Collaborative Innovation Network, Knowledge Base, and Technological Innovation Performance-Thinking in Response to COVID-19

Abstract

Amid the pandemic of COVID-19, the collaborative innovation network of enterprises is conducive to the sharing of innovation resources, knowledge transfer, and technology diffusion, which is closely related to the improvement of corporate technological innovation performance. Based on the patent application data of listed enterprises in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai in China, this study constructs a cooperation matrix, describes the characteristics of collaborative innovation network from two dimensions of network structure and network relationship, introduces the breadth of the knowledge base as a moderating variable, and analyzes the nexus between characteristics of a collaborative innovation network and technological innovation performance. Based on the panel data of 193 listed companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, this study uses a multiple linear regression model for empirical analysis. The results show a U-shaped relationship between clustering coefficient and technological innovation performance. The breadth of knowledge base strengthens the positive relationship between the structural hole and technological innovation performance. In contrast, the breadth of knowledge base weakens the positive relationship between network relationships strength and technological innovation performance. The study findings will enhance enterprises’ participation in a suitable collaborative innovation according to their knowledge-based characteristics and improve the technological innovation performance.

Investigation of Nexus between Knowledge Learning and Enterprise Green Innovation Based on Meta-Analysis with a Focus on China

“…However, no enterprise can create all the required knowledge for innovation only by internal resources. Even large enterprises with a strong technical force can do nothing without collaboration [51,52]. Therefore, searching for external knowledge and acquiring more critical resources that enterprises lack in their development is the key to better adapting to external environment shocks.…”

“…Researchers have classified green innovation according to different classification standards [94,[96][97][98]. According to innovation contents, green innovation was divided into green product innovation, green process innovation, green management innovation, and green marketing innovation terminal technology; however, the former two are primarily investigated [52,[94][95][96][97][98]. According to innovation intensity, green innovation was mainly grouped into progressive green innovation and breakthrough green innovation.…”

“…Therefore, an industry type was another variable that might affect the relationship between knowledge learning and green enterprise innovation. Some enterprises had a strong ability to acquire external knowledge and industry collaboration [29,52], which further affected green enterprise innovation. The research samples were coded into manufacturing enterprises, resource-based enterprises, and green-oriented enterprises in this study.…”

Empreendedorismo acadêmico e o desenvolvimento de soluções para o enfrentamento da covid-19: universidades federais de Minas Gerais

“…Cooperações são positivas para inovações ( JIALU et al, 2021), nesse sentido P3 ressaltou que existe a formação de iniciativas grupais, ou seja, grupos se juntam para realizar projetos de valores maiores, assim, está sendo formado um ecossistema que irá propiciar iniciativas com o setor produtivo. Esses agrupamentos em prol de pesquisas inovativas e resultados positivos em registros de patentes poderiam ser mais bem aproveitadas com um grupo diverso e não somente em um único setor (DIETZ; BOZEMAN, 2005).…”

“…Governos adotaram medidas de prevenção, a título de exemplo o distanciamento social, o uso de máscara e o fechamento de comércios, com o intuito de reduzir a propagação da doença, todavia essas medidas se tornaram rotinas, o que impactou a economia global KATAFUCHI et al, 2020). Nesse sentido, grande choque na atividade econômica poderá ser sentido em longa duração ( JIALU et al, 2021;MANDEL;VEETIL, 2020).…”
