中荷蔬菜种子公司绩效与创新网络的比较研究
Compare between
The vegetable seed industry is an important area to study innovation networks, because it is highly innovative and is the starting point of vegetable supply chain, improving the innovation abilities of seed companies will benefit the whole vegetable supply chain. It is established and successful in the Netherlands and developing, but with a large market, in China. Previous studies of innovation focused on either company level or project level only, but innovation is generated by coherent action at both levels. This research aims to analyse the influence of the innovation networks on the innovation and business performance of vegetable seed companies in the Netherlands and China at the company and the project level. We adopt the innovation process model to analyse innovation at the stages: strategy, input, process, and output in relationship to the innovation networks at three levels: the internal network, the supply chain and the relation with knowledge institutions and governmental agencies. A historical study will be used to analyse the institutional environment of vegetable seed companies in both countries. Then the Wageningen Innovation Assessment Tool will be used to conduct the network analysis at the company and project level. Comparison of innovation networks and performance will be conducted within and between the two countries. Different scenarios will be developed to predict the trends in the Chinese seed markets. The results will be used to develop decision-support models for seed companies and government.
