Abstract: This study examines the effects of three forms of R&D - marketing relationships - cooperation, competition, and coopetition - on innovation performance. Based on an empirical study among Chinese IT firms, we found that R&D-marketing cooperation and coopetition exert positive effects on innovation performance, while the inter-sector competition has a negative effect on innovation performance. Besides, we also explored the moderating mechanism of political tie. Based on the regression analysis, we found the political tie plays a significantly negative moderating role between the cooperation and coopetition on innovation performance, while the political tie does not have a significant moderating effect between competition and innovation performance.

摘要： 研发部门与市场部门间关系，包括：合作、竞争及竞合关系，对企业创新绩效具有重要意义。本文通过回归分析，实证检验了研发部门与市场部门竞合关系对企业创新绩效的影响，并探究了政治关联在该过程中的权变机制。研究发现：（1）研发部门与市场部门合作对创新绩效具有积极的促进作用；（2）部门间竞争对创新绩效具有负向的减弱作用；（3）部门间的竞合关系正向影响企业的创新绩效；（4）政治关联负向调节合作与竞合关系对创新绩效的影响，而政治关联在竞争与创新绩效间的调节作用并不显著。
