Study on relationship between enterprise network ability,innovation structure and complex product system innovation

Abstract

Abstract: With the increase of China's infrastructure investment and the advance of modern industrial system, the innovation of the complex product system has attracted great attention from both the Chinese Government and the academia. By selecting Puzhen Company as the subject of research on the innovation process spanning from 1949 to 2012, this paper obtains the following conclusions:the innovation of the complex product system co-evolves from the enterprise network ability, innovation structure and innovation mode of such system and shows the multi-phase characteristics of self-organization, namely:(1) in the fluctuation stage:the system enterprise forms the structure conducive to the exploitative innovation mode by means of the network ability; (2) in the slaving stage:the system enterprise forms the structure conducive to the exploratory innovation mode by means of the network ability; (3) in the phase transition stage:the system enterprise forms the co-structure, both exploitative and exploratory, by means of the network ability.

Key words: the system innovation of complex products, the network ability, the innovation structure
