Table 1 The conceptual transfer of knowledge diffusion models in Regional Innovation Ecosystems under the model of infectious diseases and digitalization.
SIR model | SEIR model | Knowledge diffusion model |
|---|---|---|
Pathogen | The knowledge diffused in the regional innovation ecosystem under digitization | Innovation knowledge diffusion |
Carriers | Subjects holding innovative knowledge | Innovation source |
Susceptible person | Potential diffusion knowledge subjects with diffusion ability in the system | Potential knowledge diffusion subjects |
Infected people | Subjects involved in knowledge diffusion | Recipient |
Removed people | Received the knowledge but used alternative knowledge | Immune person |
Infection rate | Ratio of knowledge diffusion entities receiving innovative knowledge | Diffusivity |
Cure rate | Ratio of innovative entities using alternative knowledge | Abandonment rate |
