Abstract

Innovation is the main driving force for promoting high-quality economic development. The ability for knowledge innovation and knowledge transformation productivity reflects the ability for scientific research transformation and the comprehensive strength of the science and technology of the country. This paper takes the knowledge innovation literature collected in the Web of Science database as its research object, carries on the knowledge atlas analysis with Citespace IV software, makes a knowledge atlas of the space-time distribution, document co-citation and keyword co-occurrence, respectively, and further explores the distribution status, changing trend and hot areas of knowledge innovation research. (1) American and British scholars have led the research in knowledge innovation, and Chinese scholars have followed the international frontier in this field; (2) The research evolution path of knowledge innovation can be summarized as follows: the research object is gradually detailed from the macro-enterprise level to the micro-enterprise level. The research hotspots are as follows: (3) The four hotspots of knowledge innovation research are based on research on the knowledge innovation system within enterprises, research on the knowledge innovation mode based on innovation cooperation among enterprises, and research on the knowledge innovation among enterprises based on inter-organizational knowledge. Research on the knowledge innovation path of knowledge sharing and enterprise knowledge innovation development is based on the global strategic orientation. This paper clarifies the evolution path and development trend of knowledge innovation research, offering a summary for further research and motivating professionals to research future knowledge innovation.

Highlights

Summary

Introduction

Science and technology are the foundation for a country to develop its comprehensive national strength, while innovation is the inherent requirement for technological improvement and the driving force for economic development. Nonaka argued that short-term efficiency makes a sacrifice for knowledge innovation activities, but that it will improve the long-term performance of the firm and build a framework for knowledge innovation study This theory has aroused great attention from academic scholars and the business sector in terms of the process of further development. The quantitative visualization of the evolution of knowledge innovation is useful because it complements and validates the conclusions of scholars based on qualitative evaluations, as well as quantitatively demonstrating the way in which knowledge innovation is developed [11] In this quantitative review, we can examine the profile and development of the knowledge innovation field and objectively and intuitively provide an overall overview. Our research motivates professionals to research future knowledge innovation
