摘要:The process of deep globalization and open innovation is deeply shaping the global innovationgeography, which drives the evolution of global innovation network simultaneously. Based on the innovativeservice value matrix of city-by-inventor’s R&D activities, the paper employs the complex network analysis andGIS to illustrate the internal and external features of global innovation networks. The global innovation mapreveals the status and function of Chinese cities represented by Shanghai in the network. Meanwhile, this paperreveals the signification of urban agglomeration for corresponding cities to integrate into global innovationnetwork, such as Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration, to leverage and rise within the global innovationnetwork. This research concludes potential scenery of Chinese characteristic model for innovation developmentand its transformation in the coming days.
