外部整合和内部整合,把各种创新的组分知识转变为结构化的知识体系,并以此作为产品创新的知识平台。

Research on Firm Product Innovation Based on Knowledge Integration

Dispersion,tacitness and complexity are primary characteristics of Knowledge in firm product innovation under hyper-competition circumstance.The knowledge of product innovation today goes beyond what a single firm can afford.The firms should have knowledge disposing competency with two dimensions: the ability to import external knowledge and the ability to synthesize internal knowledge.Knowledge of product innovation should not be treated as organization boundary but as an integrated system.So product innovation is the course of integrating the different organization knowledge to produce new knowledge.The essence of product innovation is to integrate a series of knowledge and other resource.So this paper develops a new paradigm of firm product innovation based on knowledge integration which includes integration capabilities, integration approaches,inner integration and external integration.The product innovation of modern firm should transfer component knowledge from different locations,specialties and states into architectural knowledge,so as to form knowledge infrastructure of product innovation.
