Function Mechanism of Intellectual Property Capability on Relay Innovation Based on CWLBGSO-DAG-Bootstrap SEM: Mediating Effect of Knowledge Matching and Moderating Effect of Relationship Learning

Taking unicorn enterprises as the research objects, this study constructs the conceptual model of function mechanism of intellectual property capability on relay innovation performance and introduces knowledge matching as the mediating variable and relationship learning as the moderating variable. Hybrid methods composed of fusion of rough set and binary firefly algorithm based on community weak connection mechanism (CWLBGSO), directed acyclic graph (DAG), and Bootstrap structural equation modeling (Bootstrap SEM) are used to carry out empirical analysis of the conceptual model of function mechanism. The empirical analysis results show that strong intellectual property capability has a positive role in promoting the relay innovation performance of unicorn enterprises, knowledge matching plays the positive mediating role between intellectual property capability and relay innovation, relationship learning plays the moderating role of the relationships between intellectual property capability and relay innovation, relationship learning plays the moderating role of the relationships between intellectual property capability and knowledge matching, and relationship learning plays the moderating role of the relationships between knowledge matching and relay innovation.
