Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper contributes to the empirical identification of the structural positions in network through an exploration of the interactions between R&D activities (patents) and technological areas of patents (technological classifications). Affiliation network analysis was conducted to study the affiliation between patents and technological classifications. We identified some key patents and explored the differentiated positions of the core and periphery. The results of network analysis was further verified by statistical analysis. We found that the impacts of the centralities in position were significant. Technological implications and foresights are discussed in the conclusion.
