While the importance of innovation alliance for high-technological firms is well-documented, existing literature provides little guidance on the role of performance feedback in an alliance governance structure choice. Drawing on performance feedback theory, this study sheds light on the association between performance deviating (either above or below) from firms’ social aspirations and the governance structure choice of innovation alliances. Using an unbalanced panel of Chinese biopharmaceutical firms spanning from 2007 to 2020, we find that firms experiencing negative performance feedback prefer a non-equity innovation alliance structure, whereas those with positive performance feedback are more likely to adopt an equity one. The strength of these relationships is contingent on top management team average tenure and educational-level diversity. Our findings both provide theoretical and practical insights into guiding how firms under different states of performance feedback select alliance governance structures.

The innovation value of open government data (OGD) drives firms to the participation in OGD-driven innovation. However, to fully excavate the innovation value of OGD for firms, it is essential to explore the factors and mechanisms that affect OGD-driven innovation capacity. On the basis of the technology–organization–environment (TOE) framework, a theoretical model affecting OGD-driven innovation capacity is proposed for analysis by partial least squares structural equation modeling with 236 sample data from China. The results indicate that top leaders’ support positively impacts on OGD-driven innovation capacity in firms. And we also prove that technical competence, organizational arrangement, and innovation support partially mediate the relationship between top leaders’ support and OGD-driven innovation capacity on the basis of the TOE framework. Consequently, the findings provide new research perspectives and practical guidance for promoting OGD-driven innovation capacity in firms.
开放式政府数据(OGD)的创新价值促使企业参与OGD驱动的创新。然而,要充分挖掘OGD对企业的创新价值,必须探究影响OGD驱动创新能力的因素和机制。本文在技术-组织-环境(TOE)框架的基础上,提出了影响OGD驱动创新能力的理论模型,并利用中国236个样本数据,通过偏最小二乘法结构方程模型进行了分析。结果表明,高层领导的支持对企业的 OGD 驱动创新能力有积极影响。同时,我们还证明了技术能力、组织安排和创新支持在 TOE 框架的基础上对高层领导支持与 OGD 驱动创新能力之间的关系起到了部分中介作用。因此,研究结果为促进企业OGD驱动创新能力提供了新的研究视角和实践指导。

COVID-19 may not only pose threats but also provided opportunities for innovation and growth for many high-tech small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study investigates the relationship between entrepreneurial passion (EP), dynamic capability (DC) for innovation and product innovation performance in SMEs during COVID-19. Hierarchical regression and bootstrapping methods were employed per the survey data of 195 Chinese SMEs. The results reveal that EP is an imperative antecedent of DC and product innovation. DC also positively mediates the relationship between SMEs’ product innovation performance and top managers’ EP. In addition, this mediation effect of DC becomes more pronounced when firms are facing more opportunities. These findings advance the existing literature by specifying the process top managers use to cultivate product innovation within SMEs in times of crisis.
COVID-19 不仅可能对许多高科技中小型企业(SMEs)构成威胁,也可能为其提供创新和发展的机遇。本研究探讨了 COVID-19 期间中小企业的创业激情(EP)、创新动态能力(DC)与产品创新绩效之间的关系。在 195 家中国中小企业的调查数据中采用了层次回归法和引导法。结果表明,EP 是 DC 和产品创新的必要先决条件。同时,DC 也对中小企业产品创新绩效与高层管理者 EP 之间的关系起到了正向中介作用。此外,当企业面临更多机遇时,企业创新能力的中介效应会更加明显。这些发现明确了高层管理者在危机时期培养中小企业产品创新的过程,从而推动了现有文献的发展。
