Analysis of Toyota's low-carbon vehicle technology collaborative innovation network map

Abstract

Abstract: At present, the problem of energy shortage, environment pollution, global warming is increasingly serious, so low-carbon vehicle technology innovation is extremely urgent. Using social network analysis, this paper analyzes the characteristics and technology field of Toyota's network of low-carbon vehicle technology collaborative innovation in 1992-2011, as well as the characteristics and evolution process of Toyota innovation partners' technology association network. The analysis found out that, based on the network actors' connection, the difference of relational power among them is relatively big, and their degree of closeness is on the medium level. Suppliers occupy an important position in the network. In addition, Toyota innovation partners' technology association network's scale increases steadily and the network's clustering effect becomes prominent.

Key words: low-carbon vehicle technology, collaborative innovation network, social network analysis, network map, technology association network
