Abstract:Based on the View of the absorptive capacity, and to explore the relationship between innovation network, the absorption capacity and innovation performance under the background of open innovation; based on classic literature, to sort out the relationship between network size, network density, internal management factors and potential absorptive capacity, the realized absorptive capacity, and examine the relationship between the realized absorptive capacity and innovation performance, and build the conceptual models through the use of 227 samples empirical enterprise. The results show that, under the open innovation background network size, network density significantly promote the upgrading of potential absorptive capacity, the potential absorptive capacity will help improve the realized absorptive capacity, internal management factors will help the potential absorptive capacity transformative to the realized absorptive capacity, the realized absorptive capacity will help improve innovation performance, the absorptive capacity play fully mediated the relationship between innovation network and innovation performance.
