Abstract: | ABSTRACTTaking the data of 20,863 patents in the field of Artificial Intelligence between 2000 and 2018 as an example, this paper examined the relationships among organisations’ knowledge structure, network structure, exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation. The results show that organisations’ knowledge combinatorial potential and knowledge diversity have positive effects on both exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation. Organisations’ degree centrality and structural holes in the collaboration network can partly mediate the relationships between their knowledge structure and exploratory and exploitative innovations. |
