In the network innovation environment, the knowledge trading between enterprises could be divided into traditional pattern (TP) and the E-commerce pattern (ECP).The two both have their advantages and disadvantages, so enterprises would face the problem.This paper generalizes the operation characteristics and the influence factors of two patterns.The mathematical model is used to analyze the selection mechanism of choosing two patterns, and the result illustrated that when the agency fee, the risk cost of ECP and the trading potential get bigger, the possibility that enterprises choose TP would get bigger, too; and when the explicitness of knowledge, cost of searching, trading incentive, the risk cost of TP and the reserve cost of ECP increase, the possibility that enterprises choose ECP would increase.When the reserve cost of ECP becomes big enough, it would make enterprises be more willing to choose hybrid pattern.
