Abstract

In the process of technological innovation, Chinese agricultural enterprises face the dual predicament of external "knowledge market failure" and internal "knowledge management inefficiency". In this context, the open innovation paradigm has become an important choice for agricultural enterprises (especially the leading enterprises) to carry on their technological innovation. Based on the theory of social capital and open innovation, this paper analyzes the reasons for Chinese agricultural enterprises to adopt open innovation and the influence of the entrepreneurial social capital on the innovation activities of agricultural enterprises. Moreover, this paper sums up the impact mechanism of the social capital of agricultural entrepreneurs on knowledge acquisition, absorption and exploitation in the open innovation activities of their enterprises. On the basis of the traditional open innovation model, an open innovation model of Chinese agricultural enterprises based on the entrepreneur's social capital is built and some relevant propositions are put forward.
