Abstract:Social structure capital and social relationship capital have important impact on the innovation performance of cultural cluster enterprises. Based on the theory of enterprise life cycle and the microscopic survey of 714 cultural cluster enterprises in China, this paper empirically tests the impact of the connection intensity and the scale of social network, and the mutual benefit of trust on the innovation performance of cultural cluster enterprises in their initial, growing and mature stages. The findings are as follows: (1) Mutually beneficial trust between cultural cluster enterprises and their partners significantly improves their innovation performance. This is the case with all the samples in our research and cultural cluster enterprises in their initial, growing and mature stages. (2) A strong social network can significantly improve the innovation performance of all the enterprises in our research and the cultural cluster enterprises at growing stage, and particularly promote the innovation of cultural cluster enterprises at growing stage. (3) A wide social network of cultural cluster enterprises has significant positive impact on the innovation performance of all the enterprises in our research, and the cultural cluster enterprises in their initial stage and mature stage, but has tremendous negative impact on the innovation performance of cultural cluster enterprises in the growing stage. For the cultural enterprises, it is necessary to adjust the intensity of embedded social network dynamically according to their life cycle stage, in order to accelerate the realization of their phased innovation goals. For the functional departments of cultural industrial parks, it is necessary to pay attention to creating an honest and mutually beneficial industrial cluster environment, effectively give play to the institutional advantages, in order to promote the coordinated development between upgrading of cultural industrial parks and innovation of cultural enterprises.
