Research on the Evolution of Regional Innovation Networks Based on the Self-organizing Theory

Based on the analysis of the dissipative structures about innovation networks with opening,nonlinear,non-equilibrium and self-organizing characteristics,we build a self-organizing model of regional innovation networks,and then make a thorough study in the evolution law of the regional innovation network.Research finds that the self-organizing characteristics of regional innovation networks mainly show in two aspects,that is,the mutual action among innovation agents,and the mutual action between the network and the environment.Furthermore,we find that the evolution process of regional innovation networks can be divided into three stages: incubation period,growth period and mature period.
