While firms invest in portfolios of technology alliances primarily seeking technological benefits (e.g. access to novel technological knowledge to develop product innovations), an adequate portfolio of technology alliances can also bring non-technological benefits, such as access to novel managerial knowledge, which can result in management innovation. However, it remains unclear under what conditions technology alliance portfolios yield such benefits. Drawing from the literature on knowledge utilization from alliance portfolios, we examine how the configuration of a firm's technology alliance portfolio affects the likelihood of the firm introducing management innovation. Our panel data analyses of Spanish manufacturing firms for 2008–2016 reveal that a firm is more likely to introduce management innovation when its alliance portfolio shows diversity of partner types; however, this positive effect of diversity becomes less pronounced as the alliance portfolio becomes more oriented towards exploration (i.e. relatively greater presence of research-focused partner types). Our study also provides recommendations for managers seeking to connect the technological and non-technological spheres of innovation: a technological alliance portfolio that brings together diverse partner types while avoiding excessive presence of research-focused partner types may offer greater opportunity for management innovation.

交易范围之外:技术联盟组合的配置和管理创新的引入

虽然公司投资于技术联盟组合主要是为了寻求技术利益(例如获得新的技术知识以开发产品创新),但适当的技术联盟组合也可以带来非技术利益,例如获得新的管理知识,这可能导致在管理创新方面。然而,尚不清楚技术联盟组合在什么条件下会产生这样的好处。从联盟组合中的知识利用文献中,我们研究了公司技术联盟组合的配置如何影响公司引入管理创新的可能性。我们对 2008-2016 年西班牙制造公司的面板数据分析表明,当其联盟组合显示合作伙伴类型的多样性时,公司更有可能引入管理创新;然而,随着联盟组合变得更加注重探索(即以研究为重点的合作伙伴类型相对较多),这种多样性的积极影响变得不那么明显。我们的研究还为寻求连接技术和非技术创新领域的管理人员提供了建议:技术联盟组合将不同类型的合作伙伴聚集在一起,同时避免过度存在以研究为重点的合作伙伴类型,可能会为管理创新提供更大的机会。随着联盟组合变得更加注重探索(即以研究为重点的合作伙伴类型的存在相对较多),多样性的这种积极影响变得不那么明显。我们的研究还为寻求连接技术和非技术创新领域的管理人员提供了建议:技术联盟组合将不同类型的合作伙伴聚集在一起,同时避免过度存在以研究为重点的合作伙伴类型,可能会为管理创新提供更大的机会。随着联盟组合变得更加注重探索(即以研究为重点的合作伙伴类型的存在相对较多),多样性的这种积极影响变得不那么明显。我们的研究还为寻求连接技术和非技术创新领域的管理人员提供了建议:技术联盟组合将不同类型的合作伙伴聚集在一起,同时避免过度存在以研究为重点的合作伙伴类型,可能会为管理创新提供更大的机会。
