The Impact of Governance of Incubation Network on Network Performance: The Moderating Role of Environmental Dynamism

Abstract

Abstract:

This paper tests the effects of two types of governance (i.e. contract and relation) on incubation network performance under two types of environmental dynamism (i.e. technological turbulence and competitive intensity), while graphic illustrating and analyzing interaction between governance and environmental dynamism, by introducing environmental dynamism as an adjustment variable, based on the investigation of logic between governance of incubation network and network performance. The empirical results of 243 enterprises show that contract governance and relation governance both stimulates incubation network performance. Further, technological turbulence and competitive intensity have directly opposite regulating effect.

Key words: governance, network performance, technological turbulence, competitive intensity
