Mathematical Analysis of the Impact of Government Support and University-Enterprise Knowledge Transfer on the Innovation Performance in Rural Tourism Enterprises

Abstract

This paper provides a literature review on the relationship between government support, university-enterprise knowledge transfer, innovation capability, knowledge absorption capability, and the innovation performance of rural tourism enterprises. It explores the theoretical assessment of how government support and University-Enterprise knowledge transfer affect the innovation capability of rural tourism enterprises, subsequently influencing their innovation performance. Simultaneously, it investigates the moderating role of a firm’s knowledge absorption capability in the process of transferring university knowledge to the enterprise and its impact on innovation capability. Based on previous literature, this study proposes a theoretical framework regarding the influence of government support and university-enterprise knowledge transfer on the innovation performance of rural tourism enterprises. It also considers the mediating role of a company’s own innovation capability in this relationship and the moderating impact of knowledge absorption capacity. In future research, further empirical data are needed to validate the relationships between variables and enrich this theoretical framework.
