Abstract In the context of open innovation,firms mostly implement technological innovations embedded in the external network.Unfortunately,there is no unanimous conclusion about how network embeddedness influences technological innovation drawn in the extant literatures.In the light of the characteristics of breakthrough technological innovation,consisting of disruptiveness,high uncertainty,high resource dependency,social network analysis method is applied to reveal the synergetic mechanisms how structural embeddedness and relational embeddedness influence breakthrough technological innovation in the way of theoretical deduction and case paraphrase.The conclusions may not only enrich technical innovation theory from the network embeddedness perspective,but also provide a basis for developing enterprise network strategies for breakthrough technological innovation.
