Abstract

In terms of structure, the evolution trend of innovation network for the clustered enterprise is mainly concerned about the change in its openness, hierarchy, and multiplicity of participants. This kind of evolution could be characterized by cultural embeddedness. The research shows the difference of contents and extend embedded by clustered firms will result in different degree of their innovation network's evolution. The intrinsic mechanism of the impact of the former on the latter could mainly be depicted by the mediative role of innovation strategy posture. The three dimensions of innovation strategy posture, namely, innovativeness, foresightness, and risk taking, play the role of mediation between cultural embeddedness and the evolutions of innovation network with different degrees.
