Abstract:

What is the relationship of collaborative innovation between Chinese enterprises and innovation entities in the innovation chain, such as industry-university-research, suppliers or the government, on their innovation performance? What are the differences in the impact of different innovation structures and connection modes adopted by Chinese enterprises on their innovation performance? Regarding these questions, there are theoretical disputes in the existing research. From the perspective of innovation chain, this paper conducts a meta-analysis of 37,257 independent samples from 93 studies. It is found that the collaboration between enterprise and industry-university-research is moderately positively related to innovation performance. The connection between enterprises and subjects of the supply chain is moderately positively related to innovation performance, while the connection between enterprises and the government has a low degree of positive correlation with innovation performance. The structure mode enterprises adopt point-to-point and network and the connection means to cooperation are moderately positively related to innovation performance, while the structure mode of transaction is positively related to innovation performance. This paper provides practical certain implications on enterprise innovation, the enact of national innovation system, and fusion on innovation chain and industrial chain.
