Abstract:

Collaborative R&D by agribusinesses to trigger knowledge recombination creation, thereby enhancing innovative entrepre- neurial opportunities, is a complex systems management issue. Accordingly, this study constructs a “motivation-capability-trigger” element framework for collaborative R&D in agribusinesses based on Fogg’s Behavior Model. Furthermore, drawing on absorptive capacity theory and incorporating a configurational perspective and a complex mediation model, it analyzes how different elements of collaborative R&D jointly configure to drive knowledge recombination creation within agribusiness. This study finds that high knowledge recombination creation can be achieved through three types of collaborative R&D configurations: orientation-driven, market-driven, and institution-driven. These configurations not only directly facilitate the realization of innovative entrepreneurial opportunities but also indirectly promote such realization through knowledge recombination creation; that is, knowledge recombination creation plays a complex mediating role between the three configurations and the realization of innovative entrepreneurial opportunities. The findings have important theoretical and practical implications for how agribusinesses can promote the realization of innovative entrepreneurial opportunities through collaborative R&D strategies.

摘要：

涉农企业通过合作研发以触发知识重组创造,进而促进创新型创业机会实现是一个复杂系统管理问题。基于此,本研究通过Fogg行为理论提炼了涉农企业合作研发的“动机—能力—触发器”要素框架。在此基础上,借鉴吸收能力理论并引入组态视角和复杂中介模型来分析合作研发不同要素驱动涉农企业知识重组创造的组态。研究发现:高知识重组创造包括导向驱动型、市场驱动型、制度驱动型3种合作研发组态,其不仅能直接促进创新型创业机会实现,也可通过知识重组创造间接促进创新型创业机会实现,即知识重组创造在3种组态和创新型创业机会实现间发挥复杂中介作用。本研究结论对于涉农企业如何通过合作研发策略促进创新型创业机会实现具有重要的理论与实践启示。
