Abstract

This paper discusses the innovation resource intergration pattern of high-tech entrepreneurial enterprises formed through integration of internal and external innovation resources in the face of demand change and continuous competition. The study finds that the core of the high-tech entrepreneurial enterprise’ sustainable growth is the effective integration of internal and external innovation resources, and the effective pattern of innovation resource integration is group polymerisation and chain integration. These two innovation resource integration pattern either substantiates the traditional theory of innovation resource integration and offers a guidance for growth practices of high-tech entrepreneurial enterprises in China.
