中國汽車模具企業持續創新能力與經營效益的關係研究 ─ 以創新驅動製造加工水平的提升為視角

Abstract

At present, the law of enterprise development in China has changed from resource and capital intensive to knowledge intensive and innovation driven. As the machine tool of manufacturing industry -- mould industry, innovation will affect not only the development of enterprise itself, but also the innovation and development of the manufacturing industry. Therefore, in this paper, the mould enterprise as the research object, aims at innovation ability to study its functionary mechanism to enhance the level of mould manufacturing and processing, and to explore the mechanism to increase the operating efficiency of the mould enterprises. The paper also explore the moderating effect of the enterprise innovation culture as a moderator to the mechanism above.

Based on the "enterprise innovation ability – manufacturing and processing level - enterprise operating efficiency" as the research logic, this paper establishes the theoretical model for the empirical study. From the perspective of technology, strategy, learning and management, the papere developes a four dimension evaluation system of enterprise sustainable innovation ability and measurement variables; put forward the concept of enterprise manufacturing and processing level as the assessment of manufacturing capacity of an enterprise, from the equipment, skills, delivery angles, developes three dimensional evaluation system and measurement variables of the enterprise manufacturing and processing level. The paper, from the benefit coordination among enterprise, employees and customers, developes three-dimensional operating efficiency evaluation system and measurement variables; also from the top management value of innovation, innovation atmosphere and system guarantee developes an evaluation system and measurement variables of enterprise innovation culture. 410 sample data has been collected to an empirical test of the hypothesis, and draws the corresponding conclusion.

The research shows that the innovation capability of enterprises has a positive impact on the level of manufacturing and processing, and the level of manufacturing and processing has a positive impact on the operating efficiency of enterprise management. The results confirmed that continuous innovation drives the manufacturing and processing level increase, and thus promotes the operational efficiency as the development path of the advanced manufacturing industry, i.e. through innovation driven manufacturing and processing is an important way to realize our country`s manufacturing power, the promotion of manufacturing capacity should be the main component of the development strategy of China`s enterprises, not just for assessment and management from the perspective of cost, efficiency and labor productivity.

The paper examines the moderating effects of enterprise innovation culture of the three typical connotations on the relationship between enterprise innovation capability and manufacturing and processing level, as well as the relationship between enterprise innovation capability and operating efficiency. Taking the current mould enterprises as samples, the results show that the enterprise innovation culture positively regulates the relationship between enterprise innovation capability and manufacturing equipment, and positively regulates the relationship between enterprise innovation capability and enterprise benefit. The results also show that the moderating effect of the three dimensions of corporate innovation culture is different.

This paper also discusses the theoretical value and practical significance of the results.
