摘要/Abstract

摘要： 桥接科学家兼具学术和产业研发工作经历，在应对学术与产业间差异与冲突、促进技术创新上具有重要价值。本研究探讨了桥接科学家创始人对企业技术创新绩效的影响，以及知识搜索的中介作用。以专精特新“小巨人”上市民营企业为样本，构建了一个包含创始人个人信息以及企业历年发明专利的数据集，来进行实证分析。研究发现：（1）相较于其他科学家创始人，桥接科学家创始人对企业技术创新数量和质量的影响均更强；（2）桥接科学家创始人通过影响科学知识搜索和技术知识搜索提升了技术创新质量，而仅通过技术知识搜索增加了企业技术创新数量。

Abstract: Bridging scientists have both academic and industrial R&D work experience and are valuable in addressing conflicts between academia and industry and promoting technological innovation. This study examines the unique impact of bridging scientists on the technological innovation performance of firms when they are founders. A unique dataset with a sample of Specialized, Fined, Peculiar and Innovative(SFPI) private listed SMEs was constructed for empirical analysis and found that: (1) Compared to other scientist founders, bridging scientist founders have a stronger impact on the technological innovation performance of firms, especially on the quality of technological innovation; (2) bridging scientist founders promoted the technological innovation quality by influencing scientific knowledge search and technical knowledge search, while increasing the firms' technological innovation quantity through technical knowledge search only.
