The relationship between innovation network and innovation capability: a social network perspective

Chun‐Yao Tseng, Sheng-cheng Lin, Da-Chang Pai, Chi-Wei Tung · 2016 · Technology Analysis and Strategic Management

Summary. This study examines how a firm's position within innovation networks affects its innovation capability in the semiconductor industry. Using social network analysis, the researchers found that firms occupying central positions in networks and operating in denser networks develop stronger innovation capabilities. However, firms with tighter connections within isolated sub-clusters show weaker innovation capability, suggesting that broader network reach matters more than local clustering.
