摘要
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。
Fueling SMEs’ product innovation through entrepreneurial passion during COVID-19: The role of dynamic capability and environmental opportunities
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.
