In order to explore the impact of the intrinsic relationship
among knowledge based elements on exploratory innovation performance and
exploitative innovation performance. This paper drawing on the social
network analysis method, takes 269 companies of the electronic
information industry listed on the main board as samples and uses the
2012-2016 patent data to construct the enterprise knowledge base network
structure and measures the density centralization and structure hole of
the knowledge base network, and tests the relationship between the above
three network eigenvalues and dual innovation performance through
negative binomial regression method.
Originality/value: This paper define the exploitative
innovation and exploratory innovation in this paper. Through the social
network analysis method, using the industrial patent data of China’s
electronic information industry, constructing the enterprise knowledge
base network structure, visualizing it, to analyze the different
relationship between the overall characteristics of the network
including network density, centralization, structural hole and
enterprise exploitative innovation and exploratory innovation.
