The Influence Of Collaborative Innovation Network Characteristics On Enterprise Innovation Performance

At present,we have going to the era of knowledge economy,in which both products and technology get more complicated,and innovation speed becomes faster.In this context,limitations of the individual innovation become increasingly prominent.With the continuous exploration,the mood of diversified collaborative innovation in the network was born in time.Innovation activities changed from the closed traditional single subject to opening and integrating.Through collaborative innovation with related organizations,universities,governments and other external subjects,enterprises can build collaborative innovation network through interaction and connection,so that they can improve their own innovation ability by giving play to the network synergy effect.Knowledge,as an internal factor to the performance,is the key link of collaborative innovation.Existing studies have found that improving the efficiency of knowledge transfer can promote the circulation of knowledge in the network and strengthen the collaboration and complementary of knowledge among various innovation subjects,so as to improve the level and performance of collaborative innovation.Based on this,this paper determined the independent variables as the network centrality,relationship strength and network scale of collaborative innovation network characteristics,explored their effects on the dependent variables of innovation performance,and introduced the knowledge transfer efficiency as the mediating variable.Through this research,it is clear that what kind of characteristics of collaborative innovation network can make enterprises play the synergistic effect better and make the innovation performance stronger.It can provide reference for enterprises to construct collaborative innovation network,so as to select innovation subjects more effectively.At the same time,it can provide guidance for enterprises in the collaborative innovation network,so as to improve their collaborative innovation performance more effectively.This study sorts out the social network theory and organizational learning theory at first.And then,reviewing the existing involved literature and summarizing the viewpoints.On this basis,empirical analysis was carried out,and hypothesis testing was conducted based on 234 questionnaire survey data.The following research results were obtained:(1)the characteristics of collaborative innovation network,networkcentrality and relationship strength are positively correlated with enterprise innovation performance.(2)the characteristics of collaborative innovation networks,network centrality and relationship strength all positively affect the efficiency of knowledge transfer;(3)the efficiency of knowledge transfer mediates the relationship between characteristics of collaborative innovation network and enterprises innovation performance.The research results show that: enterprises should strengthen the relationship with other organizations in the collaborative innovation network,improve the network centrality of themselves in the network,and pay attention to the communication and learning with other organizations,so that they can obtain more external new knowledge and technical resources;At the same time,enterprises should effectively absorb,transform and apply the transferred knowledge,fully explore the value,and improve the efficiency of knowledge transfer,so as to give better play to the synergistic effect and ultimately improve their own innovation performance.
