Abstract:
Drawing on social network analysis and resource theory, we analyze the influence of the location (centrality and structural holes) in and network density of the standard cooperation network on technological standardization capability. We use the negative binomial regression model to analyze data on communication equipment manufacturers in the standard cooperation network that participated in the standard development from 2008 to 2023. The results reveal that centrality and structural holes have significant positive effects on technological standardization capability. Meanwhile, the network density negatively affects technological standardization capability. High network density can help enterprises to leverage the advantages of their centrality, but simultaneously weaken the advantages of structural holes.
