The Relationship between R&D Intensity, Network Relationships, and Innovation Performance – Taking High tech Enterprises in Zhejiang Province as an Example

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of government subsidies and intellectual property protection on corporate R&D investment from the perspective of the external innovation environment; second, based on the research paradigm of “structure-behavior-innovation performance” (SCP), from the perspective of organizational behavior, The research design is developed to study the relationship between certain network characteristics and innovation performance. However, these research paradigms may ignore the active role of innovation subjects in the construction of network relationships across organizational levels, network opportunities, and resource development and utilization. This thesis takes high-tech enterprises as the main body, opens the black box of the impact of R&D intensity on innovation performance, and emphasizes how R&D investment can improve the efficiency of R&D results transformation through the strengthening of network relationship (network centrality, network density). At the same time, it can attract more potential partners to actively seek cooperation, and continuously improve the core competitiveness and management capabilities of the enterprise. Firstly, the variables studied and related theories were sorted out through literature review, and the concept of consistency of innovation tendencies was initially defined. Afterwards, based on the analysis of typical cases, the theoretical model and research hypothesis of the influence of R&D intensity on innovation performance through network relationship under the regulation of consistency of innovation tendencies were proposed, and the mechanism of R&D intensity on innovation performance was deeply excavated.
