With the continuous acceleration of technological innovation and increasingly fierce market competition, technological innovation network has become a new type of cooperative innovation mode to solve the problem of technological uncertainty, resource scarcity and limited internal innovation capability. However, due to the divisive faultlines caused by the difference in the degree of aggregation of relevant attributes among network enterprises, the bipolar characteristics of similarity and complementarity among enterprises have gradually come to the fore, making the technological innovation network often show loose coupling characteristics, which will have an important impact on the performance of enterprises' cooperative innovation. In order to explore the divisive faultlines, which is a key feature of technological innovation network, this paper reviews the related literature research, summarizes the dimension division, result mechanism and action mechanism of divisive faultlines from the connotation evolution of divisive faultlines, and finally proposes the future research direction of divisive faultlines in technological innovation network.
