DOI:
https://doi.org/10.54097/fbem.v3i2.271Keywords:
Network embedding, Knowledge distance, Innovation performanceAbstract
Based on the network embedding theory and innovation performance, and taking knowledge distance as a moderating variable, case and empirical research methods are adopted to explore the relationship between network embedding and innovation performance, and to reveal the role of knowledge distance in the relationship between network embedding and innovation performance. The research results have important theoretical and practical value for further improving the structural characteristic system of innovation network and the knowledge flow mechanism of knowledge distance inside and outside enterprises, and further enrich and expand the theory of enterprise innovation performance.
