Research On Dual Embeddedness Of Science And Technology Intermediaries And Its Action Mechanism On The Capability Of Collaborative Innovative Network

Collaborative innovation network is the inevitable trend of innovation from junior to senior development.The growth path of collaborative innovation networks should be in two directions: one longitudinal growth path relies on the capacity growth of the innovation network nodes for overall innovation capacity building of the network;the second is the lateral growth path,that relies on innovation network nodes’ lateral link for the promotion of each complementary capabilities and the main resource shared to enhance the innovation capability of the network as a whole.Relying on science and technology intermediaries innovative subjectives have established the horizontal multi-dimensional network relations,which is an important way to the establishment of updating their knowledge,technology creation,technology market-oriented transverse junctions,and this approach will help achieve innovative knowledge and technology sharing,and promote the network to enhance innovation capability through lateral growth path.Therefore,how to rely on the role of science and technology intermediary organizations to promote innovative capability upgrading of the collaborative innovative network is getting attention by scholars.From the point of view of the current academic research,dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries in social network and innovative network is to be explored,and the relations of dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries in social network and innovative network and innovative capability upgrading of the collaborative innovative network is to be dig.Thus,based on collaborative innovative network,the present study has been to sort and summarize basic theory of science and technology intermediaries,dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries,collaborative innovative network,innovation ability,and from the two angles of the science and technology intermediaries actively embedding and collaborative innovative network innovation’s need of science and technology intermediaries actively embedding the study has been to discover dynamic factors and embedding conditions of dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries;from the embedding paths,embedding modes and embedding levels the study has mined the evolutionary mechanism of dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries in each stage of the evolutionary path.Through to establish Game analysis model of the powers of collaborative innovation network,the research has established internal mechanism dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries in collaborativeinnovative network;the study has analyze the tendency of the advantages of embedding modes of science and technology intermediaries in collaborative innovative network based on influencing factors in the interactive context of social network and innovative network;based on dual innovative capability,the research has built the relational model by the logic of ‘dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries-embedding modes of technology intermediaries-innovative capability upgrading of the collaborative innovative network’,and through empirical research verified the influence of dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries to innovative capability upgrading of the collaborative innovative network.The research in the following areas has done a thorough theoretical exploration:Firstly,the meaning of dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries has been defined.The study has defined that dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries is the phenomenon of science and technology intermediaries embedded in social network and innovative network at the same time,including the embeddedness in social network and the embeddedness in innovative network.In dual embeddedness the embeddedness in social network includes the descriptions of the basic connotations of the embeddedness in environment,inter-organizational embeddedness and binary the embeddedness;the embeddedness in innovative networks includes the descriptions of the basic connotations of the embeddedness in innovative generating network which reveals the links within science and technology intermediaries and the innovative body of the network including R & D-oriented enterprises,universities,research institutions that reflect in the process of interaction in the innovation and development between the parties and the embeddedness in innovation diffusion network which reveals science and technology intermediaries and the innovative body of the network including the enterprises based on applications and other technology services institutions where the associations with each other in the flow of information through the innovation flow,technology flow and human resources flow and other factors of production activities are to promote effective diffusion of innovation.Secondly,the analysis on dynamic factors and the evolution of dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries.The condition needs of dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries includes: science and technology intermediaries’ central position,linkages between social network,science and technology intermediaries’ legitimacy in innovative network and theheterogeneity of innovative network;by summary,the dynamic factors of science and technology intermediaries embedded in the networks include exogenous and endogenous dynamic power,while exogenous power is mainly the demand of other actors in networks for science and technology intermediaries,including transaction costs and demand conditions of supply and demand by compensation side,the endogenous driving force is mainly that science and technology intermediaries’ s positioning itself brings the actual and potential profit-driven and informal institutional pressures.This helps to learn more about the inevitability and necessity of existencescience dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries.From three perspectives of the embedding paths,embedding modes and embedding levels,the study has researched the embedding characteristics of science and technology intermediaries in the evolution of the process stages of "Early embedded-semi embedded-entirely embedded",which helps the clarify the reason mechanism of dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries and the reasons in regularity of the influence dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries to innovative capability upgrading of the industry-university-institution collaborative innovative network.Thirdly,the research on internal mechanism dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries in collaborative innovative network from the game theory of the powers of innovative subjectives.Through to establish Game analysis model of the powers of collaborative innovation network,the research has find the impact parameters of the network evolution and combined with game analysis results and the demand classification for each other and the external network of production side and gakken-side,has made the establishment of requirements changing model collaborative innovation network in non-equilibrium conditions of the powers,and dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries in different types of demand conditions has been divided into the following three categories: embededness by innovation capital driven,embededness by markt capitale driven,embededness by social capital driven.Where sembededness by social capital driven can be divided into push-pull embededness by social capital driven,and has digged out internal mechanism dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries of different types of embeddedness in collaborative innovative network,including the mechanism of introduction,the mechanism of joint,the mechanism of lever and the mechanism of radiation.Fourthly,under the dual embedded situation the tendency of the advantages ofembedding modes of science and technology intermediaries in collaborative innovative network.Research from the interactive situations conditions has found the following conclusions: at the interaction situations of high legitimacy of science and technology intermediaries in innovative network and high heterogeneous social network,science and technology intermediaries’ relational embeddedness in industry-university-institution collaborative innovative network has a positive effect on enhancing the overall innovative capability of industry-university-institution collaborative innovative network;in the interactions situations of the more central position in social network and highly heterogeneous industry-university-institution collaborative innovative network,science and technology intermediaries’ structural embeddedness has a positive effect on enhancing the overall innovative capability of industry-university-institution collaborative innovative network;and in the interaction situations of low degree associations and highly heterogeneous condition,network freedom mechanism dominantly operates,while the influence of embedding modes of science and technology intermediaries to overall innovative capability upgrading of collaborative innovative network is affected by more complex factors.Fifthly,the influence of dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries in social network and innovative network to innovative capability upgrading of the collaborative innovative network as well as intermediaries role of embedding mode in the relationship between the two.The study has found: the embeddedness in social network of science and technology intermediaries has a significant positive effect on coverall innovative capability upgrading of collaborative innovative network;the embeddedness in innovative network of science and technology intermediaries has a significant positive effect on coverall innovative capability upgrading of industry-university-institution collaborative innovative network.At the same time science and technology intermediaries’ embedding mode has intermediaries role in the relationship between "dual embeddedness of science and technology intermediaries-innovation
