Abstract The key inventors are few but undertake a large number of core technology innovation work,which is the most important human strategic resource of the enterprise.In the past,based on the connotation of key inventors,scholars have proposed different key inventor identification methods from various dimensions,and explored various factors that affect the creativity of key inventors,but have not yet formed a unified understanding and systematic theoretical framework.This paper reviews the connotation of key inventors,expounds the identification methods of key inventors and their similarities and differences,and gives four aspects that affect the creativity of key inventors under environmental uncertainty:①changes in the working environment within the organization; ②changes in the working environment between organizations; ③cooperation networks within the organization; ④cooperation networks between organizations.Finally,three important research directions in the future are proposed,which provide the theoretical and application basis for the key inventors to manage and promote technological innovation in the rapid market environment.
