The Influence of Inventor's Relationship Network on Innovation Performance:A Multi-layer Network Perspective
Based on the resource-based view and knowledge-based view,this paper constructs a multi-layer network framework to integrate the inventors'collaboration network,the collaboration network of the inventor's organization,and the inventors'knowledge network.By analyzing the patent data in the field of integrated circuits,the impact between the struc-tural embeddedness of inventors'collaboration network and inventors'innovation performance is investigated.The empirical results show that the structural embeddedness of the inventors'collaboration network has a positive impact on the inventors'innovation performance.Besides,the centrality of the inventor's knowledge network and the structure hole of the organiza-tional collaboration network positively regulate the impact between the structural embeddedness of the inventors'collabora-tion network and inventors'innovation performance.However,the structural hole of the inventor's knowledge network and the centrality of the organizational collaboration network negatively regulate the impact between the structural embeddedness of inventors'collaboration network and their innovation performance.
