In the era of Internet informationization and knowledge economy sharing,innovation capability has become one of the most important core capabilities of enterprises.In the current increasingly competitive market environment,companies can only maintain their ability to innovate,and then according to the external market environment,they should constantly adjust their development strategies,develop new technologies and develop new products to cater to and meet changing market demands in order to survive and sustain development.If enterprises rely only on internal technology and knowledge,and adhere to closed-end innovation models that are closeddoor and self-styled,the future will certainly be marginalized and then gradually eliminated by the market.Therefore,if enterprises want to be in a competitive position,they must obtain the resources they need from outside and strengthen cooperation with other companies.At the same time,enterprises must continuously integrate internal resources and effectively use innovative internal and external innovation channels to carry out innovation activities in order to enhance their innovation capabilitiy.The improvement of innovation ability is the basis and premise for enterprises to improve their innovation performance.How does open innovation affect the innovation ability of enterprises and thus contribute to the innovation performance of enterprises? So far,the research results of scholars at home and abroad on the relationship between open innovation,innovation ability and innovation performance have been increasingly enriched,but the empirical research on the relationship between the three is still relatively small and not deep enough.Therefore,it is of great theoretical and practical significance to further study the mechanism of innovation between the two.Based on the reference to relevant theories and previous research results at home and abroad,this paper sorts out the connotation and measurement of open innovation,innovation ability and innovation performance,and deeply studies the relationship between the three,and comes up with the corresponding Theoretical models and research hypotheses in the foundation of that.Then,based on the collected 207 corporate data,the theoretical models and research hypotheses were empirically tested by using SPSS20.0 and AMOS21.0 software.In this paper,the predecessors divide open innovation into two dimensions of outbound open innovation and inbound open innovation,and divide innovation capability into three dimensions: innovation management capability,Research and development(R&D)investment capability,R&D and manufacturing capability,and then do study the relationship between them.The empirical research results show that two-way open innovation has a significant positive impact on innovation ability and innovation performance.Innovation ability has a significant positive impact on innovation performance.Innovation management ability is partly intervened between inbound open innovation and innovation performance.R&D investment capacity and R&D and manufacturing capabilities play a partial intermediary role in both-way open innovation and innovation performance.Based on the current Chinese situation,this study constructs and empirically tests the relationship model of open innovation,innovation ability and innovation performance,and proposes that innovation ability has a mediating effect between the two.The research results of this paper not only have certain innovations in theory,but also have important guiding significance for the improvement of innovation performance. |
