The influence of network embedding on technology innovation of cluster enterprisesbased on knowledge view

Abstract

Abstract: Based on the literature review, this paper builds a theory model to explain how network embedding affects technology innovation of cluster enterprises by knowledge transfer and knowledge creation. By taking enterprises of software and cultural creative industrial clusters in Hangzhou as samples, the theoretical results were tested. The results showed that network embedding of cluster enterprises have a significant positive impact on knowledge transfer and knowledge creation. Network embedding of cluster enterprises have no significant positive impact on technology innovation, instead, it has indirect effects of knowledge transfer and knowledge creation impact on technology innovation. Knowledge transfer of cluster enterprises has no significant positive impact on technology innovation;Instead, it has an indirect impact on technological innovation through the complete mediation role of knowledge creation. Furthermore, the paper introduces the control variables of the cluster type, and found that the test results vary in different types of clusters.

Key words: cluster enterprises, network embedding, knowledge transfer, knowledge creation, technology innovation
