The Research On Realization Path Of Radical Innovation

Radical innovation is an innovation model with new products,production methods,and makes subversive transformation to the market or the industry.Radical innovation improves significantly product performance,reshapes market position of corporation,and it is an important foundation for enterprises to obtain and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage.18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed innovation-driven development strategy.In this context,corporates to carry out innovatiate activities are regard as an important cornerstone of the implementation of innovation-driven development.More and more corporates realizing that knowledge has become important basement to promote corporates' radical innovation.But recent research has know little about how knowledge transtlate into radical innovation and how a corporate make a knowledge search strategy.Accordingly,This arictle base on corporate social capital theory,knowledge-based theory,technological innovation theory and contingency theory,establishing concept mode of knowledge feature,corporate social capital and radical innovation and concept mode of knowledge search strategy,technical uncertainty and radical innovation.This dissertation takes 209 high-tech companies as samples,make empirical analysis.Innovative research findings include the following three aspects.First,knowledge is the basis for corporates to carry out radical innovation,but different characteristics of knowledge have different influence on radical innovation.Complex knowledge that include new ideas and new thought and relate to original innovation,can remarkable influence radical innovation.While tacit knowledge embedded in a specific situation,diffcult to be acquired and transformed,can not influence radical innovation.Second,the relation between corporates and external organization constitutes the social network.Corporate social capital has multiple dimensions,which include structure dimension,cognitive dimension and relation dimension,and these dimensions constitute heterogeneity of the corporate social capital.Different dimensions of social capital have significant influence on radical innovation.But different dimensions of social capital have different regulating effects on the relationship between knowledge characteristics and radical innovation.Structure dimension of social capital has positive effects on the relationship between tacit knowledge and radical innovation.Cognitive dimension of social capital has positive effects on the relationship between complexity knowledge and radical innovation.Thirdly,the external knowledge is embedded in different knowledge source or channels,so corporates need to establish a suitable search strategy to effectively acquire external knowledge.Search depth strategy significantly affects the radical innovation.While search breadth strategy can not influence radical innovation.Furthermore,technical uncertainty has different regulating effects on the relationship between knowledge search strategy and radical innovation.More specifically,technical uncertainty has negative effects on the relationship between search breadth and radical innovation and positive effects on the relationship between search depth and radical innovation.In the background of Chinese localization data,we research the realization path of radical innovation.That is the internal mechanism of the transformation of different characteristic knowledge into the radical innovation and how enterprises' knowledge search strategies are established,and the corporate social capital theory,knowledge-based theory,technological innovation theory and contingency theory have been enriched,and provide useful theory and practice guidance for Chinese high-tech enterprises.
