Zusammenfassung

In diesem Beitrag erläutern wir die Eigenschaften, die ein innovationsförderliches Partnerportfolio besitzen sollte, und analysieren, mit welchen Herausforderungen der Aufbau eines solchen Portfolios verbunden ist. Wir argumentieren aus theoretischer Perspektive, dass Unternehmen generell zum Aufbau von homogenen „Play it safe“-Netzwerken tendieren, und erläutern, warum diese Tendenz gerade bei der digitalen Transformation die Innovations- und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit unterminieren kann. Basierend auf einer empirischen Studie in der deutschen Energiebranche verdeutlichen wir diese Problematik und zeigen auf, dass sich die Partnerportfolios innovativer und weniger innovativer Unternehmen signifikant unterscheiden. Während insgesamt die Tendenz zu „Play it safe“-Netzwerken klar erkennbar ist, sind die Partnerportfolios der innovationsstärksten Unternehmen eindeutig heterogener und ressourcenreicher. Top Performer gehen so insgesamt strategischer vor und verfolgen einen „Play to win“-Ansatz.

Zur Bestimmung der Innovationsleistung wurden die Befragten gebeten, zu bewerten, inwiefern ihr Unternehmen neue Produkte und Dienstleistungen in den Markt einführt, bestehende Produkte und Dienstleistungen erweitert und verbessert, sowie in die Entwicklung und Erprobung neuer Technologien investiert. Zur Triangulation dieser Messgröße wurden Unternehmenshomepages, Pressemitteilungen und Geschäftsberichte im Hinblick auf Initiativen der Unternehmen zu den aktuellen Innovationsthemen in der Energiebranche wie „Smart Home“, „Virtuelle Kraftwerke“ oder „Elektromobilität“ (Edelmann 2015) ausgewertet. Zudem wurden die Siegerlisten der wichtigsten branchenbezogenen Innovationspreise (z. B. VKU-Innovationspreis (VKU 2018)) nach den an der Untersuchung beteiligten Unternehmen gescannt. Beide Analysen deuten auf eine hohe Validität der in der Studie erhaltenen Angaben hin.

Aus Komplexitätsgründen bilden wir in diesem Beitrag nur die Kombinationen von Diversität, Innovativität und Komplementarität ab. Für organisationale Ähnlichkeit, Bestehensdauer der Beziehung, strukturelle Äquivalenz und Zusammenarbeit im operativen Tagesgeschäft ergibt sich jeweils ein ähnliches Bild.
