Coupling Open Innovation: Network Position, Knowledge Integration Ability, and Innovation Performance

Taking some enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta of China as samples, this paper discusses the impact of coupling open innovation on innovation performance and the moderating role of network position and knowledge integration ability. The results show that there is a positive correlation between coupling open innovation and innovation performance. Both network centrality and structural holes positively regulate this relationship. In the knowledge integration ability, the two elements of socialization ability and cooperation-coordination ability also play a positive moderating role. The research results enrich the literature of coupling open innovation and help to provide theoretical reference for enterprises to implement coupling innovation.
