Abstract: There have been some studies on the evolution mechanism and influencing factors of the original innovation. However there is still not enough empirical research about the original innovation. In this study, we choose basic research and high-tech research of domestic universities as the research background and use multiple case study methods to analyze influential original innovation cases for empirical testing. This study selected four original innovation cases from Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University and University of Science and Technology of China. This study contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms and influencing factors of original innovation in domestic universities. This study shows that seven elements of three dimensions have a significant impact on the original innovation: the individual level (overseas background, research interests and knowledge accumulation), the team level (perseverance, innovative approaches and environment and teamwork) and the institutional level (incentive system arrangements).
