This research is aimed to employ a dynamic network perspective in order to understand how firms,\r\nwhich are positioning in a dynamic network, enhance their innovative performance by taking structural\r\nmovement. Unlike conventional social network articles focusing on the influence of structural effect,\r\nthis research highlighted the importance of how alters� attributes have a great effect on the relationship\r\nbetween firms� network structure and innovative performance. Based on a sample of 117 global hightech\r\nfirms, this research first examined how firms� structural movement in dynamic networks enhances\r\ntheir innovative performance. This paper then tested the moderating effect of network resources on the\r\nrelationships between network dynamics and innovative performance. Our findings suggested that\r\nwhen firms move into more prominent and strategic position in dynamic networks, their innovative\r\nperformance will be enhanced. Also, the results suggested that firms with abundant network resources\r\nwill strengthen the effect of network dynamics on firms� innovative performance.
