Although decision making lies at the heart of the entrepreneurial process, few studies have focused on academic entrepreneurs’ decision-making logic. Academic entrepreneurs are faced with high uncertainty and resource constraints. Effectuation logic provides four decision-making principles (experimentation, affordable loss, flexibility, and pre-commitments) for academic entrepreneurs to address uncertainty and obtain more resources. At the same time, academic entrepreneurs should introduce entrepreneurial behaviors to their preexisting roles and initiate role innovation to implement effectuation logic. This research focuses not only on the important role of effectuation logic, but also on the interaction between effectuation logic and role innovation that is helpful to achieving academic entrepreneurship performance. This research adopts empirical methods in taking the interaction between academic entrepreneurs’ effectuation logic and role innovation as independent variables and academic entrepreneurship performance as the dependent variable to explore the empirical results. Based on 200 valid samples, we find that academic entrepreneurs’ effectuation logic and role innovation are associated with academic entrepreneurship performance and that the four interactive effects play different roles. This study supplements the research of effectuation theory, expands its application fields, and enriches academic entrepreneurship research. In addition, we provide some practical implications for academic entrepreneurs and discuss limitations and future research suggestions.

尽管既往研究从多角度揭示了企业知识吸收能力的形成与发展机理,然而企业微观行为如何影响吸收能力的形成尚不清楚.本研究基于企业行为理论,揭示组织冗余、组织期望和过去绩效对企业吸收能力形成与发展的作用机理.本研究运用实证研究方法,基于289家企业的样本数据,对提出的假设进行验证,结果显示:组织冗余和组织期望均与潜在吸收能力正相关;过去绩效和潜在吸收能力均与现实吸收能力正相关;潜在和现实吸收能力均与企业绩效正相关.本研究连接了企业行为理论和吸收能力理论,揭示了吸收能力形成与发展的微观机制,对于企业纵向评估未来、现状和过去近而做出相关决策具有现实指导意义.

This article focuses on the entrepreneurial identification (EI), through the perspectives of social identity theory and identity theory. Using an empirical method, we investigate factors that affect the formation of EI. Results show that academic entrepreneurs' multiple identities (MI) and role conflict (RC) influence such type of formation. Moreover, we use role orientation (RO) as a moderating variable and find that, although RO of academic entrepreneurs can moderate the relationship between RC and EI, the effect of MI on EI cannot be moderated by ROin a significant way. We also discuss and validate the relationship between EI and academic entrepreneurial performance. These findings highlight the importance of certain factors in forming anEI, thus providing theoretical contributions of RO moderation in the relationship between RC and EI, as well as insights into the integration of social identity theory with identity theory.

Academic entrepreneurs are the key actors in academic entrepreneurship. However, the individual level of research on academic entrepreneurship remains undeveloped. To better understand the micro foundation of academic entrepreneurship, we investigate the influence of social identification on academic entrepreneurs' role conflict. Using data from 246 academic entrepreneurs, we explore the effects of scholarly identification, entrepreneurial identification, and social identity continuity on academic entrepreneurs' role conflict. The results suggest that, entrepreneurial identification and social identify continuity are both negative related to identify conflict, while a scholarly identification is positively related to role conflict. In addition, the interaction of scholarly identification and entrepreneurial identification is negatively associated with role conflict. We also investigate the performance implications of such a role conflict and show that it is negatively related to academic entrepreneurship performance. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.

当前,在“大众创业,万众创新”的政策支持下,越来越多的学者和科研人员参与创业,学术创业受到了学术界和实业界的广泛关注.本文从社会身份认同的视角探讨学术创业者身份悖论整合机理及其对学术创业绩效的作用机理,并揭示创业叙事的调节作用.基于三阶段收集的248位学术创业者的问卷进行实证研究,研究结果表明:学者身份认同负向影响身份悖论整合,创业者身份认同、社会身份连续性促进身份悖论整合;身份悖论整合正向影响学术创业绩效;创业叙事正向调节创业者身份认同、社会身份连续性与身份悖论整合的关系,也正向调节身份悖论整合与学术创业绩效的关系.

后发企业的核心技术与知识产权受制于先发企业,这要求后发企业必须不断提升创新能力.基于对我国后发企业追赶的实践观察,发现成功实现追赶的后发企业较多地采用了迭代创新的模式,即在现有产品的基础上,通过持续地优化,开发出多代新产品获取动态竞争优势,进而实现追赶.基于上述观察,提出再创能力的概念以揭示中国情境下后发企业追赶所具备的独特能力,并从竞争者导向视角揭示再创能力的形成机理及对创新绩效的作用.基于211家企业的数据实证研究表明:竞争者导向与再创能力之间存在显著正相关关系,知识整合在竞争者导向与再创能力之间发挥完全中介作用,创造性模仿在二者之间发挥部分中介作用;再创能力与创新绩效之间存在显著的正相关关系,技术波动负向调节再创能力与创新绩效之间的关系.
