“…Edges denote the relationships between these entities (Froehlich, 2022). In this study, the relationships involve technology patent transfer (Feczko et al, 2015), as SNA has previously been applied in studying technology diffusion globally (Winecoff, 2015(Winecoff, , 2020Yang et al, 2019). This approach allows a deeper understanding of how information and influence flow through networks (Hoppe & Reinelt, 2010;Scott & Carrington, 2014).…”

Purpose: The study aims to examine China’s rising technological influence in Africa within the context of Industry 5.0 and how it compares to traditional powers like the European Union (EU) and the United States (US).Design/methodology/approach: Utilising an innovative patent network analysis methodology, this study draws on data from the World Intellectual Property Organization’s (WIPO) Centre for Intellectual Property Statistics from 2001 to 2021.Findings/results: The analysis reveals China’s significant and growing presence in technological diffusion throughout Africa, potentially surpassing regional historical players.Practical implications: These findings have far-reaching implications for policy formulation and management strategies, particularly in a global landscape where technology standards and patents can significantly influence economic and business dynamics.Originality/value: This study contributes to the existing literature by offering a nuanced understanding of power dynamics in African value chains and a new context for relations between developed and developing countries. It emphasises the strategic importance of understanding technological centrality in emerging regions.

“…Global economic integration increasingly promotes countries, industries and enterprises to expand internationalized innovation activities through international technical factors spillover (Yang et al, 2021). As an important way of technology spillover, international trade and its role in promoting technological progress have received a lot of attention from both academia and industry (Bitzer and Geishecker, 2006;Coe et al, 1997;Coe and Helpman, 1995;Eaton and Kortum, 1996;Funk, 2001;Grossman and Heplman, 1991;Keller, 1999).…”

“…Scholars have conducted lots of research on the causes, dynamics, scope and degree of technological spillover (Chang et al, 2013;Madsen and Farhadi, 2018;Sun et al, 2021). Existing studies have pointed out that product import and export trade is one of the main paths and methods of technology spillover (Coe and Helpman, 1995;Idris et al, 2021;Keller, 1998;Souare, 2013;Xu and Chiang, 2005;Yang et al, 2021). Earlier studies such as Grossman and Helpman (1991) have found that technology can be transferred and diffused through trade in intermediate goods.…”

Whereas the technology spillover effect of international trade has been widely concerned by academic circles, the impact of trade barriers on technology spillover has received relatively less attention. This paper assesses the heterogeneity of international technology spillover effects in China’s manufacturing industry from traditional gross trade and value-added trade perspectives. Moreover, a deep insight into the effects of tariff and non-tariff barriers on international technology diffusion from traditional gross trade and value-added trade perspectives is also provided. Results show that the international trade indeed engenders technology diffusion, which is especially true in value-added trade characterized by intermediate goods trade compared with traditional gross trade. Additionally, tariff barriers severely disrupt technology diffusion in international trade, and traditional gross trade statistics underestimate the cumulative destructive effect of trade barriers on technology diffusion. Consequently, it can be concluded that reducing the abuse and misuse of non-tariff barriers can moderate the negative effect of trade barriers on international technology diffusion. JEL classification numbers: F14. Keywords: Global value chains; Value-added trade; Trade barriers; International technology spillover; Manufacturing industry.

“…Davidson Frame and Carpenter (1979) infer that international innovation collaborations occur based on whether an academic paper includes institutional affiliations from two or more countries or regions. In collaborative innovation research, especially in research related to globalization, patent analysis is one of the common methods used to explain the characteristics of innovation development (Moussa and Varsakelis, 2017; Yin et al., 2020; Yang et al., 2021; Ma et al., 2022). Patents represent a higher degree of commercialization of innovation products, facilitating product marketing.…”

The spatiotemporal evolution of global innovation networks and the changing position of China: a social network analysis based on cooperative patents

This study uses global patent cooperation data from 1999 to 2020, employs social network analysis, and explores the changes in and driving forces of global innovation networks (GINs) in the past 20 years as well as the change in China's position in the global innovation system. The results show that on the whole, the network accessibility of GINs has continuously improved, showing scale‐free network characteristics. The important nodes in the network are mainly developed countries such as Europe and the United States, and the node polarization effect has weakened; the network has four agglomeration subgroups. The phenomenon of subgroups and factions is not obvious. Further factor identification shows that economic factors and technological information factors have the strongest correlation with the innovation network and that demographic factors have a weaker correlation with the innovation network. In addition, China's position in the innovation network has been increasing year by year, and the role of ‘transit stations’ has become increasingly prominent.
