Abstract: The emergence of virtual space poses new challenges to the practice of innovation management and the construction of innovation theory. It is necessary to reshape the deduction logic and the accompanying new organizational paradigm of space-based innovation. We first define the definition and connotation of virtual space, and make clear the evolution of spatial structure and characteristics. Further, we systematically summarize 248 articles published in top domestic and foreign journals from 1999 to 2019 and propose the framework of innovation based on virtual space. From the perspective of spatial evolution, along the development of "Traditional Business era - VUCA era - BANI era", taking "Physical distance - Relational distance - Spatio-temporal distance" as the main line, and "innovation feature - innovation process - organizational structure" as the branch line, this paper constructs the "Environment - Space - Innovation" theoretical framework based on virtual space innovation from the perspective of evolution, so as to explain the innovation logic deduction and the appropriate organizational paradigm change under the evolution of virtual space. Finally, we comprehensively discuss the challenges of virtual space to the existing innovation management theory, summarize the main research conclusions, and propose possible research directions, in order to provide reference and enlightenment for the theory and practice of innovation management based on virtual space.

摘要： 虚拟空间的出现对创新管理实践和创新理论建构提出了新的挑战，需要重塑基于空间的创新演绎逻辑及其相随而变的组织新范式。在阐明虚拟空间的定义与内涵基础上，厘清空间结构和特点的演进。进一步，基于2000-2021年间发表在国内外重要期刊上的248篇相关文献，对该领域研究主题和内容的演进脉络进行了系统归纳，从空间演化的视角，沿着“传统商业时代—VUCA时代—BANI时代”的发展脉络，以“物理距离—关系距离—时空距离”为主线，以“创新特征—创新流程—组织结构”为支线，构建演进视角下基于虚拟空间创新的“环境—空间—创新”理论框架，以阐释虚拟空间演化下的创新逻辑演绎及其适配的组织范式变革。最后，全面探讨了虚拟空间对现有创新管理理论的挑战，总结主要研究结论，并提出来可能的研究方向，以期为基于虚拟空间的创新管理理论与实践提供借鉴和启示。
