Abstract

This study investigated the impact of regional technical criticality and gener-icness on industrial innovation performance, as well as the moderating effect of collaboration depth and breadth. The findings provide a scientific founda-tion for government agencies to fine-tune their technology development strategies. The first four digits of the International Patent Classification(IPC) code were employed to represent specific technical units and co-occurrence network metrics were adopted to measure technology criticality and generic-ness. Utilizing panel data from the Chinese biopharmaceutical industry, we discovered an inverted U-shaped relationship between industrial innovation performance and technical criticality and the technical genericness signifi-cantly enhancing innovation outcomes. Furthermore, we observed that deep-er collaboration flattened the relationship between innovation performance and technical criticality, while broader collaboration had a negative moderat-ing effect on the relationship between innovation performance and technical genericness.
