Research on the Influence of the Social Capitals on the Innovation Performance of the Industry-university-research Cooperation-- With the Absorptive Capacity as the Intermediary Variable

From the perspective of the social capitals, with the absorptive capacity as the intermediary variable, the author of this paper tries to elaborate the influence of the social capitals on the innovation performance of the industry-university-research cooperation, and carries out the empirical analysis of the relevant data collected in the questionnaire surveys with the use of the Bootstrap-SEM model. The results show that the social capitals have the direct and positive role in promoting the innovation performance of the industry-university-research cooperation, but the intensity of the direct effect is smaller. The potential absorptive capacity and the actual absorptive capacity have a promoting effect on the innovation performance of the industry-university-research cooperation, and bear partial intermediary role in the relation between the social capitals and the innovation performance of the industry-university-research cooperation. The results of this paper have certain significance of the realistic guidance and reference to the development of the innovation performance of the industry-university-research cooperation in our country.
