[目的/意義]近年來,各地區著力構建區域創新軟環境,積極推動區域內中小企業的創新發展。但由于中小企業自身未能充分認識、把握軟環境提供的優勢,導致對外部競爭情報應用不足,競爭優勢反而變弱勢。[方法/過程]文章基于歸因論的思想,結合中小企業的特點,構建中小企業生命周期與技術創新力度的關系模型,指出研究技術創新階段的中小企業行為是研究中小企業創新行為的重點。通過對大量文獻的研究,探索性地構建了區域創新軟環境對中小企業競爭情報的影響過程圖,以及區域創新軟環境對中小企業競爭情報的作用模型。[結果/結論]根據模型,提供了針對中小企業層面,利用區域創新軟環境開展競爭情報工作的途徑,為中小企業實施環境戰略來促進競爭情報工作的開展起到一定的指導作用。

[Purpose/significance] In recent years,regions across the country focus on building regional innovation soft environment,and actively promote the innovation and development of small and medium-sized enterprises( SMEs). However,as the SMEs can not fully understand and grasp the advantages of soft environment,they lack of external competitive intelligence application,which weakens their competitive advantages. [Method/process]Based on attribution theory and characteristics of SMEs,the model of the relationship between the life cycle of SMEs and level of technological innovation is constructed. It is pointed out that the behavior of SMEs in the stage of technological innovation is the key to the research of SMEs’ innovation behavior. Through a large number of literature research,the paper attempts to construct the influencing process map of the regional innovation soft environment on the competitive intelligence of SMEs,and build the model of how regional innovation soft environment functions in the competitive intelligence work of SMEs. [Result/conclusion] According to the model,the paper provides a way to carry out competitive intelligence work by using the regional innovation soft environment for SMEs,which can guide the SMEs implementing environmental strategy to promote the development of competitive intelligence work.
