摘要

高階管理團隊組成的異質性以及其積極的策略意圖對於組織的創新能耐的發展，包括行政創新能耐以及產品創新能耐，都有顯著的貢獻。本研究提出一個整合了策略意圖積極性、高階團隊異質性、行政創新能耐、與產品創新能耐的架構。根據對於中國大陸84家製造公司的資料所做的分析，本研究對此架構進行了實際地驗證。在結構方程模式分析之後，結果顯示出對於上述結構關係，除了高階團隊異質性對於行政創新能耐以外，都有直接或間接影響關係存在的支持。此外，兩個控制變數，包括公司規模以及研究發展投資，也顯示出對於高階團隊的異質性與產品創新能耐之間的關係起到顯著的干擾作用。這些發現拓展了我們對於組織的創新能耐之前提與脈絡的了解，而組織的創新能耐實為動態能耐的重要元素。

Both aggressive strategic intent and heterogeneity of top management team (TMT) contribute to the development of organizational innovative capabilities, including those of administrative innovation and product innovation. This article presents a framework integrating strategic intent aggressiveness, TMT heterogeneity, administrative innovation capability, and product innovation capability. Based on the data of 84 manufacturers in People Republic of China (PRC), this study empirically examines the framework. The results after structural equation modeling show a significant support for the preceding relationships either directly or indirectly, except the enhancement of TMT heterogeneity on administrative innovation capability. In addition, two control variables of firm size and R&D investment also prove to moderate significantly the relationship between TMT heterogeneity and product innovation capability. These findings expand the understanding on the antecedents and contexts of organizational innovative capability that is an important component of dynamic capabilities.
