The Impact Mechanism of Technological Diversification in Patent Cooperation Networks on Breakthroughs in Key Core Technologies:The Mediating Role of Managerial Cognition and Organizational Inertia
Based on the joint patent application of listed companies in the field of medical equipment in China from 2016 to 2020,the effect and internal mechanism of technology diversification on key core technology breakthroughs are deeply explored.The results show that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between technology diversification and key core technology breakthrough,that is,technology diversification contributes to key core technology breakthrough,but it needs to pay attention to the threshold effect;There is a positive correlation between the cognitive complexity of managers and the key core technologies,and a negative correlation between the cognitive concentration of managers and the breakthrough of key core technologies.The inverted U-shaped relationship between technology diversification and key core technology breakthrough is mediated by managers'cognition.When organizational inertia is high,the relationship between management cognitive complexity and core breakthrough of key technologies will weaken.To sum up,it is pointed out that while pursuing technology diversification,enterprises need to balance and optimize their technology portfolio to ensure the deep development and effective supply of key core technology fields,and when pursuing breakthroughs in key core technology,enterprises should pay attention to training and selecting managers with high cognitive complexity in order to better cope with the complexity of technology and the dynamic changes of the market.
