Relationship Between Multi-network Embeddedness and Innovation Performance of Makerspace:Based on the Intermediary Effect of Ambidextrous Innovation
Enterprises located in makerspaces are usually small and new.Given the resource and capabilities limitations of these enterprises,it has become an inevitable choice to embed themselves in the external network in order to achieve more and better innovation performance.However,the"black box"of the influence mechanism of enterprise relationship embedding has not been fully opened.Moreover,for the dual innovation behavior,that is,the use-type innovation behavior,which is to improve existing technologies,products/services,processes,and structures to consolidate the existing market,and the exploratory innovation behavior,which is to expand or break through the original technology,knowledge to form new technology and new knowledge to meet the new market,the intermediary effect between enterprise network embedding and innovation performance is still unclear.To this end,based on network embeddedness theory and knowledge innovation theory,this paper constructs a"multi-network embeddedness‒ambidextrous innovation behavior‒innovation performance"research model,and analyzes the internal mechanism of multi-network embeddedness affecting innovation performance in makerspace.According to 306 questionnaire survey data of small and medium-sized enterprises in makerspace in Fujian province,structural equation modeling and bootstrap are used to test the effects and chain intermediary effects,expecting to examine whether relational embedding,structural embedding,and knowledge embedding have an impact on the innovation performance of the makerspace through dual innovation behavior.The results show that:(1)Multi-network embeddedness is a key external factor affecting the innovation performance of enterprises in makerspace.(2)The chain mediating role of exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation is significantly varied in multi-network embeddedness and the innovation performance of makerspace.The chain mediation effect of ambidextrous innovation between network relationship embedding and innovation performance is significantly positive,playing a parallel mediating role.(3)There is a superposition effect between relationship embedding and knowledge embedding,while there is offset effect between structural embedding and knowledge embedding.Enterprises in makerspace with advantages in relational embedding and knowledge embedding have higher trust,closer relationships,and richer knowledge resources in the network.Therefore,enterprises should pay attention to the synergistic effect of the network embedding state and the knowledge embedding state,and select the appropriate innovation behavior according to the network embedding state,so as to achieve a significant improvement of the innovation performance.
