Abstract Platform firm-led innovation ecosystem as a special type of ecosystem, it is a network organization consisting of platform leading enterprises providing the basic innovation architecture, other related firms and affiliated institutions, inter-firm networking is the essential characteristic of innovation ecosystem. Based on the network relationship among enterprises, this paper discusses the influence of network structure variables on the stability of innovation ecosystem led by platform enterprises to analyze the membership, linkages, structure and functional characteristics of the innovation ecosystem network led by platform enterprises, and tests the proposed hypothesis by means of a questionnaire using 30 platform enterprise led innovation ecosystems in Shandong Province as the research sample. The results of data correlation and regression analysis indicate that four factors, namely, strong innovation ecosystem dominant firm, density of partner firms within the system, firm localization, and firm heterogeneity, have significant positive effects on innovation ecosystem stability; the relationship between partner firm reciprocity and intercourse within the system and innovation ecosystem stability is not significant. Based on the findings of the study, policy recommendations are made to maintain the stability of the network of innovation ecosystems dominated by platform enterprises.
