在這全球化的浪潮之下，企業必需面對快速的競爭壓力，並且即時回應顧客與市場的新需求，因此發展持續性的創新能力是維持企業競爭力的必要條件。而具有高度靈活度與創新能量的新創企業在這快速競爭的市場中順勢崛起，雖然新創公司在自己的專業領域上具備一定的知識基礎，但在其他資源有限的情況下，仍需要藉助外部網絡來獲取其他資源。然而在資源獲取與交換分享的過程中，組織的吸收能力會如何影響獲取資源的品質，並如何進一步影響新創企業的創新績效是本研究想要探討的主軸。
本研究以資源基礎理論 (resource-based view, RBV)與吸收能力觀點切入，探討新創企業之在內外部資源（網絡資源與知識基礎）與知識分享間之關係；並進一步探討吸收能力是否干擾內外部資源與知識分享間之關係，最後探討知識分享對於創新績效間之影響。
在實證研究方面，以新創公司為研究母體作為問卷發放對象。以經濟部中小企業處所公布「天使與新創資源平台-新創企業資料庫」作為問卷發放對象，實際回收之有效問卷為 154 份。並以此進行資料分析。實證結果發現：(1)新創公司之外部網絡資源（網絡中心性與網絡密度）與知識分享行為有正向顯著影響；(2)內部知識基礎（知識深度與知識廣度）對知識分享行為有正向顯著影響；(3)吸收能力會增強網絡中心性、知識深度與知識分享行為的正向效果；(4)知識分享行為與創新績效具有正向顯著關係。最後，依據本研究的研究結果提出學術貢獻、管理意涵與未來研究方向之建議。

Under the wave of globalization, companies must face rapid competitive pressures as well as meet the demands of customers and market instantly. Therefore, developing a sustainable innovation capability is necessary for maintaining the company’s competitiveness. However, the startups which equipped with the ability of highly flexible and creation are spring up in this fast-competitive market. Although the startup owns knowledge base in its professional field, it still needs to obtain complementary resources by external networks to filling up the shortage. Nevertheless, during the process of resource sharing and acquisition, how the absorption capacity of the organization affects the quality of obtaining resource and further influences the innovation performance.
Therefore, this study has been complied the relationship between resource-based view (RBV) and absorptive capacity to explore the relationship of startup between internal, external resources (i.e., network resources and knowledge base) and knowledge sharing. Second, exploring whether absorptive capability interferes with the relationship among internal, external resources and knowledge sharing. Finally, we explored the impact between knowledge sharing and innovation performance.
The sample of this study is based on “Angel and New Resource Platform – New Enterprise Database” published by the Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2018. There were 154 valid questionnaires collected. The empirical results of this study shows that: (1) External resources (i.e., network centrality and network density) have positive impact on knowledge sharing; (2) Internal knowledge bases (knowledge depth and knowledge breadth) have positive impact on knowledge sharing; (3) Absorptive capability enhances the positive effect of network centrality, knowledge depth and knowledge sharing; (4) Knowledge sharing has positive impact on innovation performance. Finally, based on the results of the research, this study proposed theoretical and practical implications and some recommendations for future research.
