Abstract: Based on the perspective of supply chain integration, this study explores the internal mechanism of how enterprises can promote the evolution of technological innovation capabilities through supply chain integration through a multi-case study of three small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises. The research results show that: (1) In the context of supply chain integration, the evolution of technological innovation capability presents a dynamic process from low-order to high-order, following the path of “localized technological innovation capability - customized technological innovation capability - synergy technological innovation capability”. (2) Supply chain integration, as a key innovation practice, is a key factor affecting the evolution and upgrading of enterprise’s technology innovation capability, and there will be a dynamic transform of the model. (3) On this basis, small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises follow the mechanism of “capacity accumulation – capability extension – capability transition” to realize the evolution and upgrading of technological innovation capability. This research is useful for enriching and perfecting the further research on technological innovation and supply chain integration.

摘要： 本研究基于供应链整合的视角，通过对3家中小制造企业的纵贯式多案例研究，探索企业如何通过供应链整合推动技术创新能力演化的内在机理。研究结果显示：（1）在供应链整合情境下，技术创新能力的演化呈现出一种从低阶到高阶的动态过程，遵循这“局部型技术创新能力——定制化技术创新能力——协同型技术创新能力”的路径。（2）供应链整合作为中小制造企业一种关键性的创新实践，是影响技术创新能力演化升级的重要因素，并会随之存在模式的动态转变。（3）在此基础上，企业通过“能力积累——能力延伸——能力跃迁”的作用机理实现技术创新能力的演化升级。
