摘要:Knowledge cooperation activities have gained recent popularity as a means for established firms to improve their knowledge creation and knowledge sharing performance. However, little is known about the link between knowledge cooperation relations, as no previous studies have examined the link in detail. The purpose of this study is to define and develop an understanding of the ways in which knowledge cooperation networks impact knowledge cooperation and sharing. The research model in this article is panel data from the National Bureau of Economic Research, USA (NBER) database on 27292 samples and 104 countries from1976 to 2006. According to the data, we found that a number of knowledge cooperation network relations were positively related to knowledge creation and knowledge sharing.
