The mechanism of patent cooperation networks influence technology-based small and mid-sized enterprises growth

With the rapid technological reform and increasingly fierce competition in the global market, the quantity and quality of patents has become the key to the survival and growth of enterprises. However, technology-based small and mid-sized enterprises(TSMEs) have a lack of innovation resources and its innovation capacity are always weak, only by choosing and embedding themselves to patent cooperation networks(PCNs) that suit their growth can TSMEs truly improve their innovation performance. So what model and characteristics do TSMEs PCNs have? And which model are benefit to their innovation performance improving? How to dynamically adjust the PCNs evolution models to promote the continuous improvement of TSMEs innovation performance? AO of them are the key issues to be solved during the study of using PCNs to promote TSMEs growth. Breaking away from the paradigm of studying the network as a whole in previous studies, this research starts from the structure of self-centered enterprise PCNs, and based on breadth and depth of the patent cooperation, carries out dual structure classification and multi-model construction of the network, explores and analyzes its characteristics, evolution law and the impact mechanism of the co-regulation of absorptive capacity and network capacity on the TSMEs growth performance.
