摘要

本研究针对新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)的突然爆发,对中国经济产生了前所未有的负面影响,企业受到的影响最大。企业的具体内部环境不同,这决定了它们应对疫情的能力,因此影响也可能有所不同。设计/方法/方法本文以中国上市公司为样本,考察疫情期间,先验数字技术对R&D(研究与开发)投资(资金和人员)与企业绩效之间关系的中介作用。然后引入企业规模和多元化作为调节变量,探讨数字技术的条件中介效应。研究结果表明,企业前期研发投入越高,其数字技术水平越高,对疫情的抵抗力越强。此外,与大型企业相比,小型企业对技术变革具有战略灵活性的优势,这有助于它们从数字化转型的研发活动中积累经验,从而减弱新冠肺炎对企业绩效的负面影响。结果还表明,数字技术在多元化企业研发投入与企业绩效之间的中介作用强于集中式企业。本研究构建了一个中介模型,揭示了研发投资通过数字技术影响企业绩效的过程机制。创新地引入企业规模和多元化作为情境因素,构建了有调节的中介模型,为理解企业内部因素对研发投入、数字化转型与企业绩效关系的影响开辟了新的视角。

Organizational resilience under COVID-19: the role of digital technology in R&D investment and performance
PurposeThis study aims at the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, which had an unprecedented negative impact on the Chinese economy, with firms being affected most. Firms differ in terms of their specific internal environment, shaping their ability to respond to the outbreak, so the impact may also vary.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper Chinese listed firms are selected as samples to investigate the mediating effect of prior digital technology on the relationship between R&D (research and development) investment (funds and staff) and firm performance during the epidemic. Firm size and diversification are then introduced as moderating variables to explore the conditional mediating effect of digital technology.FindingsThe results indicate that the higher the firm's prior R&D investment, the higher its digital technology level, and thus the stronger its resistance to the epidemic. Moreover, compared with large-scale firms, small-scale firms have the advantage of strategic flexibility to technological changes, which can help them accumulate experience from R&D activities for digital transformation, thus attenuating the negative impact of the COVID-19 on firm performance. Finally, the results also show that digital technology mediates more strongly between R&D investment and firm performance in diversified firms than in centralized firms.Originality/valueThe study builds a mediation model to reveal the process mechanism through which R&D investment affects firm performance via digital technology. Firm size and diversification are then innovatively introduced as situational factors to build the moderated mediation model, which opens up a new perspective for understanding the effect of firm internal factors on the relationship between R&D investment, digital transformation and firm performance.
