本文研究了知识密集型中小企业集群经营的一个重要课题。来自830家中小企业的样本以及定性验证访谈的结果表明，合作，即同时追求合作和竞争，对中小企业的创新有不同的影响。影响合作企业创新绩效的调节因子有三个：(1)与合作伙伴分享知识；(2)向合作伙伴学习（内学习）；(3)技术不确定性。总体而言，研究发现，合作可以引发激进创新，但同时也会损害极具创新性的革命性创新。当中小企业与合作伙伴分享知识时，对革命性创新的破坏性影响甚至更大。然而，如果中小企业通过内学习整合其合作伙伴的知识，合作对革命性创新的积极影响是可以实现的。在技术不确定性较大的情况下，合作也是有利的。本研究的潜在剖面分析解开了未观察到的异质性，并显示了中小企业的七种不同剖面。(C) 2013爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
This study researches an important topic for knowledge-intensive SMEs that operate in clusters. Results from a sample of 830 SMEs as well as from qualitative validation interviews indicate that coopetition, the simultaneous pursuit of cooperation and competition, has a varying impact on innovations of SMEs. Three moderators influence coopetition's innovation performance: (1) sharing knowledge with the partner, (2) learning from the partner (inlearning), and (3) technological uncertainty. Overall, the study finds that coopetition can trigger radical innovation, but at the same time can harm the extremely novel revolutionary innovation. The damaging effect on revolutionary innovation is even stronger when SMEs share knowledge with their partners. However, a positive effect of coopetition on revolutionary innovation is achievable if SMEs do integrate their partners' knowledge through inlearning. Coopetition is also advantageous under greater technological uncertainty. A latent profile analysis in this study disentangles unobserved heterogeneity and displays seven different profiles of SMEs.
