摘要:: 运用扎根理论和案例研究法，对黄岩电动车塑件行业协会在会员企业技术创新中的作用及其机理进行研究。研究发现，行业协会通过发挥信息职能、自律职能和外联职能，促进会员企业技术创新。其中作用机理是：信息职能通过知识转移起作用，自律职能优化了技术创新的行业内制度环境，外联职能优化了技术创新的行业外制度环境。最后提出政策建议：企业技术创新更注重利用行业协会的资源；行业协会在企业技术创新中应充当好“辅助者”“治理者”与“联络者”的角色；理顺企业技术创新中的“政-会-企”关系。研究结果拓展了开放式创新理论在开放对象方面的界限，同时指出了开放对象不仅仅是企业技术创新的创新源，同时还是企业创新环境的治理者。

Abstract:: Based on the grounded theory and case study, this paper studies the role and mechanism of the plastic parts industry association of Huangyan electric vehicle in the member enterprises’ technological innovation. The study found that industry associations promoted the technological innovation of the member enterprises through its information function, self regulatory function and outreach function. The mechanism is: functional information works through knowledge transfer, self regulatory function optimizes the system environment of technology innovation in the industry, and outreach function optimizes external environment of the industry. Finally, it puts forward policy recommendations as follows. In the technological innovation, enterprises should pay more attention to the use of resources of industry associations; And industry associations should play a role of “auxiliaries,” “governors” and “liars”; And should handle the relationship among the government, industry association and enterprise. The research results expand the boundaries of open innovation theory in the aspect of openness, and point out that openness can not only be the source of innovation for corporate technology innovation, but also can be the governance of corporate innovation environment.
