摘　　要：拥有丰富的产品开发经验(product development experience,PDE)是否能帮助国际化的企业提升创新绩效呢?一方面,动态能力理论认为企业积累产品开发经验可以在对外直接投资过程中发挥作用进而提高创新绩效。另一方面,路径依赖理论表明企业的PDE是针对国内市场的,经验的积累可能会限制它们利用国际化机会从事创新的能力。基于这样的"母国能力悖论"本研究提出竞争性假设,通过对2002-2012年间80家企业400个样本观测值的实证分析,证实了在中国情境下产品开发经验的深度负向调节国际扩张与创新绩效关系,我们的发现支持了路径依赖效应的假说。Debate on how emerging market(EM) firms may use outward foreign direct investment(OFDI) as a vehicle to enhance innovation performance has not been conclusive. On one hand, dynamic capability literature supports that these firms may build up product development experience(PDE) via OFDI for improving innovation performance. On the other hand, path dependence argument suggests that these firms PDE is domestic market-specific, therefore, PDE accumulated may constrain their capability of using OFDI opportunities for improving innovation performance. We argue that PDE breadth and depth affect the relationships among PDE, OFDI, and innovation performance. Using panel data of 80 Chinese firms we find that PDE depth has a significant negative effect on domestic innovation performance of Chinese outward investors. Our finding provides specific conditions for when the path dependence effect holds.
