Abstract

Currently, China's agricultural industry cluster harsh competition, innovation fatigue, knowledge network very developmental. The context of the new economy, knowledge and innovation is becoming an important factor of economic growth, and the network is precisely the knowledge innovation and effective way to spread. Many problems for the agricultural industry cluster, scholars from the the agriculture cluster of characteristics, formation mechanism, development mode, and many other aspects of research, many useful insights. However, the study of the agriculture cluster internal structure, network, innovation is still very rare. Therefore, based on the network perspective, Henan Province Yanling industrial clusters of flowers and trees, for example, the overview of the development of industrial clusters, the cluster network characteristics, as well as enterprises in the cluster innovation made a detailed survey, personal interviews and field survey data as the main data. On this basis, the use of descriptive statistics, social network analysis, principal component analysis, regression analysis and other methods, the three levels of the two dimensions and technical network marketing network and cooperation network delve into agricultural cluster knowledge from the knowledge of the network structure and knowledge network relationships The structural characteristics of the network and relational characteristics, and to explore the impact of the knowledge network of the innovation performance of firms in cluster. The main conclusions of this paper are as follows: (1) three levels of knowledge network presents three different morphology. Technology Network presents the core - periphery structure, core node than other nodes in the network between wide search for external knowledge, and peripheral nodes and other members of the loosely linked; the market network presents organizations separation structure, has a very large group strong cohesion, the close relationship between the internal members, small groups of knowledge associated smaller, this structure of the network is not stable enough, and should be taken to avoid factions separation; cooperative network can be seen as the overall network is a closed network, rarely occurs isolated nodes, each node is deeply embedded in the structure of knowledge networks. (2) in three knowledge network, the cooperation between the members of the network the most frequent network density, followed by market networks, technology networks are most loose. The complementary completed orders among farmers, most intensive cooperation network together form the market the planting techniques penetrance makes network members without much interaction. In addition, the focus of corporate in three knowledge network has more knowledge associated cluster knowledge doorman, farmers and small businesses are often isolated points in the network, which leads to the asymmetry of knowledge spillovers . In addition to the core enterprises, intermediary organizations and service agencies diffusion of knowledge has played a very important role. (3) three kinds of knowledge network, the core enterprise relationship strength and relationship quality than other types of organizations should be stronger. Visible, frequent and high-quality knowledge flows tend to be concentrated in the high-level group, does not occur in the entire cluster knowledge around a strong core of knowledge endowment. The strength of the relationship and the relationship between the quality of the farmers in the three networks in a weak position. (4) the core enterprise network relationship strength lower than market network and cooperation network relationship strength, contrary to the case of the three types of organizations and informal enterprises, quasi-enterprises and farmers. This may be due to the core enterprise often cluster technology R \u0026 D center, technical knowledge of storage relative to the amount of market knowledge and cooperation of knowledge in terms of a more adequate, so the relationship between the strength of the technical knowledge network accordingly lower. But overall, the core enterprise network strength of the relationship is still stronger than any other organization. In addition, the entire the flowers cluster market network quality than the quality of network relations and cooperation network. (5) the innovation performance of enterprises in the cluster is very different. Highest innovation performance the Comprehensive driven enterprises, which are mainly composed of core enterprises and informal enterprises, the main force of the strong comprehensive strength in the cluster innovation; capital-driven enterprise innovation performance Secondly, the lack of innovation and practical ability; comprehensive non-optimal enterprise lowest innovation performance of these enterprises to prospective businesses are mostly not yet mature and perfect in all aspects. (6) by regression analysis of the indicators on the characteristics of the network structure and the relationship with the corporate innovation performance indicators ○ 1 degree centrality market network and cooperation network is a significant positive effect on their innovation performance. Contact the knowledge of the diversity and non-repetitive, facilitate the flow of knowledge and innovation diffusion, is conducive to the promotion of innovation; ○ 2 outgoing center technical knowledge network significantly negative role in their innovation. SMEs in the agriculture cluster excessive dependence on external technology, more technical redundancy, more serious homogenization of information, which will not be conducive to independent innovation of enterprises; (3) corporate network relationship strength and market network relationship strength respectively negative and positive to affect its innovation. Endogenous technical knowledge allows businesses need more technical network of weak ties, market knowledge exogeneity so that enterprises need strong relationship in the market network relations; (4) corporate network relationships are on the quality of the relationship between quality and cooperation networks The innovation of enterprises have a significant positive impact on market network relationship quality, negative impact on the innovation performance of enterprises. Possible in market network relations, different members have the amount of information is asymmetric, prone to opportunistic behavior and affect each other's innovation behavior; ○ 5 enterprise size and the absorptive capacity of the innovation performance of enterprises have significant and positive the role of the entrepreneur experience negative affect corporate innovation. Entrepreneurs experience easily lead to cognitive lock and not conducive to innovation.
