Technology alliance is an effective way for enterprises to acquire knowledge and carry on technological innovation, which has been booming in the world-wide, but as an enterprise network organization, most advantage of the network has not been fully exploited, the failure rate of technology alliance is always very high. Network competence of technology alliance affects the process and results of network activities under certain particular network environment, and is critical to determine the success of the technology alliance. Therefore, how to play network competence's full role to better realize the resource integration is a problem to be solved.

Then put forward specific hypotheses and relational model.According to the research hypotheses and relational model, this paper design the questionnaire and interview outline, after making a reliability and validity test of the questionnaire, using structural equation model method analyzed. The research results show that most hypotheses have been verified, these five influence factors effect network competence at different levels, in addition, the empirical results also find that network management capacity has an positive impact on network learning capacity.
