Abstract:

The deepening of Internet development and globalization has triggered global transformation of technology and economy. In order to adapt to the environmental changes, technology-based start-ups and platform companies have tried a new cooperative innovation paradigm:technology-based startups embed themselves into the platform ecology and share platform resources to promote innovation and its marketization. Accordingly, it becomes necessary for scholars to explore the characteristics and the mechanism of the new paradigm and contribute new knowledge to innovation theory and innovation practice. Based on the theory of network embedding and the analysis of the existing cooperative innovation paradigms, the paper proposes "embedded innovation" for the first time, and systematically elaborates its conception, characteristics and operating mechanism, all of which constitute the preliminary theoretical framework of embedded innovation.

Key words: embedding, innovation, paradigm
