Research on function mechanism of knowledge lattice on gazelle enterprises’ relay innovation—Using knowledge matching and knowledge transfer as conducting variables

Relay innovation is a dynamic course from innovation capability identification to innovation capability inheritance, which can realize the deep division and integration of "innovation chain". It plays roles in the advantages of the heterogeneity of the parties, meet the needs of the enterprise's innovation process, and the knowledge lattice can solve the problem that knowledge workers can not understand, such as theacquired knowledge in the relay innovation. Taking the gazelle enterprises as research objects, this study constructs the analytical framework of function mechanism of knowledge lattice on relay innovation, and introduces knowledge matching and knowledge transfer as the conducting variables of empirical verification. The empirical analysis results show that the knowledge lattice significantly affects the knowledge matching, the knowledge matching significantly affects the knowledge transfer, and further the knowledge transfer significantly affects the relay innovation.
