摘要

Many scholars have studied how to improve cooperative R&D performance from the perspective of relationship factors. Former research has ignored the dynamic development of relationship and cooperation experience's effect on the relationship between relationship factors and cooperative R&D performance. This paper divides relationship factors into relationship capital and relationship maintenance, caring about the development and maintenance of the relationship. Then the paper studies the relationship of relationship capital, relationship maintenance and cooperative R&D performance. Besides, cooperation experience has been put into the model to see whether it will make affects. The paper uses SEM and Multiple-Group Analysis to conduct an empirical analysis based on data of 172 companies in China. The results show that: relationship capital has significant positive effects on relationship maintenance and cooperative R&D performance; relationship maintenance has no significant positive effects on cooperative R&D performance; cooperation experience makes significant differences between different groups as the regulating variable.
