自从熊彼特提出“创造性毁灭”的著名论断之后,技术范式转变所带来的企业的兴衰成败,一直是国外学术研究者和实践工作者关心的热点问题,而我国的学术界和企业界较少关注这一主题的相关研究和实践。随着经济全球化和全球科技进步速度的加快,我国企业越来越多地面临着被新技术浪潮淘汰的威胁。技术水平落后、技术能力匮乏的后发国家的企业如何把握创新浪潮,克服对外部技术的依赖,抓住新技术的机会,从而实现跨越式发展是企业目前所面临的非常紧迫的现实问题。本书围绕这一突出问题,在广泛借鉴创新管理理论和战略管理理论的基础上,对我国企业在技术范式转变背景下的动态能力进行了深入、细致、广泛的研究。
本书首先对动态能力的有关理论进行了文献综述。企业资源基础观认为企业的竞争优势来源于企业内部的独特的战略性资源。但是企业的核心能力理论认为企业的资源本身是没有生产力的,对资源进行组合、协调的能力才是竞争优势的源泉。核心能力理论揭示了企业相关多元化的含义,但是该理论无法解释企业面临外部技术变化时产生的核心刚性。为了克服核心刚性,动态能力理论提出:企业通过集成、建立、重构企业内外的组织技能、资源、专业能力来应对变化的环境。本书在上述相关文献综述的基础上,把动态能力的研究与技术范式转变背景下企业的突破性创新的研究结合起来,试图解决我国企业在成长和发展中所面临的“能力困境”问题。
其次,本书借鉴动态能力的现有的研究成果构建了一个动态能力的双过程—两阶段的扩展模型。现有动态能力研究的一条路径是把动态能力看做是能力改变的管理过程,另一条路径是把动态能力看做是能力本身的变化。本书的研究把两种视角的动态能力综合起来,同时借鉴能力重构过程的两阶段(即认知阶段和执行阶段的理论模型),以企业进行技术范式转变的突破性创新为背景,构建了一个动态能力的双过程—两阶段的扩展理论模型。进一步,本书依据Mintzberg的转变思想即企业组织转变包括组织和战略两个重要的方面,对模型中的动态能力的战略惯例和组织惯例进行了深入的论述,总结出激进式搜索、转变型领导、虚拟组织等战略和组织惯例。
最后,本书选取了一个在技术范式转变背景下进行能力转变的企业,进行了案例实证研究。案例研究表明企业的动态能力的双过程—两阶段的扩展模型是有效的,本书中所阐述的动态能力的战略和组织惯例也得到了实证研究的部分支持。
本书的理论研究填补了现有学术研究中关于技术范式转变背景下的动态能力的研究空白,同时为企业的能力重构实践提供了具有较强可操作性的理论指导。
ABSTRACT
This paper first reviews related theories of dynamic capabillity。A resource based view of the firm presents that firm competitive advantage stems from its internal distinctive strategic asset。But core capability theory thinks firms resources themself is not productive,only is capability of combinating and coordinating all resources fountain of competitive advantage。Although core capability theory interpret implication of corporation related businesses,this theory can not explain core rigid a old firm faces when new technology comes。To overcome core rigid,the dynamic theory advances firm should integrate,built,reconfigue internal and external competences to addess radily environments。Based on these reseaches,this paper synthesize the dynamic capability theory and the disruptive innovation theory in the background of technology paradigm shifting,attempts to resolve the problem of“capability dilemma”of our enterprises meeting。
The second,this paper draws on established academic achievements and structures dual process two stage extended theoretical framework relate to dynamic capability。In the present researches of dynamic capability,there are two paths,a path looks dynamic capability upon as a managerial process of changing firm capability,another path holds dynamic capability is change of capability itself。In this paper,we integrate the two views,simultaneously introduce a theory framework of two stage concerning capability reconfiguration that includes cognitive stage and operational stage,form dual process two stage theoretical frame of dynamic capability in the setting of technology paradigm shifting。Furthermore this paper extended the theoretical framework in which we deeply discuss strategic and organizational routines in the process of changing firms resources base,summarizes many administrative routines such as radical search,transformational leader,virtual organization,etc。
ABSTRACT
At last,this paper choices the firm studied that is refigurating its capability in the face of revolutionary technological change by using the method of case study。This study indicate the theoretical framework is valid。Strategic and organizational routines related to dynamic capability are partly verified by the case study。
One hand,theoretical research of the paper explores the gap of dynamic capability in the face of revolutionary technological change in the literatures。One another hand,the research provides a theoretical guide to dynamic capability practices of chinas firms。
