Strategies of Core Enterprise Choosing Actors from Network Exterior: A Perspective Based on Actor Characteristics

Abstract

Abstract:

With increasing complexity of technology innovation, seeking external support through network has become an important strategic choice for enterprise technological innovation. However, advantage of network depends above all on core enterprise' appropriate choice for external actors. Based on the relation characteristics, resource characteristics and space characteristics of actors, combining theory and case analysis, this paper explores the strategies that core enterprise of innovation network chooses external actors. Research results show that, the resource characteristic is a prerequisite for core enterprise choosing external actors; if external actors do not have the same resource characteristics, core enterprise will choose those actors with complementary resources, with less consideration for the relation characteristics and space characteristics of actors; if external actors have the same resource characteristics, the relation characteristics and space characteristics of actors will become an important constraint for core enterprise choosing external actors. The research results have important enlightenments for core enterprise choosing proper external actors and comprehensively understanding the relationship between innovation and actor characteristics.

Key words: core enterprise, innovation network, choice of external actors, actor characteristics
