Abstract
The study examines the determinants influencing corporate radical innovation performance. Five major dimensions influencing radical innovation performance were identified， namely： （1） the degree of vertical integration， （2） technological radicalness， （3）innovation openness，（4） R&D intensity， and （5） organizational integration. Seven hypotheses were proposed. Via a questionnaire survey of top 500 manufacturing companies in Taiwan， a dataset of radical innovation performance of 117 Taiwanese companies was collected and analyzed by structural equation model. The findings reveal the degree of vertical integration positively influenced the technological radicalness and innovation openness. Moreover， innovation openness and organizational integration positively influence radical innovation performance of firms. The study concludes that fine tune between structure， strategy and organizational design is the key to influence corporate radical innovation. .
