摘要

Synergic innovation is a new paradigm, and a new progress of innovation system theory. We reviewed the evolution of innovation theory, analyzed the background of synergic innovation theory. The study on synergic innovation has been expanded from inside to outside, covered three fields, which was synergic innovation within enterprise, vertical synergic innovation inter-enterprise, horizontal synergic innovation within multi-agents. Horizontal synergic innovation is the main form of synergic innovation. Factors of synergic innovation expanded from the “University-industry-government”. Different methods have been developed to measure the synergic innovation effect and synergic degree. Furthermore influential factors and decision mechanism of synergic innovation behavior has been studied.
