Innovation has emerged as the main development strategy for Chinese high-tech firms. However, existing research mostly equals innovation input to R&D input and ignores to explore the impact of innovation input on innovation performance. This paper tends to establish the measurement framework of innovation input combining R&D and non-R&D input, and tests the relationship between various innovation input and innovation performance. The results show that innovation performance is influenced by the overall improvement of innovation input. Therefore, it is necessary to increase innovation input comprehensively and specifically.
