摘要：This research is aimed to employ a dynamic network perspective in order to understand how firms, which are positioning in a dynamic network, enhance their innovative performance by taking structural movement. Unlike conventional social network articles focusing on the influence of structural effect, this research highlighted the importance of how alters’ attributes have a great effect on the relationship between firms’ network structure and innovative performance. Based on a sample of 117 global high-tech firms, this research first examined how firms’ structural movement in dynamic networks enhances their innovative performance. This paper then tested the moderating effect of network resources on the relationships between network dynamics and innovative performance. Our findings suggested that when firms move into more prominent and strategic position in dynamic networks, their innovative performance will be enhanced. Also, the results suggested that firms with abundant network resources will strengthen the effect of network dynamics on firms’ innovative performance.
