Abstract
Constructing the innovation network is an important means of breakthrough in the traditional manufacturers for the emerging e-commerce platform, based on two different levels of innovation network node, content and structure, YEATION and YOUPIN were chosen to analyse and research the relationship and between knowledge base and the embedding strategy of electric business platform enterprises to create innovation network. To put forward the knowledge base width wider, insufficient depth of the enterprise should adopt structural strategy give priority to relational embeddedness, on the other hand, enterprises of which the depth of knowledge base is deep and width of insufficient shall adopt strategy give priority to the embedding of structure. At the same time, it is proposed that platform enterprises should not adopt a single embeddedness strategy, but should adopt auxiliary embeddedness strategy in a timely manner.
Highlights
As Chesbrough [1] suggested the way products innovated and promoted have been undergoing a reform during the past decades, manufacturers pursuing a expansion toward higher value-add link
This paper involves the selection of strategies for external network embedding based on the internal knowledge base of the enterprise, selecting comparative case study as study method as which is a question of know-how
