中文摘要

台灣的產業多屬中小企業,面對變數及成本相當高的研發專案,台灣的企業多無法獨自承擔,因此傾向採取以共同研發或是經由政府單位輔導之研發聯盟,藉此分攤風險及成本。在持續創新的需求下,面對變動快速以及愈趨激烈的產業競爭環境,中小企業透過參與研發聯盟不僅可共同分擔成本、分散風險,亦可快速取得互補性資源,進而創造與蓄積組織內部知識資產與有效的技術移轉。本研究目的在探討關係資本是否有益於知識整合能力,以及實證研究知識整合能力與組織創新績效的關係。此外,加入組織吸收能力來探討干擾變數使否具有增強效果。研究對象為參與工研院所推動的研發聯盟之廠商,共回收有效問卷107份,並以此資料進行敘述性統計分析、信效度分析、相關分析與因素分析後,採用階層迴歸分析來驗證假設。實證結果發現,關係資本會正向影響知識整合能力,知識整合能力與組織創新績效是正向顯著關係,而吸收能力會干擾關係資本與組織知識整合能力之間的關係。

英文摘要

SMEs in Taiwan industries usually can not afford high risks and costs of R&D projects and tend to join research alliances with government research units or any possible solutions to reduce the total risks and costs. R&D consortium which in the competitive era has become an important source for organizational innovation which is not only to reduces costs and risks but also a strategic and effective means to acquire complementary assets, create knowledge and transfer technology for SME. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of relationship capital on knowledge integration capability and the relation between organizational innovation performances and knowledge integration. Also, this study incorporates absorptive capability as one moderator variables to strengthen the process of the organizational innovation performances. The framework is empirically tested using a survey instrument given to 107 questionnaire responses from participants in ITRI-sponsored R&D consortia. We confirm the research hypothesis with descriptive statistical, correlation analysis, factor analysis, hierarchical regression analysis, and structural equation modeling. The results show that relationship capital is positively related to knowledge integration capacity. Knowledge integration capacity positively affects the organizational innovation performances. The relationship between relationship capital and knowledge integration capability can be significantly and positively moderated by absorptive capability.
