摘要

企业可以通过超越其地理和认知边界的企业间关系（即与其他地区和活跃在不同领域的企业的关系）来寻求非冗余信息。对于企业在何种条件下从这种高风险/高收益战略中获益，我们知之甚少。我们利用 60 万家德国企业的网站文本和关系内容，创建了一个数字层。我们的研究结果表明，来自不同领域的企业之间的紧密关系（与共同的第三方合作伙伴的关系）以及地区间关系与企业的创新水平呈正相关。我们还发现，弱关系和强关系的特定组合能带来更大的创新效益。

Leveraging the digital layer: the strength of weak and strong ties in bridging geographic and cognitive distances

Firms may seek non-redundant information through inter-firm relations beyond their geographic and cognitive boundaries (i.e., relations with firms in other regions and active in different fields). Little is known about the conditions under which firms benefit from this high-risk/high-gain strategy. We created a digital layer of 600,000 German firms by using their websites’ textual and relational content. Our results suggest that strong relations (relations with common third partners) between firms from different fields and inter-regional relations are positively associated with a firm’s innovation level. We also found that a specific combination of weak and strong relations confers greater innovation benefits.

期刊介绍： The aims of the Journal of Economic Geography are to redefine and reinvigorate the intersection between economics and geography, and to provide a world-class journal in the field. The journal is steered by a distinguished team of Editors and an Editorial Board, drawn equally from the two disciplines. It publishes original academic research and discussion of the highest scholarly standard in the field of ''economic geography'' broadly defined. Submitted papers are refereed, and are evaluated on the basis of their creativity, quality of scholarship, and contribution to advancing understanding of the geographic nature of economic systems and global economic change.
