The Importance of Sensor Network Structure and Knowledge Management for Leveraging Innovation Performance

摘要

This study combines network, knowledge management and innovation theory to develop an integrated model in transition China. We analyze the model using regression analysis approach, and 128 manufacturing and service firms in China are selected as the samples of this study. The results conclude that: (1) network density will significantly impact on Knowledge Management; (2) sensor network intensity will significantly impact on Knowledge Management; (3) sensor network centrality will significantly impact on Knowledge Management; (4) The sensor network density is positively relative innovation performance; (5) sensor network intensity is a function of innovation performance; (6) sensor network centrality will significantly impact on innovation performance; (7) knowledge acquire is a function of its innovation performance; (8) knowledge storage will significantly impact on innovation performance; (9) knowledge creation will significantly impact on innovation performance. Finally, implications for researchers and practitioners are presented.
