Cooperative Evolution of China’s Excellent Innovative Research Groups from the Perspective of Innovation Ecosystem: Taking an “Environmental Biogeochemistry” Research Innovation Group as a Case Study

“…Subsequently, Eisenhardt and his collaborators also paid more attention to the theory and practice of micro-foundations, i.e., small organization systems, and team development in dynamic environments [ 18 ]. Some scholars have also conducted benchmarking analysis, feature transmission, and case reasoning research on regional innovation ecosystem or specific innovation problems based on TRIZ-related theories and methods [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. However, this study mainly analyzes the governance evolution mechanism and the development of innovation cooperation networks of an innovative research group.…”

“…At the same time, there have been many empirical studies based on hypothesis analysis and many studies on connotation framework [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Some scholars suggest using the TRIZ theory and method in the analysis of regional ecosystem theoretical model and so on [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. Among them, the TRIZ theory and method system were summarized and proposed by Soviet scientists in their studies on patent analysis and innovation, and the subsequent development and gradual transition and enriched from the classic TRIZ to the modern TRIZ theory [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

“…Among them, the TRIZ theory and method system were summarized and proposed by Soviet scientists in their studies on patent analysis and innovation, and the subsequent development and gradual transition and enriched from the classic TRIZ to the modern TRIZ theory [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. The common innovative problem-solving tools of the classic TRIZ theory include technological evolution trend, conflict analysis and invention principle, Ariz algorithm, etc., while the later developed modern TRIZ theory added benchmarking analysis, feature transfer, function-oriented search, function analysis and cutting method, root cause analysis, failure prediction analysis, and many other methods and tools [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. The early classic TRIZ theory focused on how to solve invention problems, while the later developed modern TRIZ theory has been better at analyzing and discovering key problems [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ].…”

Currently, research on the TRIZ theory is also combined with various new algorithms, new theories, and new methods for model design, science and technology evaluation, case reasoning, etc., and its application in the research on innovation ecosystem has also begun to appear [ 28 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ].…”

This study mainly uses the mainstream exploratory case study method for the research on innovation ecosystem, coupled with the scientometric method and visual analysis of knowledge maps, to understand the cooperative evolution process of an innovation team, especially to show the evolution and development of an innovation cooperation network with knowledge maps.…”
