Drawing on the literature on organizational change, technological change, and inertia, this paper explores how the moment that companies choose to initiate a technological change relative to other companies from the same regional and industrial context influences the company's performance. In particular, we test the excess inertia and excess momentum phenomena that refer to timely and untimely technological shifts in companies. A data set comprising about 1000 of the largest Russian companies, affiliated with 19 industries, located in most of the Russian regions, for 10 years starting from 2008, is used. Applying a multi-level approach of hierarchical linear modeling, we estimated the region environment effect and the industry effect on sales and productivity. The use of moderation effects of the correspondent technology adoption with the average lag or lead from the representative company in the industry or region, could help us demonstrate what digital technologies are probably associated with the excess inertia and the excess momentum phenomena on the industry and regional level. The results reveal that the industry effect is a major determinant of firm productivity, whereas sales are mainly influenced by the region effect. Our investigation also found that companies are more likely to exhibit excess inertia rather than excess momentum.

动力过剩还是惯性过剩:公司是否在正确的时间采用技术?✰,✰✰,★,★★

本文利用有关组织变革、技术变革和惯性的文献,探讨了公司相对于来自相同区域和行业背景的其他公司选择发起技术变革的时刻如何影响公司的绩效。特别是,我们测试了与公司及时和不合时宜的技术转变有关的过度惯性和过度动量现象。使用的数据集包含大约 1000 家最大的俄罗斯公司,隶属于 19 个行业,位于俄罗斯大部分地区,从 2008 年开始的 10 年中。应用分层线性建模的多层次方法,我们估计了区域环境影响和行业对销售和生产力的影响。使用相应技术采用的缓和效应以及行业或地区代表性公司的平均滞后或领先,可以帮助我们证明哪些数字技术可能与行业和地区的过度惯性和过度动量现象相关等级。结果表明,行业效应是企业生产力的主要决定因素,而销售额则主要受区域效应的影响。我们的调查还发现,公司更有可能表现出过度的惯性而不是过度的动力。结果表明,行业效应是企业生产力的主要决定因素,而销售额则主要受区域效应的影响。我们的调查还发现,公司更有可能表现出过度的惯性而不是过度的动力。结果表明,行业效应是企业生产力的主要决定因素,而销售额则主要受区域效应的影响。我们的调查还发现,公司更有可能表现出过度的惯性而不是过度的动力。
