Abstract: As an important way and means for latecomers to catch up with innovation, radical innovation is attracting wide attention in the academic and industrial circles. Using the method of case study, this paper makes an in-depth discussion on the relationship between capability evolution, institutional supply and radical innovation of latecomers. It is found that the pursuit of the goal of radical innovation in latecomers needs the combined effect of internal capability and external institution. With the dynamic evolution of latecomers’ capability from ordinary capability to high-level capability, from enabling capability to empowerment capability, and the change of government industrial supply from administrative intervention to perfect service, from single policy to policy integration, latecomers have gradually completed the transition from "innovation following" to "innovation breakthrough" to "innovation leading". The above findings reveal the law of synergistic co-evolution among capability, institutional supply and radical innovation, which is of great significance for deepening theoretical understanding and carrying out theoretical practice.

摘要： 突破性创新作为企业突破技术瓶颈、实现创新赶超的重要途径和手段，正引起学界和业界的广泛关注。本文运用案例研究方法，从能力演化、制度供给视角探讨企业如何开展突破性创新。研究发现，突破性创新的实现需要内在能力和外在制度的共同作用，当内在能力实现由常规能力到高阶能力、由使能能力到赋能能力的动态演化，以及外部制度实现由干预政策向服务政策、由单一政策向政策合集的变迁，企业也将逐渐完成由创新跟随到创新突破再到创新引领的转型跨越。上述研究发现揭示了企业能力、制度供给与企业突破性创新之间的协同共演规律，对于深化理论认知以及开展理论实践，具有十分重要的意义。
