An innovation network can be considered as a complex adaptive system with evolution affected by dynamic environments. This paper establishes a multi-agent-based evolution model of innovation networks under dynamic settings through computational and logical modeling, and a multi-agent system paradigm. This evolution model is composed of several sub-models of agents' knowledge production by independent...
The literature rarely considers an innovation network as a complex adaptive system. In this paper, theories of complex adaptive systems research are employed to model and analyze intra-organization networks, inter-organization networks as well as their interaction mechanisms in the whole innovation context, with a conceptual framework proposed and presented. Flexible multi-agent based modeling, smart...
Focal firm innovation network is an effective way to develop Chinese auto industry. Firstly, analyze and summarize the concept and structure of the focal firm innovation network; Secondly, discuss the successful use of the focal firm innovation network in the U.S. and Japanese auto industry; Thirdly, explore the application of focal firm innovation network in the future development of Chinese auto...
In recent years, industrial clusters in Zhejiang tend to expand outward. Consequently, the innovation network based on the industrial cluster is faced with trans-regional restructuring, thus realizing trans-regional integration of innovation resources. This paper firstly reviews the literatures on the innovation network and industrial cluster, then proposes the ways of constructing trans-regional...
This article studied the theories of industry colony life cycle's correlation, analyzed the industrial colony's life cycle which had been divided into four stages: seed time, growth period, mature period and winter. This article introduced the theory of industrial colony sustainable development, elaborated sustainable development's risk of the industrial colony for each stage, and analyzed each stage's...
This paper focuses on the performance of technology clusters over the period 1998-2005 in communication equipment industry within USA. We explore the relationship between the cluster network properties and the cluster performance at the cluster level. Our analysis shows that the average network distance has a negative impact on the cluster performance. We also find that the cluster coefficient has...
This paper studies the critical factors that SMEs should pay attention to when they managed their innovation networks to improve their innovation competences. We investigated 105 SMEs distributed in different industries with most of them in manufacture industry and got 204 valid questionnaires. The survey results show that there are 4 factors which influence SMEs innovation performance, i.e. partner...
Innovation has been one of the key drivers of sustainable competitive advantage for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). On the basis of a sample of 188 Chinese SMEs, this paper attempts to: (i) explore the relative importance of the innovation network and main policy services in innovation for SMEs by using the technique of Relative Important Index (RII), and (ii) seek to highlight any differences...
