A Double Case Study On The Evolution Mechanism Of Enterprise Innovation Network:Entrepreneurship Driven Perspective

In recent years,research on corporate innovation networks has attracted close attention from scholars at home and abroad.Scholars have followed the research on concepts,basic characteristics,evolution,governance,and innovation performance.With the advent of economic globalization,trade between enterprises and enterprises has eliminated barriers at the national borders.Cross-border cooperation between enterprises and enterprises has become more frequent and social networks have become increasingly complex.China has gradually become one of the global sources of innovation.Enterprises no longer complete their innovation activities independently.Instead,they need to be embedded in a global innovation network to start a new model of innovation and seek appropriate and effective ways to establish new competitive advantages.In particular,local manufacturing companies in China face the advent of the “Made in China 2025” and the advent of the Industry 4.0 era,which requires the rapid acquisition and integration of resources in a fiercely competitive environment,reducing the risk of corporate innovation and improving the innovation capability and efficiency of enterprises.The construction and development of the enterprise innovation network is a powerful way to expand resources and establish advantages.An enterprise innovation network can help companies reduce production and innovation costs,enhance their innovation capabilities,and obtain complementary resources.Through the sharing of information,knowledge,and technologies among network entities,they can quickly respond to changes in market environment.Therefore,from a practical perspective,companies must pay attention to the construction and evolution of innovation networks.The research on the development of enterprise innovation activities and networks in developing countries will help China's manufacturing enterprises to broaden their horizons in the process of globalization,absorb the business skills of leading technology companies,enhance their independent innovation capabilities,and realize industry and technology.The upgrade will increase the power of discourse made in China and enhance the competitiveness of Chinese manufacturing.Theoretically,this study can further explore the evolution of corporate innovation networks,deepen the systematic understanding of corporate innovation network theory,and then identify the evolution of corporate innovation networks.Therefore,based on theoretical research and practical needs,this paper adopts the two-cases research method,takes the innovation network evolution of manufacturing enterprises as the main line,and explores the theoretical framework of innovation network evolution mechanism in the process of enterprise globalization from the perspective of entrepreneurship.Hope to solve three problems as follows: The first is to determine the concept and development stage of the enterprise innovation network and analyze the characteristics of the evolutionary environment of enterprise innovation networks at different stages.The second is based on this analysis of the relationship between the corporate innovation network and entrepreneurship,and further analysis of the role of entrepreneurship in the evolution of the corporate innovation network.The third is to discuss the general evolution mechanism of enterprise innovation networks.This paper takes manufacturing enterprises as the research object,through the logic of situation-process-result,discusses the evolution of the enterprise innovation network in the process of globalization,adopts an exploratory double-case study method,and uses Kweichow Moutai and Junsheng Electronics as research samples.This paper studies the evolutionary mechanism of innovation network in the process of enterprise innovation and development,thus identifying the general process of how to promote the evolution of innovation network in the process of interaction between entrepreneurship and relationship embedding.This article analyzes the characteristics of the evolutionary environment of the enterprise innovation network from four aspects: system,economy,technology,and culture.Research shows that with the evolution of corporate innovation networks,the influence of external environmental factors has gradually weakened.This paper discusses the types and characteristics of enterprise innovation networks at different stages according to the three stages of the liquidity period,conversion period,and stabilization period.Research shows that the development of corporate innovation networks is characterized by a self-centered transactional enterprise innovation network,a self-centered cooperative innovation network,and a multi-subject cooperative collaborative innovation network.In the analysis of the evolution path of the corporate innovation network,this paper starts from the logic of “situation-process-result” and finds that in different evolution paths,the relationship embedding and entrepreneurship in different stages show differences.In the market-oriented internal driving path,emotional embedding plays a greater role,accompanied by the emergence of an innovative spirit.In the external driving path based on technology orientation,cultural embedding plays a greater role and is accompanied by an open spirit.In the analysis of the evolution mechanism of the enterprise innovation network,the research shows that the evolution of the enterprise innovation network is mainly based on resource identification,resource readjustment,and resource reconstruction.The evolution path is divided into a market-oriented internal driving path and a technology-oriented external driving path,which presents an inverted U-shaped feature.Among them,in the market-oriented internal driving path,companies mainly adopt adaptive learning to realize the evolution of innovation networks and obtain products,processes,and market innovations.In the external driving path based on technology orientation,enterprises mainly achieved the evolution of innovation networks through active learning,and gained technical capabilities and management capabilities.
