Abstract Exploring complementary technology convergence and similar technology convergence is conducive to enhancing enterprise innovation capability. This paper analyzes the impact of partner diversity on technology convergence by building a multi-layer network model of organizational cooperation and technology convergence. The research shows that the geographic diversity of partners is not conducive to the occurrence of complementary technology convergence and similar technology convergence. The technological diversity of partners is conducive to complementary technology convergence but not conducive to similar technology convergence. The relationship strength between enterprises and different types of partners has different effects on complementary technology convergence and similar technology convergence. The research results can help enterprises choose appropriate partners to achieve different innovation strategies.
