Abstract

ABSTRACT Technology mergers and acquisitions are some of the most important ways to introduce technology into a company. The study reveals the impact of technology mergers and acquisitions on the innovation capability of core developers in construction companies. Among core developers are those who have deep professional knowledge accumulation and strong ability to digest and innovate external knowledge. The social network analysis method is used to measure the relevant indicators of the core Research and Development (R&D) personnel cooperation network. Bridge Group Co Ltd with Chongqing Beixin Yuchang Expressway Construction Co Ltd are used as examples where the changes in the network structure before and after the merger were investigated using quantitative analysis. These changes were investigated from two perspectives: the individual center cooperation network and the overall cooperation network of core R&D personnel. The results show that the density and centrality indicators of the core developers’ cooperation network have a positive effect on their innovation capability after the merger whereas the structural hole indicators have a negative effect on their innovation. The study broadens the thinking of social networks in the field of technology Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and provides directions for enhancing the innovation capability of core developers, as well as serving as a theoretical guide and reference for M&A activities in the construction industry.

技术并购对建筑企业核心开发商创新能力的影响分析

技术并购是将技术引入公司的一种重要方式。研究揭示了技术并购对建筑企业核心开发者创新能力的影响。核心开发人员具有深厚的专业知识积累和较强的外部知识消化和创新能力。运用社会网络分析法对核心研发人员合作网络的相关指标进行测度。以中桥集团有限公司和重庆北信渝长高速公路建设有限公司为例，采用定量分析的方法，考察了两家公司合并前后网络结构的变化。本文从个体中心合作网络和核心研发人员整体合作网络两个角度对这些变化进行了研究。结果表明，核心开发者合作网络的密度和中心性指标对核心开发者并购后的创新能力有正向影响，而结构空洞指标对核心开发者并购后的创新能力有负向影响。本研究拓宽了社交网络在技术并购领域的思维，为核心开发者的创新能力提升提供了方向，同时也为建筑行业的技术并购活动提供了理论指导和参考。
