Abstract：Phoenix Dancong tea,as a geographical indication product in China,has its industrial technology diffusion efficiency directly impacting quality improvement and market competitiveness.Based on field research,this study constructs a complex network of technology diffusion for Phoenix Dancong tea and applies social network analysis to characterize its topology,key nodes,and community structure.Results show that the network exhibits scale-free and small-world properties;twelve key gatekeeper nodes control most diffusion paths;five technical communities reflect a multi-tier diffusion pathway;and 47 isolated nodes highlight the"last-mile"challenge.A three-level strategy is proposed to enhance technology governance.
