Dynamic Growth of Technological Innovation Capability of Manufacturing Enterprises from the Perspective of Open Innovation on Evaluation

Abstract

The world's current economic development presents the only unchanged is change. This change is the that the academic community is increasingly concerned about. The development mode of the company is toward continuous continuous innovation and development, and constantly breaking the original game rules and competitive landscape. However, if manufacturing companies want to successfully achieve cross-border, knowledge search is considered to be a key factor in achieving cross-border technological innovation. Knowledge search itself has duality. How does the of knowledge search affect the improvement of technological innovation? Does absorptive capacity have an effect on external knowledge search and manufacturing companies' technological innovation capabilities? Due to the different theoretical perspectives, there is no definitive discussion on the growth model of the technological innovation capability of manufacturing enterprises in the academic circles. Based on the open innovation theory as the theoretical basis, what is the growth model for the technological innovation capability of manufacturing enterprises? This paper uses empirical analysis methods, latent variable mixed growth model and other methods to empirically analyze 305 manufacturing companies. The study finds that there are two different dynamic growth models for the technological innovation capability of manufacturing enterprises based on the open innovation theory: the growth model and the U growth model. Furthermore, it further examines how the duality of knowledge search, the breadth and depth of knowledge search, and absorptive capacity affect the two different technological innovation capacity growth models of manufacturing companies.
