Abstract

Enterprise innovation activities are embedded in multi-networks, where middle manager plays an important role. Using the questionnaire data, this paper tests the influences of multi-networks, namely administrative network, knowledge network, and social network, on enterprise innovation, and middle manager’s effects are discussed as well. The results show that triple networks have significant effects on enterprise innovation performance, and through promoting emotional resonance, knowledge sharing, and behaviour resonance among employees, middle manager moderates the relationship of networks and innovation. This paper advanced the research on enterprise innovation mechanism based on multi-network embeddedness and provides some insights about middle managers’ innovation role in enterprise.
