After defining the connotation of the variables and dividing the variables into several dimensions, this paper proposed a theoretical research model, and also puts forward the research hypotheses. By correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis, the proposed hypothesis was tested, while testing the knowledge innovation as an intermediary variable whether played an intermediary role in the social network characteristics variable impacting on business performance variable. Finally, the conclusions and innovations of this study was demonstrated, this study also pointed out deficiencies and further research directions. This study reached the following conclusions:(1) Enterprises social networking features have a significant positive impact on the knowledge innovation activities. In the social network of UIC enterprises should occupy a favorable position to expand their range of coupling and continued establish new contacts with partners, by further strengthening the relationship intensity, enterprises should establish a stable, trusting relationship with partners to promote enterprise knowledge innovation. (2) Enterprise knowledge innovation activities could commendably promote business performance.
