大型产业公司(母公司)通过公司风险投资战略投资新创企业,旨在获取前沿知识,驱动自身创新。然而,由于双方地位不对等,母公司的知识搜寻意图常引发新创企业知识隐藏等防御行为,导致母公司陷入知识获取困境,限制公司风险投资的创新价值。如何优化公司风险投资布局与治理,提升母公司研发活力?本文基于2005—2020年沪深A股上市公司的风险投资活动,探究投资组合策略与治理模式对母公司创新投入的影响。研究发现:行业与地理多元化布局比集中化布局更能提升母公司的创新价值;母公司集权决策与高度控制的投资方式,会强化新创企业对知识侵占的感知,削弱多元化布局的创新促进作用。进一步研究表明,在知识密集型行业或投资对象防御倾向较强时,公司风险投资多元化布局对母公司创新投入的促进效果更显著。本文基于公司风险投资双方“知识搜寻—知识隐藏”的互动关系,深化了企业外部知识探索对创新影响的微观机制研究,为母公司借助风险投资实现创新驱动提供理论支撑与实践参考。
