Research on network relationships and innovation performance of industrial cluster based on SEM model

Innovation is the lifeblood for enterprise´s survival and development. The sustainable developments of industrial clusters rely on the accumulation of continuous innovation. The relationship between the cluster nodes in the network will not only determine the structure of a cluster network organization, but also provide a high-speed overflow channel for networking innovation of cluster. The article discusses the effect mechanism of the relationship between relational features of network and innovation performance of cluster by analyzing relational features of network, and then constructs a theoretical model for two of them. After that, the paper simulates paths of the relationship between them on the basis of a large-scale questionnaire survey of Baoji equipment manufacturing industrial cluster. The purpose is to verify the theoretical assumption by using the data of actual case and ultimately provides a theoretical basis for upgrading cluster innovation performance.
