Abstract
This study delves into the bidirectional relationship between collaboration network stability (CS) and technological innovation performance (TIP), and the moderating effect of knowledge network characteristics. Using patent data gathered from China's biotechnology industry between 1985 and 2022, we develop a simultaneous equation model and employ a three-stage least squares estimation to explore the bidirectional relationship between CS and TIP, as well as to reveal the underlying moderating mechanisms. The results indicate that CS and TIP affect each other. The impact of CS on TIP has an inverted U-shape, and TIP exerts a negative impact on CS. Knowledge network stability (KS) and diversity (KD) weaken the inverted U-shaped influence of CS on TIP.
本研究探讨了协作网络稳定性(CS)与技术创新绩效(TIP)之间的双向关系,以及知识网络特征的调节作用。利用1985-2022年间中国生物技术产业的专利数据,我们建立了一个同步方程模型,并采用三阶段最小二乘法估计,探讨了CS与TIP之间的双向关系,并揭示了其背后的调节机制。结果表明,CS 和 TIP 相互影响。CS 对 TIP 的影响呈倒 U 型,TIP 对 CS 有负面影响。知识网络稳定性(KS)和多样性(KD)削弱了 CS 对 TIP 的倒 U 型影响。
期刊介绍:
Creativity and Innovation Management bridges the gap between the theory and practice of organizing imagination and innovation. The journal''s central consideration is how to challenge and facilitate creative potential, and how then to embed this into results-oriented innovative business development. The creativity of individuals, coupled with structured and well-managed innovation projects, creates a sound base from which organizations may operate effectively within their inter-organizational and societal environment. Today, successful operations must go hand in hand with the ability to anticipate future opportunities. Therefore, a cultural focus and inspiring leadership are as crucial to an organization''s success as efficient structural arrangements and support facilities. This is reflected in the journal''s contents: -Leadership for creativity and innovation; the behavioural side of innovation management. -Organizational structures and processes to support creativity and innovation; interconnecting creative and innovative processes. -Creativity, motivation, work environment/creative climate and organizational behaviour, creative and innovative entrepreneurship. -Deliberate development of creative and innovative skills including the use of a variety of tools such as TRIZ or CPS. -Creative professions and personalities; creative products; the relationship between creativity and humour; arts and amp; humanities side of creativity.
