Research on the Impact of Regional Innovation Cooperation Network on Technological Innovation Performance: Based on the Yangtze River Delta
Abstract
[Purpose/Significance] Based on the moderating effect of regional innovation cooperation network's clustering coefficient and average shortest path length, the paper analyzes the impact of enterprise centrality in network on technological innovation performance, in order to provide reference to enterprise innovation management. [Method/Process] Using patent data to construct patent cooperation networks, this paper builds a theoretical model measuring technological innovation performance of an enterprise, with degree centrality and betweenness centrality of the enterprise in the network as independent variables, with the clustering coefficient and average shortest path length of patent cooperation network as a moderator variable. [Results/Conclusions] The empirical study in the field of integrated circuit technology in the Yangtze River Delta is carried out and the stepwise multiple linear regression results show the following conclusions. The density of cooperation network, the accumulation of technological innovation, the number of R&D personnel, and the intensity of R&D investment in the province where the firm is located have a significant positive impact on the firm's technological innovation performance. Compared with enterprises and research institutes, when enterprises cooperate with universities, their technological innovation performance is more favorable. The degree centrality and the betweenness centrality of a firm in the cooperation network have a significant positive impact on the firm's technological innovation performance. The average shortest path length has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between intermediary centrality and firms' technological innovation performance. The longer the average shortest path length is, the more obvious the positive effect of intermediary centrality on firms' technological innovation performance is. Through the empirical analysis, the paper reveals the influence mechanism of regional innovation cooperation network on firms' technological innovation performance. The position (center, intermediary) of firms in the cooperation network has a significant influence on firms' technological innovation performance, and the structural attribute of the cooperation network has a significant moderating effect on this effect. Based on the analysis results, countermeasures and suggestions are put forward to improve the technological innovation performance of enterprises.
