摘要
“专精特新”企业高度聚焦某一细分市场并形成独特竞争优势,却也因细分市场容量有限而导致专业化“锁定”问题。该类企业如何基于既有优势搜寻创新机会来突破发展瓶颈?这一问题仍未得到充分的理论解释。本文基于创新搜寻视角,选取四家“专精特新”企业进行多案例比较研究,探索该类企业通过创新搜寻突破专业化“锁定”的机制。研究发现:第一,创新搜寻成为“专精特新”企业突破专业化“锁定”困境的逻辑起点,呈现组合性、异质性、合作性特征。第二,面对资源有限性约束,“专精特新”企业通过“资源借力”和“资源放大”等杠杆化行动聚合力量,助推创新搜寻方案落地。第三,基于研发与需求的平衡策略是“专精特新”企业突破困境的重要路径,包括需求拉动研发、研发推动需求、研发与需求双向驱动三类。本文拓宽了创新搜寻理论的解释边界,为“专精特新”企业突破专业化“锁定”的研究提供了独特的理论视角,也具有较强的实践指导价值。
“SRDI”(specialized-refinement-differential-innovation)enterprises highly focus on a market segment to form a unique competitive advantage,but also face the problem of specialization“lock-in”caused by the limited capacity of the market segment.How such enterprises search for innovation opportunities based on their existing advantages to break through the development bottleneck is still not fully explained.Based on the perspective of innovation search,this paper selects four“SRDI”enterprises to conduct a multi-case comparative study,and explores the mechanism by which these enterprises break through the dilemma of specialization“lock-in”through innovation search.The findings of this paper are as follows:First,innovation search becomes the logical starting point for“SRDI”enterprises to break through the dilemma of specialization“lock-in”,showing the characteristics of combination,heterogeneity,and cooperation.Based on the differences in innovation search behaviors of“SRDI”enterprises,their search behaviors can be summarized as responsive,forward-looking,and integrated.Second,faced with the limitation of resources,“SRDI”enterprises aggregate their strength through the leverage actions of“resource borrowing”and“resource amplification”to promote the implementation of innovation search solutions.Due to the lack of internal scientific research force or the lack of key resources,enterprises can boost their development by borrowing external resources.Resource amplification emphasizes not only the deep and efficient utilization of key resources,but also the synergistic effect formed by resource combination.With the help of resource leverage and amplification mechanism,the leverage effect of“SRDI”enterprises presents linkage,extension,and diffusion.Third,the balance strategy based on R&D and demand is an important path for“SRDI”enterprises to break through the dilemma,including three categories:demand driving R&D,R&D driving demand,R&D and demand driving both ways.In the proces
