Research on the Influence of Industry-University-Research Cooperation Innovation Network Characteristics on Subject Innovation Performance

Abstract

The automobile industry serves as the primary industry for national development and also enhances manufacturing development strategies. Its source of power comes from the maturity and operational efficiency of the technology innovation network within the industry. Firstly, this paper takes the automobile industry of the Yangtze River Economic Belt as the research object and depicts the topological structure of the 1985–2015 Industry-University-Research Cooperation Innovation Network (IURCIN) from the perspective of space-time evolution. Then, based on the 2015 industrial network characteristic data, the paper analyses the impact of individual network characteristics such as intermediate centrality, structural hole limitation, and cooperation intensity on the innovation performance of the respective network. At the same time, it adds innovation activity, per capita gross regional product (GRP), and research and development (R&D) fund input intensity as control variables in the quantitative analysis. The results show that the centrality and structural hole limitation significantly and positively affect the subject innovation performance. The cooperation intensity and the subject innovation performance have an inverted U-shaped relationship. The innovation activity has a positive effect on the subject’s innovation performance. Furthermore, per capita GRP and R&D expenditure intensity on the main innovation performance is not significant. Finally, the countermeasures and suggestions are put forward to promote the innovation performance of each subject in the IURCIN.

Research Progress of Green Marketing in Sustainable Consumption based on CiteSpace Analysis

“…In detail, there are two outstanding research teams whose influential leaders are Seonaidh Mcdonald and Kannan Govindan, respectively (both are also top collaborated authors). As a result of this, we suggest scholars increase cooperation regarding this topic with others, which is proved useful to enhance research effectiveness and efficiency (Li et al, 2021; Sun et al, 2021).…”

Investigation of Nexus between Knowledge Learning and Enterprise Green Innovation Based on Meta-Analysis with a Focus on China

“…Therefore, an industry type was another variable that might affect the relationship between knowledge learning and green enterprise innovation. Some enterprises had a strong ability to acquire external knowledge and industry collaboration [29,52], which further affected green enterprise innovation. The research samples were coded into manufacturing enterprises, resource-based enterprises, and green-oriented enterprises in this study.…”

“…Some research results showed that enterprises' access to external resources positively impacts green innovation [25][26][27][28]. However, some scholars, from the perspective of the external network, pointed out that the relationship between the external cooperation network depth of enterprises and the green innovation of enterprises are not in a simple linear relationship but an inverted U relationship [29][30][31], and a too-high depth knowledge search would also lead enterprises to rely on strong links with external resources, which would lead to increased opportunism risks for enterprises [32,33], and may not be conducive to enterprise innovation [34][35][36].…”

Pharmaceutical Enterprises’ R&D Innovation Cooperation Moran Strategy When Considering Tax Incentives

“…In recent years, enterprises have begun to cooperate with other enterprises and scientific research institutions [ 15 ] to effectively alleviate the problems existing in enterprise internal innovation [ 16 ] and promote innovation in the industry [ 17 ]. The degree of enterprise innovation is affected by the cooperation with universities and other scientific research institutions, and knowledge plays a moderating role in the relationship between industry cooperation and product innovation [ 18 ]. The number of scientific research institutions has a positive impact on innovation performance [ 19 ].…”
