Abstract


The role of patents has changed from defensive tool to strategic tool in high-tech enterprises. Patents are not only the outcomes of technological innovation, but also the resource input of technological innovation. From resource-based review and combine with open innovation, this study takes high-tech enterprises as research sample, exploring the linkage between patent management and technological innovation performance. This dissertation closely connected with the patent management status of high-tech enterprises, the linkage model is constructed on the basis of theoretical study, the measurement indicators are developed, and hypotheses are proposed. The statistical analysis software SPSS 17.0 Amos 7.0 is used to analyze the data collected from large sample survey. The theoretical model and hypotheses are tested to explore the linkage mechanism between patent management and technological innovation performance. The main contents of this paper are as follows:First of all, on the basis of systematically analysis of the literatures collected from domestic and abroad, the definitions of high-tech enterprise’patent management and technological innovation performance are defined, and the scope and characteristics of high-tech enterprises are briefly discussed. On this basis, the technological innovation and patent management status of high-tech enterprises are described. The problems of patent management and technological innovation are revealed. The entire above-mentioned are provide foundations to the analysis of influential factors.Second, take technological innovation as the main line in open innovation environment, an in-depth exploration was carried out on influential factors between patent management and technological innovation performance. Three key factors were identified: openness, continuous innovation capabilities, technology lock-in. In this dissertation, a detailed analysis of each influential factors affect the linkage between patent management and technological innovation performance was carried out.Third, on the basis of literature review, the linkage model is constructed from a dynamical process perspective. According to the questionnaires data, the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability and validity test are carried out through statistic analysis software to verify the fitness of sample data and the linkage model. Then, the proposed hypotheses are tested by structural equation model (SEM) and hierarchical regression analysis. The results show that patent acquisition has positive effect on societal performance, but has no positive effect on economic performance; patent protection and patent commercialization has positive effects on economic performance, but has no positive effects on societal performance; patent acquisition has positive effect on learning capacity, R&D capacity and manufacturing capacity, but has no positive effects on resource allocation capacity, marketing capacity and institustion capacity; patent protection and patent commercialization has positive effect on continuous innovation capabilities; the effect of each dimension of continuous innovation capabilities on technological innovation performance are different; technology lock-in negatively moderates the relationship between patent management and technological innovation performance.What’s more, in terms of theoretical research and empirical analysis results, the linkage between patent management and technological innovation performance in open innovation environment is concluded:in the model of patent management and technological innovation performance, every variable of patent management has positive effect on technological innovation performance, the linkage between the two behaves comprehensive; in the integrated model which considers the continuous development, patent management affect technological innovation performance by influencing the continuous innovation capacity, the linkage between the two behaves partial.Finally, according to the empirical results and combined with the status of Chinese high-tech enterprises, the implications of this study to the linkage between patent management and technological innovation performance in high-tech enterprises are delineated, and provide references to the estimation on patent management and technological innovation performance. After the analysis of influential factors, companies can be targeted to enhance the utilization of positive factors and to avoid the negative factors. At the same time, recognize the status and role of every aspect of patent management, this will help the enterprises to strengthen the management of different aspect pertinently, and provide academic underpinnings and method guidance on how to implement valid patent management to enhance technological innovation performance.
