Abstract

The factors that influence enterprise innovation are complex and vague under the increasingly intense market competition and rapidly developed technology. Traditional social network analysis in inter-firm alliance network can not meet requirements of finding the relationship between affiliation and technological innovation precisely. To fill up this gap, in this paper we apply fuzzy theory to analysis of inter-firm alliance network by constructing alliance network using data of collaboration time span instead of binary data. Then we use fuzzy social network analysis to analyze the fuzzy centrality. By doing these analysis, we expand the research on inter-firm alliance network and give a new insight into enterprise innovation.
