Abstract
The previous research on independent innovation ability has explored the impact of technological innovation performance on it, and lacked the common influence of knowledge integration ability and technological innovation performance on independent innovation ability. This paper introduces knowledge integration ability into independent innovation capability model to carry out empirical examination. The results verify the establishment of this model: There was a significant positive correlation between technological innovation performance and independent innovation capability, knowledge integration ability and independent innovation capability; there was a significant interactive effect between technological innovation performance and knowledge integration ability.
