Abstract

With the increasing demand for resources for innovation in China, it is difficult to meet the demand for innovation simply by relying on the internal resources of enterprises. The effective use of external resources has become a key factor affecting the success of innovation. This research focuses on the basic problem of "how does enterprise social capital affect the improvement of enterprise innovation capability". This study is divided into three sub-studies and goes deep into each level. The conclusion of this study has three aspects. First, the enterprise's internal resource accumulation and external enterprise resource acquisition capability complement each other and jointly affect the improvement of enterprise innovation capability. Second, different dimensions of enterprise social capital have a positive effect on enterprise innovation capability, and some of the effects play an impact through the intermediary role of enterprise resource acquisition capability. Third, we have seen that the internal environment and external environment of the enterprise respectively regulate the relationship between enterprise social capital and enterprise innovation capability, and found that the internal and external environmental factors play a significantly different role in the process of improving enterprise innovation capability of enterprise social capital.
