网络结构、地理接近性对企业专利合作的影响机制研究

An Study on the Influencing Mechanism of Network Structure,Geographic Proximity on Firms' Patent Cooperation

深入探讨专利合作网络的三种网络结构特征与地理接近性对企业专利合作的影响机制。研究结果表明占据网络中心和结构洞位置都显著的正向影响企业的专利合作产出;企业与其他合作伙伴的地理接近性有助于提升企业的专利合作产出;地理接近性负向调节网络中心性和结构洞对企业专利合作产出的影响,与合作伙伴地理距离遥远的企业比地理邻近的企业从网络中心位置和结构洞位置中能获得更多的创新收益。

This paper studied the joint effects of geographic proximity and network structure on the patent cooperation of enterprise. Results show that both network centrality and structure holes have a significant positive impact on patent cooperation output; geographic proximity enhance the output of patent cooperation; both the impact of network centrality and structure holes on the patent cooperation of are negatively moderated by the geographic proximity. The enterprise which has longer distance with their partners can get more innovation benefits than those which are geographically closer to their partners from the network centrality and structure holes.
