Many scholars in domestic and foreign have done a lot of research about the impact of innovation environmental factors on enterprises technological innovation. However, there are still some problems to be solved at least. Firstly, there is a conflicting conclusions about the study both at home and abroad that is the impact of government policy on enterprise technological innovation. The conflicting conclusions for these studies may be caused by the nonlinear effects of the government incentives on enterprise technological innovation. However, the current research on this issue is relatively few, and also lack of empirical test in micro-enterprise level. Secondly, using the Granger causality to explore the relationship between the regional environment and enterprise technological innovation in the last few decades is the common method. However, this is tend to easily form a false relationship between the regional environment and technological innovation by Granger causality. Therefore, the new methods need to be introduce to further explore the contemporaneous causality between regional environment and enterprise technological innovation. Finally, study on the relationship between the supply chain and enterprise technological innovation in both domestic and foreign which are mostly focus on the impact of supplier involvement, or customer involvement on technological innovation. Ignoring the relationship between enterprises and suppliers or customers has effect on enterprise technological innovation in the "relationship" of Chinese society. Based on this, taking284enterprises in China’s strategic emerging industries as the study sample to solve these above three research problems. For this purpose, this study not only helps to enrich and deepen the innovation theory, adding the firm-level empirical evidence on emerging economies, but also to introduce appropriate policies and improve the enterprise technological innovation.The major completed work in this paper as follows:(1) Using nonlinear regression analysis of the unbalanced panel data, shows that government stimulus policies does exist the nonlinearity impact on the enterprise technological innovation. The more government subsidies and tax refunds are not more conducive to increase enterprise R&D investment and innovation output. There is a certain positive range for the government subsidies and tax refunds; if the government subsidies or tax refunds in the interval range, they will have positive impact on the enterprise R&D investment and innovation output, otherwise will have a negative impact. (2) Introducing a directed acyclic graph (DAG) to respectively investigate the contemporaneous causality between the openness, financial development, science-education development, economic development and enterprise technological innovation in this paper. Research shows that:the contemporaneous causality between regional openness and technological innovation depending on the differently selected indicators. The regional financial development, science and education development have the indirectly impact on innovation output by directly effect on enterprise R&D investment and R&D volatility. However, the economic growth of a region is a necessary condition of enterprise technological innovation, but not sufficient condition.(3) Proposing the concept of supplier concentration, customer concentration et al. in order to measure the enterprises’supply chain relationships which is representing the degree of close relationship between enterprise and supplier/customer. And then, exploring the impact of supply chain relationships on enterprise technological innovation by the regression of counting statistical analysis based on the unbalanced panel data. Empirical study shows that:the supplier concentration and customer concentration are both have significantly negative impact on enterprise technological innovation. And also the impact of the supplier concentration and customer concentration on technological innovation are mutually substituted of each other.
