The relationship between knowledge spillover and cluster innovation performance:The moderating effect of competition

Abstract

Abstract: This paper analyzed the mechanism of knowledge spillover influence on cluster innovation, which is based on the competition degree among cluster enterprises as the moderator and the innovation synergy and the inhibitory effect of innovation as the mediator. The results of mathematical analysis and empirical test show that knowledge spillover can increase synergistic effect and promote technical innovation on one hand, and it will increase inhibiting effect and hinder technology innovation on the other hand. The competition has a negative moderating effect between the relationship of knowledge spillover and synergistic effect, and it has a positive moderating effect between the relationship of knowledge spillover and inhibiting effect.

Key words: industrial cluster, knowledge spillover, competition, innovation performance
