摘要

本研究的目的是探讨中小企业如何利用创新框架的商业模式来强调三种类型的合作:“科学、技术和创新”(STI),“在做中学习、使用和互动”(DUI)-垂直和DUI-水平。本分析使用巴斯克地区838家中小企业(2018-2020年)的数据来评估三种类型的合作对生态创新的影响。作者采用基于倾向得分的方法来解决创新研究中与内生性相关的潜在偏差。研究结果表明,酒后驾车垂直合作与产品、工艺和营销生态创新的发展呈正相关。此外,dui -横向合作是中小企业最有效的合作模式,对其整体生态创新组合产生积极影响。最后,科技创新合作与产品生态创新呈正相关。政策制定者应该通过设计促进竞争企业之间的合作以刺激生态创新的方案来支持中小企业,但是必须解决潜在的合作挑战。中小企业的管理者不应采用通用的、一刀切的方法,而应根据其具体的生态创新目标确定最合适的合作伙伴,以确保更有效和有针对性。应该通过更有效地了解中小企业的需求来加强科学伙伴与中小企业之间的合作。独创性/价值这项研究有两方面的贡献。首先,研究了创新的STI和DUI模式是否是引入各类生态创新的决定因素。其次,作者通过区分DUI垂直(即供应商、客户和咨询公司)和DUI水平(即竞争对手)合作,从而突出了DUI合作形式的复杂性,从而对商业模式创新的文献做出了贡献。

Exploring the impact of collaboration on eco-innovation in SMEs: a contribution to the business modes of innovation framework

Purpose

The purpose of the study is to investigate how small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can effectively collaborate for eco-innovation using the business modes of innovation framework to emphasise three types of collaboration: “science, technology, and innovation” (STI), “learning by doing, using, and interacting” (DUI)-Vertical and DUI-Horizontal.

Design/methodology/approach

This analysis uses data from 838 SMEs in the Basque Country (2018–2020) to evaluate the effects of the three types of collaboration on eco-innovation. The authors employ a propensity score-based method to address potential bias associated with endogeneity in innovation studies.

Findings

The findings suggest that DUI-Vertical collaboration has a positive relationship with the development of product, process and marketing eco-innovation. Furthermore, DUI-horizontal collaboration is the most effective collaboration mode for SMEs, positively impacting their overall eco-innovation portfolio. Finally, STI collaboration is positively associated with product eco-innovation.

Practical implications

Policymakers should support SMEs by designing programmes that facilitate collaboration between competing firms to stimulate eco-innovation, but potential challenges of coopetition must be addressed. Rather than a generic, one-size-fit-all approach, SMEs' managers should identify the most appropriate partners corresponding to their specific eco-innovation goal, ensuring a more effective and targeted. Collaboration between science partners and SMEs should be reinforced by approximating the SMEs' needs more effectively.

Originality/value

This study contributes twofold. Firstly, the authors investigate whether the STI and DUI modes of innovation are determinant factors in the introduction of various types of eco-innovation. Secondly, the authors contribute to the literature on business modes of innovation by differentiating between DUI-Vertical (i.e. suppliers, customers and consultancy) and DUI-Horizontal (i.e. competitors) collaboration, thus highlighting the complexity of DUI collaboration forms.

期刊介绍: The subject of innovation is receiving increased interest both from companies because of their increased awareness of the impact of innovation in determining market success and also from the research community. Academics are increasingly beginning to place innovation as a priority area in their research agenda. This impetus has been partly fuelled by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) who have designated innovation as one of nine research areas in their research initiative schemes.
