The Driving Force of External Environment and Innovation Network on Hospital Innovation
The innovative development of medical industry is of great practical significance for the construction of healthy China.By integrating the medical industry innovation environment from the perspective of configuration,an innovation network analysis framework embedded in the external environment was constructed.The influencing factors and complex mechanisms of medical industry innovation in 31 provinces in China were analyzed by using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis—106—(fsQCA).The single external environment and innovation network are not the necessary conditions to promote the innovation of hospital.There are four ways to promote hospital innovation,which are generally classified as"government-guided","competition-guided"and"demand-guided".All these configurations can promote hospital innovation.The linkage and matching of government support and innovation network can promote the innovation of the hospital.If there is no government support,the linkage and matching of market environment and innovation network can also lead to the same result.In theory,the research not only considers the innovation network in the innovation problems but also pays attention to the important role of external environment,in practice,provides a certain reference and enlightenment for the innovation and development of our regional hospital.
