Research of Innovation Diffusion on Industrial Networks

Table 2

Affections of industrial network topology on innovation diffusion.

TypeContent

Diffusing modeTechnical innovation spreads on “real” relationshipKnowledge innovation spreads on “virtual” relationship
Diffusing threshold Industrial network is a scale-free network; innovation can diffuse easily on it, and the diffusing threshold is zero
Diffusing path Industrial network is a small-world network; the path of innovation diffusion is shorter
Sharing innovation The clustering coefficient of industrial network is very larger; the shared degree of innovation is higher
Innovation affection The distribution of node’s degree in industrial network; the affection of enterprise innovation on industrial network is different extremely
