The structural, relational and cognitive configuration of innovation networks between SMEs and public research organisations
研究了中小企业与公共研究机构之间创新网络的结构、关系和认知配置，发现关系生命周期、治理机制与创新目标共同演化，存在“惯性信任”风险，需要重叠基础知识库并发展共享语言。
This article explores the gap within the extant literature regarding the effectiveness of innovation networks comprising small firms and public research organisations (PROs). By integrating the knowledge-based view, relational view and social capital approach, the article analyses innovation-driven dyadic networks involving SMEs and PROs. Through a multiple case-study method, an examination was undertaken of the structural, relational and cognitive configuration of networks. The study found a co-evolution path between the life-cycle of the relationship, mechanisms of governance and innovation objectives; the existence of a risk of ‘inertial trust’ and a need to overlap ‘basic’ knowledge bases and develop shared languages.
