摘　　要：本文基于社会资本理论,研究了企业间社会资本的三个维度作为利用式和探索式两种创新的驱动因素时,各自的作用效果和机理,特别是探究了三类社会资本对创新可能的"黑暗面"效应。对206家中国企业的数据进行的实证研究显示,认知资本对利用式创新有正向作用,对探索式创新的作用呈倒U型;关系资本与两种类型的创新都是倒U型关系,但随着关系资本的增加,相比探索式创新,利用式创新会首先达到瓶颈点;结构资本对两种创新都有正向促进作用,但对利用式创新的作用是递增的。我们的研究结论对于企业更好地管理与创新合作伙伴的关系,有效促进企业的创新活动提供了有意义的理论基础和实践指导。Based on social capital theory, this paper delves into the unique effects and mechanisms of three dimensions of social capital as the drivers of two types of innovation-exploitation and exploration, especially the ＂ dark side effect＂ of social caDital. Using data from 206 firms in China, We found that. cognitive capital is positively related to exploitation,but its effect on exploration takes the form of an inverted U-shape ; relational capital＇ s effects on both types of innovation take the form of an inverted U-shape, Meanwhile, compared to exploration, exploitation will reach the choke point morequickly with the increase of relational capital ; The increase of structural capital is in favor of both exploitation and explo-ration; furthermore, it fosters exploitation at an accelerating rate. Our study provides theoretical and managerial implica-tions for managers about how to build the relationships with innovative partners in order to promote their innovation.
