Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the position and role with the concepts of structural equivalence in the fuzzy technology innovation network. By means of procedures drawing on the notion of fuzzy structural equivalence from fuzzy social network analysis, a set of roles and positions of fuzzy technology innovation network are delineated. 4 technological positions are clustered on the basis of the influencing factors of fuzzy technology innovation network modes. The factor sufficiently similar in their patterns will be grouped into a block and will be treated as equivalent. We argue that the relationships between positions and roles in the fuzzy technology innovation network are mutual. In addition, the positions in the network form a core and periphery structure. Some technology implications are discussed in the conclusion.
