چکیده

شبکه‌‌های نوآوری با دو میاندار دانشی و صنعتی، شبکه‌‌هایی هستند که در آن دانشگاه‌‌ها، مراکز پژوهشی و بنگاه‌‌های دانشی در زیرشبکه دانشی و مجموعه‌‌های تولیدی، صنعتی و بازرگانی در زیرشبکه صنعتی قرار داشته و برای طراحی و ساخت یک محصول پیچیده با یکدیگر مشارکت دارند. در این شبکه‌‌ها میاندار دانشی در زیرشبکه دانشی و میاندار صنعتی در زیرشبکه صنعتی اداره امور زیرشبکه خود را به صورت مجزا اما هماهنگ عهده دارند. پایداری شبکه‌‌های نوآوری با دو میاندار دانشی و صنعتی، به میزان زیادی متأثر از حفظ و تداوم همکاری میان این دو میاندار است. هدف این مقاله، شناسایی عوامل مؤثر بر پایداری این شبکه‌‌ها از منظر همکاری میان دو میاندار دانشی و صنعتی است. بدین منظور با روش موردکاوی عمیق، دو شبکه نوآوری مرتبط با توربین بادی و آب شیرین­کن حرارتی، عوامل و پیشایندهای مؤثر بر پایداری شبکه‌‌ها شناسایی و در دو بعد "اعتماد" و "شکاف قدرت" دسته‌‌بندی شده‌‌اند. همچنین پنج گزاره علمی در مورد تأثیر پیشایندها بر پایداری شبکه به همراه چارچوب مفهومی اثر عوامل مختلف بر پایداری شبکه‌‌های نوآوری با دو میاندار دانشی و صنعتی ارائه شده است.

چکیده [English]

This paper concerns innovation networks with two distinct sub-networks including knowledge and industrial sections, named dual core networks. While industrial network consists of firms involving in manufacturing and commercialization; universities, research institutes and knowledge-based SMEs are incorporated into knowledge network. Each section has its own hub which plays the role of coordinator and/or orchestrator. The stability of dual-core networks is greatly depends on the cooperation between two hubs. This research aims to identify the factors affecting the sustainability of dual-core innovation networks. For this purpose, two case studies regarding wind-turbine and thermal water desalination are analyzed as representatives of different degree of cooperation between knowledge and industrial hubs. Based on thematic analysis, the main factors and antecedents influencing networks stability have been identified and clustered in two dimensions of trust and power gap. It is also discussed that the effective role of brokers could moderate the impact of trust and power gap on the network stability. As a result, five scientific propositions are developed and explained which along with the proposed conceptual framework could be considered as starting points for further research.
