Research on the Formation Mechanism of Cooperation Innovation Network Competence: Influence Factors Exploration and Empirical Analysis

Abstract

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the formation mechanism of network competence. Based ongrounded theory, we find knowledge resource, network position, network power and are the main factors in the process of network competence formation. On the basis of the related literature, we construct the theoretical hypotheses between these factors and network competence, and do an empirical test with the help of SPSS17.0 by surveying innovation networks in Xi'an High-tech Park. The results show that knowledge resource and network centrality have significant positive relationships with network competence, and the relationship between network power and network competence shows a reversed U-shape, meanwhile the regulation effect of the inter-organizational trust is also examined. These results can help better understand firms' innovation cooperating behaviors in technological innovation network.

Key words: network competence, influence factors, grounded theory, formation mechanism
