Impacts of Network Embeddedness Structure on Innovation Performance
نویسنده
چکیده
Driven by the trend of global economic integration, informationlization and networking, the era of open innovation has arrived. Relationship network has become a new research approach of probing into the enterprises’ innovation, but the results are various. This research draws 114 samples from high-tech enterprises, utilizing structural equation modeling, aiming to explore the relationship among network embeddedness structure, knowledge sharing and innovation performance. Research results show that: (1) Enterprises’ relational embeddedness and structural embeddedness have a significant positive impact on innovation performance; (2) Knowledge sharing is the mediating variable in the path of network embeddedness structure on innovation performance. Hoping these results can enrich related theory, and also provide some practicing guidance for enterprises establishing relationship networks to improve innovation performance.

Cliques Role in Organizational Reputational Influence: A Social Network Analysis
Empirical support for the assumption that cliques are major determinants of reputational influence derives largely from the frequent finding that organizations which claimed that their cliques’ connections are influential had an increased likelihood of becoming influential themselves. It is suggested that the strong and consistent connection in cliques is at least partially responsible for the ...
متن کاملSTRUCTURAL vs. RELATIONAL EMBEDDEDNESS: SOCIAL CAPITAL AND MANAGERIAL PERFORMANCE
This paper examines the impact of managers’ social capital on managerial performance. Two dimensions of social capital are compared—the structural embeddedness (i.e., configuration) of a manager’s network of work relations and the relational embeddedness (i.e., quality) of those relations. Based on a sample of 120 product and sales managers in a Fortune 100 pharmaceutical firm, this paper prese...

متن کاملThe Influence of Supply Network Structure on Firm Innovation Performance
In this study, we examine the structural characteristics of supply chains as networks and investigate how supply network structure impacts firm innovation. Specifically, we investigate the relationship between three supply network characteristics (supply network interconnectedness, supply network accessibility, and supply network partner innovativeness) and a firm’s innovation output. Our findi...
متن کاملMerit-infonomics Research Memorandum Series Networks as Emergent Structures from Bilateral Collaboration Networks as Emergent Structures from Bilateral Collaboration *
In this paper we model the formation of innovation networks as they emerge from bilateral actions. The effectiveness of a bilateral collaboration is determined by cognitive, relational and structural embeddedness. Innovation results from the recombination of knowledge held by the partners to the collaboration, and the extent to which agents’ knowledge complement each others is an issue of cogni...
