| The high-speed growth of China’s large-scale new economy indicates that innovation has become the most important economic growth pole.The study aims to explore the structure of the path to innovation,in which we focus on the mediating effect of organizational character.Considering the indigenous context of China’s new economy,the study divides innovation into two types: technological innovation and business model innovation.Then,we build a path model to achieve the innovation by taking intellectual capital and organizational character as antecedents.Finally,a structural equation model is built to measure the path on the basis of sample data collected via a questionnaire survey.The results indicate that intellectual capital has a significant positive direct effect on technological innovation,but its direct effect on business model innovation is not significant.Organizational character not only mediates the relationship between the intellectual capital and technological innovation,but also plays a mediating role in the effect path from the intellectual capital to business model innovation.In addition,technological innovation has a positive impact on the business model innovation,and mediates the relationship between the intellectual capital and business model innovation.This paper decomposes innovation into technological innovation and business model innovation,and conducts comparative analysis of two types of innovations to enrich the analytical perspective of innovation management theory.Then,the mediation effect model is proposed from the perspective of organizational character,enriching the path from intellectual capital to innovation.Finally,this paper extends the research on organizational character,from conceptual and structural qualitative research to quantitative research.This innovation mechanism also has important enlightenment significance for how organizations can better carry out innovation activities and achieve better innovation performance under the new economic situation. |
