Abstract:

From the perspective of multiple networks, this paper analyzes the complex effects of partnership and patent citation relationships on firm innovation as important ways of knowledge flow. Taking the ICT industry as an example, based on the industry-university-research institute collaboration patents and patent citations data, it  conducts empirical analysis on 1924 firms by negative binomial regression. The results show that the ego-network dynamics of collaboration networks promote firm innovation performance. The centrality of the patent citation network plays a mediating role between the stability of ego-network in the collaboration network and innovation performance. Firms can improve the centrality in the patent citation network by maintaining valuable stable cooperative relationships to promote knowledge flow, thus improving their innovation performance.  However, the centrality of the patent citation network does not mediate the influence of expansion on firm innovation performance. The structure hole of the collaboration network has a negative moderating effect on the relationship between the centrality of patent citation network and innovation performance, i.e., the higher the level of the cooperation network structural hole, the less the promoting effect of patent citation network centrality on innovation performance. However, the centrality of the collaboration network has no positive moderating effect on the relationship between them. This paper expands the research perspective of knowledge flow and collaborative innovation network and enriches the research on antecedent variables affecting firm innovation. It also has a guiding significance for firm innovation practice.

Key words:

摘要:

研究从多层网络视角剖析产学研合作关系和专利引用关系作为知识流动重要途径对企业创新的综合影响。以ICT产业为例,1 924家企业为研究对象,基于产学研合作专利和专利引用数据,通过负二项回归进行实证分析。结果表明:合作网络中自我中心网络动态性提升企业创新绩效;专利引用网络中心性在合作网络自我中心网络稳定性与创新绩效之间起中介作用,即企业可以通过维持有价值的稳定性合作关系提高其在专利引用网络的中心性来促进知识流动,进而提升创新绩效,而专利引用网络中心性在企业的合作网络自我中心网络扩张性对企业创新绩效的影响中没有起到中介作用;合作网络结构洞在专利引用网络中心性与企业创新绩效之间起负向调节作用,即企业在合作网络中结构洞水平越高,专利引用网络中心性对创新绩效的促进作用越小,而合作网络中心性在两者间没有起到正向调节作用。研究拓展了知识流动与协同创新网络的研究视角,丰富了企业创新前因变量的研究,对企业创新实践具有一定的指导意义。
