Abstract: In different innovation life cycle stages, firms need to accumulate specific innovation capabilities to face new challenges and reach a high performance. This study aims to investigate the impacts of innovation strategies on organisational performance, and whether the relationships change in different stages. We collect data from US Patent Office (USPTO), firms' financial reports in Taiwan TEJ database, and Taiwan innovation survey in 2009 to test in regression models. The evidence shows that organisational innovation characteristics, including innovation assets, capabilities, and the strategies to integrate external resources, positively affect organisational sale performance. Organisational innovation assets and innovation capabilities have different impacts on gross profit and Tobin's Q. Furthermore, the relationship between innovation characteristics and performance changes during different innovation life cycle stages. Comparing to the impacts in the emerging stage of product and process innovation, the influences of innovation assets or capabilities on performance are weaker in the mature stage.
