網絡特性對創新能力與績效之影響

The Impact of Network Characters on Innovative Capability and Performance

本文探討不同的網絡特性對探索型創新與應用型創新能力之影響，強調網絡內的廠商可利用不同層級的網絡特性以累積及獲取網絡資源與知識，藉以提升探索型與應用型創新能力，進而提升其組織績效。本文以高科技產業及其網絡之製造商為研究對象，發現網絡中心性與及結構自主性會正向影響廠商的探索型創新能力；網絡多重性與穩定性會正向影響廠商的應用型創新能力；探索型創新與應用型創新能力對績效皆有正向影響。最後，根據研究結論提出管理意涵及未來研究方向。

In this paper, we adopt network characters influences on exploitative and explorative innovation capabilities. Moreover, we emphasize that firms can utilize different network-level properties to obtain and accumulate resources and knowledge from the network which they are embedded in for enhancing innovation capabilities and performances. We use manufacturers from the high-tech industries and network as research targets, and find that the network centrality and structural autonomy positively influence a firm’s explorative innovation capability; the multiplexity and stability positively influences a firm’s exploitative innovation capability; explorative innovation and exploitative innovation capabilities both positively influences performance. Finally, according to the results, the managerial implication and future research directions are discussed.
