Abstract
Researchers have argued that alliance network structure can influence firm innovation. We construct alliance networks of 10 high-technology industries in China to analyze their structure characteristics. We use negative binomial regression to study the impact of alliance network structure on the innovation capability of firms. The empirical results show that firms embedded in alliance networks with higher reach will have greater innovative output, and the impact of clustering on the innovation capability of firms is not significant, but the alliance networks that exhibit both high reach and high clustering will obviously improve the innovation capability of firms. These conclusions will provide new scientific basis for firms to develop alliance activities and for relevant government departments to make industrial policies.
