The comparative analysis on wind energy industry based on the multi-level perspective theory Li Xiaofen, Feng Haihong, Wang Shengguang 2013, (7): 17-23.  Abstract ( 1587 )   PDF (1281KB) ( 2460 )   Based on Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) theory and the actor-network perspective, the evolutionary of Denmark, German, and China’s wind energy industries is analyzed in order to explore the mechanism of the industry competitiveness. Multi-case comparative studies stimulate the development of MLP theory. The analysis indicates that the MLP models for developed and developing countries are quite different: the former starts from the disruptive innovation in niche market; while the later starts from the introduction, digestion, and absorptive of the existing technologies, thus the evolutionary path of industry is also not the same. It is concluded that the management system directly affects the technological innovation and industrial development modes; the co-evolutionary of technology, market, and institution is the key element affecting the competitiveness difference of these three countries’ industries. Therefore, it is quite important to promote the widest participation of multi-agent and the diversity of technology innovation. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The influential factors of structural hole filling within inventor networks Sun Xiaoming, Cui Wentian, Dong Jinwei 2013, (7): 31-38,44.  Abstract ( 2032 )   PDF (1557KB) ( 2173 )   The high innovation performance of inventors could be largely attributed to the richness of structural holes within their collaborative networks. This argument has been widely confirmed in western culture featured by individualism. However, some recent research suggests that filling structural holes are much more beneficial to Chinese inventors embedded in a collective and Confucian culture. Based on the patent data of 13 Chinese high-tech enterprises, how the difference of network structures (social capital) and inventors’ characteristics (labor capital) affects the filling of structural holes between teams is studied. Results indicate that differences of team centrality and team status lead to a significant and positive effect on the filling of structural holes. Furthermore, the results also show that there is an inverted-U relationship between the scope difference of team knowledge and the filling of structural holes.

The co-opetition relationship of LED manufacturers based on patent information analysis Yuan Xiaodong, Chen Jing 2013, (7): 78-86.  Abstract ( 1786 )   PDF (1277KB) ( 2671 )   Nichia, Toyoda Gosei, Cree, Osram, and Philips represent the highest level of LED, their development trends have a significant impact on the industry. Patent concentration of LED industry becomes increasingly lower. Therefore, the relationships among five manufacturers are changed into a co-opetition relation which is win-win situation for them. The heterogeneity and interdependence of technical resources for the top five manufacturers have led to technology complementary, which is the prerequisite of co-opetition formation. Chinese LED manufacturers should access the cross-licensing relationships of the top five vendors. Moreover, a closed interdependence co-operation network should be built in order to improve the capability of market control and resilience. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The protection scope of intellectual property right, enterprise R&D investment, and social welfare Zhao Xumei 2013, (7): 87-92.  Abstract ( 1915 )   PDF (922KB) ( 2272 )   The protection scope of IPR is the primary policy tool for stimulating innovative enterprises to invest in R&D. It exerts an influence on the IPR transaction between transferor and transferee enterprises by affecting the acquisition cost and profitability of IPR. A multi-stage game model of two enterprises with asymmetrical abilities is built and general balanced analysis is conducted. Results show that expanding protection scope of IPR is able to raise enterprise income and stimulate enterprises to invest more on R&D only if the initial R&D investment reaches at a certain scale. Under the established R&D investment, expanding IPR protection scope margin would increase the cost of technology transfer, boosting profit for the transferor, meanwhile decreasing profit for the transferee and bringing the negative influence on social welfare. The negative side effect would be mitigated only after the distensible effect of R&D investment is achieved. Therefore, while expanding the protection scope of IPR, the auxiliary measures, such as preferential taxation policy for enterprise R&D investment and IPR trade promotion among enterprises, should also be introduced.

The affective mechanism of learning-orientated strategy based on IT capability to performance Cui Yu, Jiao Hao, Zhang Yang 2013, (7): 93-100.  Abstract ( 1678 )   PDF (848KB) ( 2536 )   As environments become increasingly complex, the theory of dynamic capabilities considers that a firm could adopt learning-orientated strategy for performance sustainability. However, majority researches neglect the mediative path and affective mechanism in the relationship between learning-orientated strategy and performance. By reviewing relevant literature, IT capability is considered as a mediator variable, and then the relationship between learning-orientated strategy and performance is built and testified. On the basis of a large-scale questionnaire investigation and empirical research using the software of SPSS, it is concluded that IT capability partially plays the mediative role between learning-orientated strategy and performance. Moreover, the learning-orientated strategy has a significantly positive effect on IT capability and organizational performance. Each aspect of IT capability has a positive effect on organizational performance with different degree. The findings indicate that business firms should implement learning-orientated strategy inside of organization to build IT capability, to push knowledge dissemination and absorption, to differentiate the product in response to customer needs, and finally to improve and raise organizational performance References | Related Articles | Metrics
