Green Collaborative Innovation Network's Dynamic Evolution and Influencing Factors of Logistics Industry in China

ABSTRACT This article constructs a green collaborative innovation network of the logistics industry in China and analyzes the evolution, and identifies endogenous network configurations and exogenous node attributes affecting the formation from the perspective of complex networks. The results show that the green collaborative innovation network structure presents loose characteristics, low concentration of innovation resources, and weak ability of innovation subjects to control information and innovation resources, particularly universities and research institutes. The outward expansion of new partnerships is lacking. Innovation subjects with similar geographical locations are more likely to collaborate on green innovation technologies. The findings provide a theoretical basis for promoting high‐quality development of the logistics industry.
