| 摘 要： | 虽然知识对创新合法性的作用受到关注，但相关研究却忽视了知识搜索策略对创新合法性的影响，且尚未揭示这种影响的决策情境。文章整合知识搜索、创新合法性与决策理性理论，分析了适应式搜索与变革式搜索对创新合法性的影响，以及因果推理和效果推理的调节效应，并利用212家制造企业的数据进行实证。结果表明：适应式搜索和变革式搜索对创新合法性分别有倒U形、U形作用；因果推理增强适应式搜索与创新合法性的关系，而削弱变革式搜索对创新合法性的作用，效果推理的调节作用与之相反；因果/效果双元决策理性正向调节适应式搜索和变革式搜索与创新合法性的关系。

| Abstract: | In the context of transformation and upgrading, enterprises try to make transformation through innovation in products, processes or business models, but the success of innovation activities is relied on legitimacy. Innovation legitimacy indicates the degree of recognition and acceptance of innovation activities by external stakeholders under the constraints of social norms and other systems. Although the impact of knowledge or resource on innovation legitimacy has attracted much attention, the relevant researches about the effect of knowledge search on innovation legitimacy have been neglected, and the decision-making situation of this impact has not been revealed. Moreover, causal reasoning and effectual reasoning are complementary to each other, but the mechanism differences of the two decision-making rationalities and the integration effect between them need to be further explored. Integrating the theory of knowledge search, innovation legitimacy and decision rationality, this paper constructs the model of adaptive search and transformative search on innovation legitimacy, as well as the moderating models of causal reasoning and effectual reasoning.
This paper firstly defines and analyzes the relevant theories and concepts of knowledge search, innovation legitimacy and decision rationality based on the literature review. The conceptual model of knowledge search effects on innovation legitimacy is put forward based on theoretical discussion. Then, data of 212 manufacturing enterprises in Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta are used to testify the research hypothesis with statistical methods, such as correlation analysis, reliability and validity analysis, and multilevel regression analysis. The results show that adaptive search has an inverted U-shaped effect on innovation legitimacy, while transformative search has a U-shaped effect on innovation legitimacy. Causal reasoning strengthens the relationship between adaptive search and innovation legitimacy, but weakens the relationship between transformative search and innovation legitimacy. However, effectual reasoning weakens the relationship between adaptive search and innovation legitimacy, but strengthens the relationship between transformative search and innovation legitimacy. Furthermore, the duality decision rationality of causal reasoning and effectual reasoning positively moderates the relationship between adaptive or transformative search and innovation legitimacy.
This research not only enriches the knowledge search and decision-making rationality, but also provides theoretical reference for manufacturing enterprises to obtain the innovation legitimacy and realize the transformation. Firstly, enterprises should balance the use of adaptive search and transformative search strategy to break through the "legitimacy threshold" of innovation at different stages of entering the market. Secondly, enterprises should pay more attention to the match of managers′ decision-making rationality and knowledge search strategy, so as to obtain innovation legitimacy. Finally, enterprises should use the duality decision rationality of causal reasoning and effectual reasoning to obtain diversified knowledge and avoid falling into the extreme situation of decision-making, so as to use different search strategies to enhance the support of stakeholders for innovation. |
