Innovation studies as an emerging scientific field have come into prominent spotlight in various research areas such as public policies, industrial development, and corporate strategies. Despite all the differences in scopes and levels of analysis, innovation studies seek to unravel the puzzle of why some individuals, firms, institutes, regions, and nations are better innovators. Scholars in innovation studies mainly adopt a systematic approach to unravel the national innovation puzzle. The theory of national systems of innovation (NSI), along with its two extended models (the Triple-Helix model and National Innovative Capacity, NIC), mainly look into the institutional contexts in which innovative actors and innovating activities are embedded in. However, the existing theories lack a structural model of how cross-national STI (science, technology, and innovation) policies shape innovation processes. They overemphasize the role of institutions that do not fit well into policy subsystems controlled by governing arrangements. Moreover, they do not fully recognize a country as a whole constitutes the “national learning system” composed of knowledgeable learners and knowledge activities. Given all these research gaps, this dissertation seeks to answer the core research question regarding the structural and behavioral conditions that enable a country to innovate better. A conceptual model is conceived to examine the interactive dynamics of a country’s dual-regime structure in STI policies, dual-capacity in knowledge absorption, and the innovation outputs in exploration and exploitation. The dual-regime policy structure is mainly composed of democracy and meritocracy, each of which goes through different channels to enhance exploratory and exploitative innovation. The dual-capacity in knowledge absorption is mainly composed of a country’s absorptive capacity that carries potential and realized dimensions. This dual-capacity interacts with the dual-regime policy structure to further vitalize the latter’s effects on exploratory and exploitative innovation. To test the conceptual model, this dissertation collects panel data on thirty-eight OECD countries from 2010-2022. All the dependent, explanatory, moderating, and control variables are operationalized with relevant indices regularly compiled by trustworthy international organizations. This dissertation further establishes five statistical equations, each of which corresponds to a principal hypothesis. The conceptual model is solidly supported with fixed-effects panel regression on the sample data. Moreover, post-hoc analysis, including random-effects panel regression, the Hausman test, country-level scatter plots, and variance inflation factors, confirms the validity of the research methodology. Existing innovation theories argue that for the purpose of enhancing innovation, a country should commit to R&D investments, set up proper institutions, and foster an innovator-friendly environment. The major contribution of this dissertation is integrating structural and behavioral perspectives to depict a more panoramic picture on what should a country do to become a more accomplished innovator. With the appropriate STI policy structure and knowledge capacity well-established, a country faces no tradeoff nor the need to balance between exploration and exploitation. An ambidextrous STI policy structure, equipped with an ambidextrous knowledge agency, enables and empowers a country to be ambidextrous in innovation.參考文獻 REFERENCES Acar, O.

Despite all the differences in scopes and levels of analysis, innovation studies seek to unravel the puzzle of why some individuals, firms, institutes, regions, and nations are better innovators. Scholars in innovation studies mainly adopt a systematic approach to unravel the national innovation puzzle. The theory of national systems of innovation (NSI), along with its two extended models (the Triple-Helix model and National Innovative Capacity, NIC), mainly look into the institutional contexts in which innovative actors and innovating activities are embedded in. However, the existing theories lack a structural model of how cross-national STI (science, technology, and innovation) policies shape innovation processes. They overemphasize the role of institutions that do not fit well into policy subsystems controlled by governing arrangements. Moreover, they do not fully recognize a country as a whole constitutes the “national learning system” composed of knowledgeable learners and knowledge activities. Given all these research gaps, this dissertation seeks to answer the core research question regarding the structural and behavioral conditions that enable a country to innovate better. A conceptual model is conceived to examine the interactive dynamics of a country’s dual-regime structure in STI policies, dual-capacity in knowledge absorption, and the innovation outputs in exploration and exploitation. The dual-regime policy structure is mainly composed of democracy and meritocracy, each of which goes through different channels to enhance exploratory and exploitative innovation. The dual-capacity in knowledge absorption is mainly composed of a country’s absorptive capacity that carries potential and realized dimensions. This dual-capacity interacts with the dual-regime policy structure to further vitalize the latter’s effects on exploratory and exploitative innovation. To test the conceptual model, this dissertation collects panel data on thirty-eight OECD countries from 2010-2022. All the dependent, explanatory, moderating, and control variables are operationalized with relevant indices regularly compiled by trustworthy international organizations. This dissertation further establishes five statistical equations, each of which corresponds to a principal hypothesis. The conceptual model is solidly supported with fixed-effects panel regression on the sample data. Moreover, post-hoc analysis, including random-effects panel regression, the Hausman test, country-level scatter plots, and variance inflation factors, confirms the validity of the research methodology. Existing innovation theories argue that for the purpose of enhancing innovation, a country should commit to R&D investments, set up proper institutions, and foster an innovator-friendly environment. The major contribution of this dissertation is integrating structural and behavioral perspectives to depict a more panoramic picture on what should a country do to become a more accomplished innovator. With the appropriate STI policy structure and knowledge capacity well-established, a country faces no tradeoff nor the need to balance between exploration and exploitation. An ambidextrous STI policy structure, equipped with an ambidextrous knowledge agency, enables and empowers a country to be ambidextrous in innovation. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents Chapter 1: Introduction 1 1.1 Research background 1 1.2 Research question 8 2.3 Research contributions 9 2.4 Research structure 10 Chapter 2: Theories and Hypotheses 11 2.1 Theory of national systems of innovation 11 2.2 Theory of STI policy regimes 19 2.3 STI policy regimes and innovation 43 2.4 The moderating role of national absorptive capacity (NAC) 55 2.5 A conceptual model of STI policy regimes, NAC and innovation 64 Chapter 3: Research Methods 66 3.1 Data sources 66 3.2 Measures 67 3.3 Model specification 77 Chapter 4: Empirical Results 79 4.1 Regression results 79 4.2 Post hoc analysis 83 Chapter 5: Discussions 92 5.1 Implications for innovation theories 92 5.2 Implications for STI policies 95 Chapter 6: Conclusion 98 REFERENCES 101 zh_TW dc.format.extent 4598083 bytes - dc.format.mimetype application/pdf - dc.source.uri (資料來源) http://thesis.lib.nccu.edu.tw/record/#G0108364504 en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) 民主型科技創新政策體制 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 才能型科技創新政策體制 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 潛在性國家吸收能耐 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 實現性國家吸收能耐 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 探索性創新 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 應用性創新 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 國家創新系統 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) democratic STI policy regime en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) meritocratic STI policy regime en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) potential national absorptive capacity en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) realized national absorptive capacity en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) exploratory innovation en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) exploitative innovation en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) national systems of innovation en_US dc.title (題名) 科技創新政策體制、國家吸收能耐與國家創新成效之探索性研究 zh_TW dc.title (題名) An Explorative Study on STI Policy Regimes, National Absorptive Capacity, and National Innovation Performance en_US dc.type (資料類型) thesis en_US dc.relation.reference (參考文獻) REFERENCES Acar, O.
