“…Social network analysis (SNA) has been particularly popular among economics and management scholars to study collaboration networks, knowledge spillovers or the development of technologies (Arranz et al, 2020). SNA is an excellent tool for understanding and disentangling the complex relations between different economic actors as it allows the distinguishing of structures in the NIS according to the relations between the system's components, rather than the attributes of individual cases (Newman, 2001;Guan and Zhao, 2013).…”

“…Furthermore, the primary focus of social network theory is on explaining how patterns of social ties produce better economic outcomes and why interorganizational networks are formed, collapse, success, or fail (Echols and Tsai, 2005; Galaskiewicz, 2011). Therefore, social network theory is useful in the analysis of influences of the structural position in facilitating firms’ knowledge creation process (Arranz et al , 2020; Liao and Phan, 2016).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to analyze the extent to which the influence of external knowledge search activities on firms’ incremental innovation capability, and the moderating roles of the relatedness between the partners’ technological bases and a firm’s network embeddedness in the innovation network.Design/methodology/approachIn this empirical research, the authors collected a sample of patents in the UAV industry over the period of 2004–2018. Then the authors examined the direct role of external knowledge search on firms’ incremental innovation capability and the joint moderating effects of technological proximity and network embeddedness.FindingsWe found that external knowledge search in innovation networks positively affects firms’ incremental innovation capability. Moreover, we discovered that high technological proximity to other peers positively strengthens the impact of firms’ external knowledge search on their incremental innovation capability. Finally, the findings suggested that the relationship between a firm’s external knowledge search activities and its incremental innovation capability is stronger for high technological proximity coupled with high network centrality or poor structural holes in innovation networks.Originality/valueThis study adds value to open innovation literature by pointing out a positive relationship between external knowledge search and firm incremental innovation capability. Furthermore, this study reinforces the key joint contingent roles of technological proximity and network embeddedness. This study provides a valuable theoretical framework of incremental innovation capability determinants by connecting the different perspectives.

“…Studies relations embedded effects on business performance, Mcevily et al [33] think mutual problem solving can help companies acquire tacit knowledge, each other trust and information sharing, in turn, affect the ability of the enterprise and the role of performance, Wu's [34] research also shows that the relationship between the three dimensions of (trust, information sharing and joint problem solving) has a significant influence on incubation performance respectively. From the perspective of structural embedding, Arranz et al [35] found that structural embedding of different dimensions had different effects on project performance, and Mandakini et al [36] concluded that network density and centrality had positive effects on enterprise performance. From the perspective of start-up stage, when a start-up enterprise is in its initial stage, its performance is significantly affected by local network embedding.…”

Global talents are introduced for entrepreneurship and development in China, which is not only a significant way to gather heterogeneous human capital and realize industrial transformation and upgrading in a short period of time, but also a strategic measure to drive innovative development and build an innovative country relying on talents. The regional innovation network gathers innovation elements such as upstream and downstream enterprises, universities and scientific research institutes in the industrial chain, which provides great information and resource support for global talents to gather innovation and entrepreneurship in China. Taking global talents in China as the research object, this paper constructs the relationship model among perceived organizational support, innovation network embeddedness and entrepreneurship performance in innovation network and conducts empirical research. The survey data of Global Talents in China was analyzed by SPSS 24.0 and MPLUS 7.4. The results show that the two dimensions of perceived organizational support instrumentality and emotionality have significant positive impact on entrepreneurial performance and innovation network embeddedness; while innovation network embeddedness has significant positive effects on entrepreneurial performance, but the influence of structural embeddedness is more significant than that of relational embeddedness; relational embeddedness and structural embeddedness play a partial mediating role in the influence of instrumental support and emotional support on technological innovation performance, while structural embeddedness plays a complete mediating role in the influence of instrumental support and emotional support on growth potential performance. Based on the results of empirical research, the paper proposes to further optimize the allocation of network resources, strengthen emotional support, expand the scale of innovative network, and strive to create an international talent development environment that is similar to overseas.
