Research On The Influence Of External Network Characteristics Of Smes On The Complementarity Of Dual Innovation

Under the influence of economic and market environment,more and more enterprises are beginning to value the role of innovation in enhancing their own competitiveness.The existing network resources of enterprises are one of the favorable conditions for enterprises to carry out innovation activities.How to make full use of the existing network resources of the enterprise to achieve higher innovation performance is a problem that enterprises,especially SMEs,think about.Due to the size of enterprises and the competitiveness of products,SMEs are scarce compared to large enterprises.If SMEs can make full use of external network resources suitable for each innovation activity,scientifically adjust the existing external network structure,and even timely storage of the network relationships needed to achieve innovation goals in the future will greatly reduce the risk of innovation failure.This paper collects 182 questionnaires for empirical analysis,reveals the impact of SME external network characteristics on the complementarity of dual innovation,and explores the regulatory role played by environmental competitiveness.First,the characteristics of external networks will have an impact on the complementarity of dual innovation,and the different characteristics of enterprise networks will have different effects on the complementarity of dual innovation.Among them,network scale,network strength and network openness have a positive impact on the complementarity of dual innovation,while network homogeneity has a negative impact on the complementarity of dual innovation.This conclusion no longer uses exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation as the dependent variable,and studies the influence of external networks on the mechanism of dual innovation activities.Instead,it uses the complementarity of dual innovation as a dependent variable to explore the external network on the level of dual innovation structure.Although previous scholars have done a lot of research on network relations and dual-innovation,there are few studies on the dualinnovation structure level,and there is also a lack of systematicity in the study of its independent variables.Through the study of the relationship between external network and the complementarity of dual innovation,this paper enriches the external network related theory.More importantly,this paper emphasizes the level of enterprise's dual innovation complementarity and hopes to provide a brand new perspective of evaluating the innovation activities of enterprises,that is,they no longer only pay attention to the process and mechanism of the creation of dual innovation activities.The correlation effect brought about by the internal structure of dual innovation should also be one of the dimensions for evaluating enterprise innovation activities.Second,this paper introduces environmental competitiveness as a regulatory variable,and deeply studies how environmental competitiveness plays a regulatory role between external networks and the complementarity of dual innovation.The results show that when network homogeneity,network strength and network openness are used as independent variables,when the dual complement innovation complements as the dependent variable,the environmental competition has positive adjustment effects;when the network scale is used as the independent variable,the dual innovation complements environmental variables have no significant regulatory effects when dependent on variables.In the practice of enterprise innovation,the production,transformation and innovation effects of innovation activities are largely related to the intensity of environmental competition.Environmental competitiveness can bring crisis awareness and innovation motivation to enterprises,and speed up the exchange of resources and information in a relational network.Compared with large enterprises with a certain volume,SMEs are more affected by external environmental fluctuations and market competition.In a highly competitive environment,SMEs are more likely to face survival or death,so environmental competitiveness has a great impact on the innovation activities of SMEs.This paper provides theoretical support for the follow-up study of SME innovation activities through the study of the regulatory role of environmental competitiveness.In summary,in the innovation activities of SMEs,the external network characteristics of enterprises will have a significant impact on the complementarity of dual innovation,and environmental competitiveness will regulate the relationship between external networks and the complementarity of dual innovation.This paper provides a theoretical reference for SMEs to rationally adjust the network structure.SMEs can adjust the network structure to the most suitable structure according to their actual situation,the direction of enterprise innovation strategy and the degree of competition in the market environment,and maximize the effect of innovation activities.
