“…The central position of a firm with numerous interorganizational ties is both prestigious and influential (Gnyawali and Madhavan, ; Mazzola et al, ). In consideration of SA network knowledge relatedness, network partners tend to possess similar knowledge and target the same markets, which makes them more likely to be substituted in the central firms’ point of view and not able to appropriate rents from the central firms (Park, Kim, and Kang, ). Consequently, centrally positioned firms tend to hold greater bargaining power and be better able to mobilize network support and resources for product innovation opportunities (Mazzola et al, ).…”

Standardization alliances evolve through collaborations among firms for developing and implementing industry technical standards. Cooperative standard setting can help allied firms to gain access to external knowledge and technologies, but it is unclear how the configuration of a standardization alliance can result in improving a firm’s performance in new product development. This study examines how standardization alliance network‐based resource advantages vary across a firm’s network position and the firm’s ability to influence industry standard setting and new product outcomes. Empirical analyses, based on archival data from 170 Chinese automobile manufacturers from 1999 to 2013, indicate that firms that span structural holes in standardization alliance networks gain an advantage when focusing on early new product introductions but suffer a disadvantage when aiming at more innovative products. In contrast, taking a central position in standardization alliance networks is negatively related to a firm’s speed in bringing new products to market but positively related to the firm’s new product introduction rate. Further, standard‐setting influence significantly mediates the effect of network position on a firm’s new product speed to market. Increasing centrality and structural holes can lead to the improvement of a firm’s standard‐setting influence, and this, in turn, positively affects speed to market.

“…As the prerequisite of process collaboration and patent collaboration, strategic collaboration can determine the long-term development direction and strategic goal of technology standard alliance, and drive culture collaboration and subject collaboration in alliance, so that the overall alliance innovation performance could be improved. If the strategic targets of alliance members are inconsistent or the linkage relationship between them is inelastic, or the alliance organization mode has remained unchanged for a long time, the flexible needs for alliance innovation to respond to the external dynamic and complex environment cannot be met, and even the strategic collaboration mechanism of alliance innovation may become rigid, which will result in the gradual loss of the competitive advantage of the alliance and even lead to alliance disintegration [57,58]. It can be seen that enhancing the strategic collaboration level of alliance innovation is an important prerequisite for improving the technology standard alliance innovation performance of emerging industry.…”

As the important carrier for patent sharing, joint creation and application promotion, the industrial technology standard alliance has increasingly become the main organization pattern for technology standardization around the world. Particularly, technology standard alliance collaborative innovation is more conducive to accelerate the independent innovation pace and technology standard internationalization process of emerging industries in China. Based on analyzing the connotation, characteristics and influencing factors of technology standard alliance collaborative innovation, this paper puts forward the research hypothesis and theoretical framework of alliance collaborative innovation, and then uses a questionnaire survey and a Structural Equation Model to test the influencing factors and their effect path through 196 technology standard alliance enterprises samples. The results indicate that compared with strategy collaboration and process collaboration, patent collaboration has more significant positive impacts on alliance innovation performance; further, resource integration, knowledge sharing and revenue distribution, become the main influencing factors of alliance collaborative innovation. Finally, this paper proposes the mechanism framework of technology standard alliance collaborative innovation, which provides effective reference for strengthening the technology standard alliance collaborative innovation management of emerging industry.

Профессиональные, в свою очередь, представляют совокупность межличностных контактов, складывающихся в процессе профессиональной деятельности предпринимателя с целью получения взаимной выгоды [7,8].…”
