| In a knowledge-based society, technology and knowledge are the key source to theorganization to achieve innovation, also get increasing attention of organizations, at the sametime, due to the continuous development of network, enterprise’s environment is also inconstantly changing, so in order to deal with the complicated environment, enterprises shouldimprove their innovation performance and competitive advantage which is very important.Can be found throughout most of the existing research, although the theoretical circle hasdepicted the function mechanism of enterprise network characteristics to the enterpriseinnovation performance, but the research of the function mechanism of enterprise networkpotential to enterprise innovation performance is really few.This study selected industry cluster enterprises in zhejiang province in China as theresearch sample, around the basic problem of "network potential is how to influence thecluster enterprise innovation performance". On the basis of literature review, build thematching model of network potential, organizational learning and enterprise innovationperformance in the industry cluster. First, through the summary of literature, to define theconcept of network potential, and to determine its measuring dimensions; then adopt the wayof questionnaire, finally got129data of cluster enterprise in zhejiang province, and throughthe statistical methods of reliability and validity analysis, correlation analysis and multiplelinear regression analysis to test the hypotheses proposed in this paper. On the basis of thetheory and empirical research, mainly to get the following conclusions:(1) According to the relevant theoretical research, enterprise network potential can bedivided into three dimensions：position centricity, connection strength and resources richness，then study the effects of network potential to cluster enterprise innovation performance.Research results show that the network potential has significant correlation with clusterenterprise innovation performance. Position centricity, connection strength and resourcesrichness all have significant positive influence to enterprise’s innovation performance, thehigher the enterprise’s network potential, or the stronger the coupling strength betweenenterprises, or the more abundant of enterprises’ resources, the more beneficial to theimprovement of enterprises’ innovation performance.(2) Enterprise’s organizational learning is positively related to innovation performance.The stronger the exploratory learning competence, the more benefit to the learning of newtechnology and new knowledge；the stronger the exploitative learning ability, the more helpful to integrate the existing knowledge. Both of exploratory learning and exploitative learningplay a significant role in promoting the innovation performance of enterprises.(3) Between the network potential and the innovation performance of enterprises,organizational learning plays a partial mediation effect. Exploratory learning plays partialmediation effects between the position centricity, the connection strength and innovationperformance; and plays a complete mediating effect between the resource abundance andinnovation performance. Between the location centricity, the connection strength, theresources abundance and innovation performance, exploitative learning plays partialmediation effects. |
