Knowledge Base of Industrial Cluster and Start-ups’ Innovation Performance
نویسنده
چکیده
This study explores the impact of knowledge stock and knowledge centrality, which are the two main characteristics of innovative start-ups’ entry technologies in the local knowledge base, on firms’ technological innovation and diversification. It tests the hypotheses with patent and firmlevel data of innovative start-ups in Shanghai Information Communication Technology cluster from 1985 to 2009. The results show that knowledge stock and centrality has positive influence on firms’ technological innovations in their entry fields. Individually, knowledge stock and centrality has negative impact on start-ups’ technological diversification. However, there is a significant complementary effect on start-ups’ technological diversification between these two factors.
