The Empirical Study of Impacts of Firm networks on Technological innovation Performance

摘要：

In the era of globalization, firms competitive advantage derives not only from its internal resources, but also from all kinds of resources and capabilities that can be accessed from its embedded firm networks. Based on literature reviews of prior relevant researches, this paper proposes the conceptual model that firm networks have positive impacts on firms technological innovation performance, and the positive relationships between them are moderated by firms absorptive capacity. Then, using data from 125 sample firms, the positive associations amongst network strength, network scale, network position, and firm technological innovation performance are confirmed, and the moderating effects of absorptive capacity are also supported by the data.
