Research On The Influence Of R&D Internationalization Of Chinese Household Appliance Enterprises On Innovation Performance

Under the background of competition globalization,the improvement of innovation ability has important significance to the international competitiveness of enterprises.Through research and development internationalization,enterprises can use human resources,material resources and knowledge of each country to improve their innovation performance.With the development of emerging countries,the research objects of R&D internationalization have gradually shifted from developed countries to emerging countries.Household appliance is the application carrier of modern science and technology in life,and household appliance enterprises need to accelerate the pace of innovation-driven transformation.Because of the late starting point of R&D internationalization,Chinese household appliance enterprises have insufficient international experience,and there is a gap between them and developed-country enterprises although they pay more attention to R&D and innovation issues,.There are still some problems in effectively improving innovation performance.Based on domestic and foreign literature and related theories,this thesis combines empirical research and case analysis to explore R&D internationalization and innovation performance of Chinese household appliance enterprises.First of all,this thesis selects the data of Chinese household appliance listed enterprises from 2009 to 2017,and uses the negative binomial panel fixed effect model to analyze how R&D internationalization affects the innovation performance.Then,this thesis introduces Haier to conduct case analysis to study what kind of entry mode should be adopted by enterprises and how to choose the location of overseas R&D activities with the depth and breadth of R&D internationalization increasing.After that,it summarizes the organizational management adopted by enterprises in the different stages of R&D internationalization to effectively improve the innovation performance.It is found that the depth and breadth of R&D internationalization have a positive impact on the innovation performance of enterprises.In other words,the more R&D activities carried out by enterprises overseas,the more host countries involved in the activities,the more opportunities enterprises may have to learn external knowledge and the external knowledge of contact is more diverse,which promotes the research and development of new products;In the initial exploration stage of R&D internationalization,because of enterprises’ weak technology and insufficient international experience,technical cooperation with developed country enterprises is the best choice for improving innovation performance.In the rapid development stage of R&D internationalization,it is the best choice for enterprises to set up R&D institutions or acquire related enterprises in developed countries and set up R&D institutions in developing countries with high market potential.According to the above research conclusions,this thesis proposes the following countermeasures for the improvement of innovation performance of Chinese household appliance enterprises from the perspective of enterprises and governments: From the enterprise level,Chinese household enterprises should actively carry out research and development internationalization,flexibly choose the entry mode and rationally arrange overseas R&D activities;From the government level,Chinese government should improve overseas R&D support policies,improve laws and regulations for foreign investment and create a good environment for innovation.
