An Empirical Analysis on the Impact of Innovation Network Structure on Crossover Innovation Performance of Emerging Technologies
Table 1
Indicators of network topology analysis.
Indicator
Definition
Number of the nodes
Total number of nodes in the network
Number of connecting lines
Total number of links in the network
Network density
Ratio of actual links to all possible links in the network
Average degree
The degree is the sum of the connectivity of a node and the nodes adjacent to it, and the average degree is calculated by dividing the sum of the degrees of all nodes by the total number of nodes in the network
Average path length
Average of the path length between any node pair in the network
Clustering coefficient
The clustering coefficient of a node is the ratio of the actual number of links between neighboring nodes to the maximum possible number of links between them. The clustering coefficient of the network is the average of the clustering coefficients of all nodes
