结构洞及其动态变化对创新绩效的作用机理

This project studies the mechanism of structural holes in inventors' collaborative networks and their dynamics on innovation performance. The concrete research content is as follows: 1) we try to analyze how multiple brokerage roles that focal broker embed in form, explore how the conflicts caused by multiple brokerage roles influence brokers' benefit from structural holes, and study how the transformation between different brokerage roles as well as different kinds of transformations affect the innovation performance of brokers; 2) we also study how the interaction of brokerage roles and structural holes influence the creativity of inventors; 3) we like to explore how inventors benefit from three types of brokerage structure and optimize their ego networks by adjusting the cohesion and the number of structural holes; 4) with regard to multi-levels of collaborative networks, we try to study the transformation mechanisms between structural holes in ego networks and second-layer networks, we also try to find out why the changes occur and how they affect the brokers' innovation performance; 5) from the perspective of a whole, we discuss the effect of re-emerged structural holes on the innovation performance of inventors, comparing with the same structural holes in the past; Through the mechanisms of structural holes and their dynamics, this project can not only theoretically improve and deepen the understanding of the roles of structural holes, filling up the gaps, but also provide constructive suggestions and implications for enterprises on designing and optimizing collaborative innovation networks.
