创业网络演进阶段与新创企业创新能力形成研究

The importance of entrepreneurial networks to startups is well known. Entrepreneurial network refers to various social relations including entrepreneurs’ individual networks and the organizational network of startups. In recent years, scholars have studied the entrepreneurial network on corporate performance, value creation, access to resources and competitive advantages and other issues. However, few scholars explored the formation of innovation capability based on entrepreneurial network evolution perspective. The lack of research regarding to this perspective is surprising. Under the background of “New Era”, startups are seeking for a room to survive in the market. They need innovation capability in order to maintain their sustainability. Therefore, based on the cognition of the evolution process of entrepreneurial network, this project studies how to promote the formation of innovation capability in network evolution process. To optimize the configuration of entrepreneurial networks, we will explore the interacting mechanism between entrepreneurial evolution networks and the sustainability of innovation capability. Based on entrepreneurial networks, this project not only enriches the current research on the entrepreneurial networks, but also provides theoretical guidance for entrepreneurial networks to promote the formation and realization of sustainability of startups’ innovation capability. Our research will provide relevant policy recommendations to policy makers and government departments.

创业网络对新创企业的重要性已经广为人知。创业网络是创业者所拥有的各种社会关系，包括创业者的个体网络以及创业企业的组织关系网络。近年来，学者们研究了创业网络与企业绩效、价值创造、资源获得和竞争优势的关系问题。然而，很少有学者从创业网络演化视角，对新企业创新能力形成进行探索，这一研究的缺乏令人困惑，因为在新时代背景下，新创企业要在市场中占有一席之地并生存发展下去，就需要有创新能力。为此，本项目基于对创业网络演化过程的认知，研究在创业网络演化过程中，如何促进新创企业创新能力的形成，以及新创企业的成长过程对创业网络演进的驱动作用。基于创业网络视角，本项目不仅丰富了当前有关创业网络的研究，而且为创业网络促进新企业创新能力形成和可持续性方面提供理论指导，并向政府部门制定相关的政策给与决策参考。
