Key Element Identification in Cooperative Technological Innovation Risk on Social Network Analysis

Cooperative technological innovation, with various hidden risks, often leads to technological innovation aborted. In order to deal with risks, this paper defines cooperative technological innovation risk element networks from the viewpoint of system theory. Based on the network characteristics, the paper introduces Social Network Analysis (SNA) to build a key element recognition model through the three dimensions of factor analysis, relations analysis, matrix analysis from cooperative technological innovation risk elements. Finally, the paper tests the model based on an example and identifies eight key elements of cooperative technological innovation risks.
