Research on the impact of global innovation network on corporate performance

In this study, we attempted to fill a gap that literature has yet to investigate: the impact of global innovation network on corporate performance. Based on 347 valid questionnaire data, this paper uses regression analysis to explore which innovative network elements have an impact on the performance of Chinese 3D printing companies. The research results show that the structural characteristics of global innovation networks, the willingness of integrating network and the capability of integrating network are all positively correlated with the performance of 3D printing companies. There is no obvious correlation between the scale of the enterprise, the stage of enterprise development and corporate performance. The research conclusions will provide theoretical support for 3D printing companies to formulate global innovation strategies and policies.
