摘要

本文结合社会网络理论、知识库理论和吸收能力理论构建了一个概念框架，探讨精英社区动态与内外部知识搜索策略在形成社区创新产出中的相互作用。利用中国节能行业的纵向专利数据，实证证明了社区动态与整体创新产出之间的非线性关系。内部知识搜索调节了这种非线性效应，而外部跨社区搜索不能产生乘法创新收益。通过强调知识边界的二元性，本研究推进了对社区创新机制的理论认识，并为通过平衡动态优化精英社区治理提供了实践指导。

Elite community dynamics, knowledge search, and innovation output –Evidence from energy-saving techniques in China

This paper constructs a conceptual framework combining social network theory, knowledge base view, and absorptive capacity theory to investigate how elite community dynamics interact with internal/external knowledge search strategies in shaping community-level innovation outputs. Employing longitudinal patent data from China's energy-saving sector, we empirically demonstrate the nonlinear relationship between community dynamic and overall innovation outputs. Internal knowledge search moderates this nonlinear effect, whereas external cross-community search fails to produce multiplicative innovation gains. By highlighting the dualistic nature of knowledge boundaries，this work advances theoretical understanding community-based innovation mechanisms and offer practical guidelines for optimizing elite community governance through balanced dynamics.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management. The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning. The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
