组织内部和组织之间的网络被期望作为创新资源和知识的管道。已有研究表明，密集网络与创新绩效密切相关。在一个紧密结合的群体中，紧密的关系可以促进网络中参与者之间的信任，从而促进合作，而与他人的不同联系可以为突破提供机会。本文对产业集群的网络结构进行了定量评价，并与实地研究结果进行了比较，发现集群中的企业并不认为集群是密集的，这意味着即使在最密集的网络中也存在机会。这是因为在现有的合作伙伴之外寻找合作伙伴并不容易，而有合作关系的企业之间存在着紧密的沟通。因此，我们提出了一个系统，寻找一个合理的业务合作伙伴，以跨越当前的边界，并支持网络。(C) 2011爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Networks within an organization and also among organizations are expected to work as conduits of resources and knowledge for innovation. Previous papers have shown that dense networks are closely related with innovation performance. Tight relationships in a close knit group foment trust among actors in the network and therefore promote collaborations, and diverse connections with the others can open an opportunity for breakthrough. In this paper, we quantitatively evaluate the network structure of an industrial cluster and compare its results with that of a field study, and found that firms in the cluster do not regard it as dense, which means that there are opportunities even in the densest network. This is because it is not so easy to look for business partners beyond a company's current partnerships while tight communication exists among firms having partnerships. Therefore, we propose a system of finding a plausible business partner to span the current boundary and to support the networking. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
