Abstract
Driven by the trend of global economic integration, informationlization and networking, the era of open innovation has arrived. Relationship network has become a new research approach of probing into the enterprises’ innovation, but the results are various. This research draws 114 samples from high-tech enterprises, utilizing structural equation modeling, aiming to explore the relationship among network embeddedness structure, knowledge sharing and innovation performance. Research results show that: (1) Enterprises’ relational embeddedness and structural embeddedness have a significant positive impact on innovation performance; (2) Knowledge sharing is the mediating variable in the path of network embeddedness structure on innovation performance. Hoping these results can enrich related theory, and also provide some practicing guidance for enterprises establishing relationship networks to improve innovation performance.
Highlights
In the era of knowledge economy, the competitiveness of enterprises today largely depends on the innovation performance [1]
(1) The embeddedness relationship in social network can be divided into relational embeddedness and structural embeddedness, different types of network embeddedness structure may have different impacts on innovation performance, but previous researches did not distinguish them; (2) Resource basic concept deems that knowledge is the most important resource to create additional value
(1) The embeddedness relationship in social network can be divided into two dimensions-relational embeddedness and structural embeddedness, but previous researches mostly only selected one of the two dimensions to study, and
Summary
In the era of knowledge economy, the competitiveness of enterprises today largely depends on the innovation performance [1]. The relevant researches about the relationship of network embeddedness structure and innovation performance basically ignored the impact of knowledge sharing. The paper raises the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: Network embeddedness structure does a positive impact on innovation performance. Hypothesis 1-2: Structural embeddedness does a positive impact on enterprise innovation performance.
