How Network Features Can Improve Innovation Performance in Agricultural Industry Innovation Network: Network Scale, Linkage Intensity, Relationship Quality

Abstract:

Purpose – Facing the complicated competitive environment, any organization can't have perfect knowledge innovation required, the county agricultural enterprises or organizations need to continuously develop and improve the collaboration network.Therefore, how network features can improve innovation performance inside a innovation network is an important issue, which this paper aims to discuss. Approach – A theoretical framework, integrated together innovation network properties, absorptive ability and industry innovation performance,was proposed to discuss how these factors interact. Findings – The proposed framework leads to a more satisfactory performance for the Agricultural Industry Innovation Network (abbr.AIIN). AIIN network features positive impact on innovation performance and the positive adjustment function of absorptive capacity between the two parts is verified by empirical.Sample data came from 105 concluding reports of a Chinese public special plan to reinforce county economy and enrich people using science and technology. Value – The results will help to improve the agricultural industry innovation network, improve the innovation performance, will also provide decision-making basis for government departments to the development of regional agriculture economy.
