背景：在物联网(IoT)公司中，超越公司边界的创新非常重要。此外，在创新网络中的优势定位被认为是提高创新结果并最终贡献利润的因素。目标：本研究的目的是从实证上阐明企业间的网络结构对物联网领域创新的影响。方法：通过社会网络分析，分析网络结构与创新效果之间的关系。从知识产权数据库中提取了与物联网公司相关的联合申请专利。结果：研究结果表明，公司网络结构的差异与研究结果和盈利能力有关。特别是，平台型商业模式的公司在物联网业务领域被认为利润丰厚。结论：本研究以知识产权数据库为基础，运用社会网络分析方法，从研发成果和运行效率两个方面对创新网络的结构进行了量化。
Background: In the Internet of Things (IoT) firms, innovation beyond the border of a company is important. Furthermore, advantageous positioning in the innovation network is thought to enhance the result of innovation and ultimately contribute to profit. Objectives: The objective of this research is to clarify empirically the influence of the network structure among companies on innovation in the IoT field. Method: In this research, the relationship between the network structure and the result of innovation was analysed through social network analysis. Joint application patents related to the IoT companies were extracted from the intellectual property database. Results: As a result, the difference in the network structure of a company was related to the result of research and profitability. In particular, a company with a platform type of business model is considered highly profitable in the IoT business field. Conclusion: Drawing on an intellectual property database and employing social network analysis, this research quantifies the structure of innovation networks in terms of the results and operational efficiency of R&D.
