Abstract :
Traditional manufacturing industry has a great influence on China´s economic growth in the previous years, but it has encountered difficulties in the process of industrial evolution. To achieve a sustainable development, it must start to conduct organizational innovation. This article traces the relationship between organizational innovation and industrial evolution for traditional manufacturing, and provides an empirical analysis with 130 non-state-owned traditional manufacturing enterprises in Zhejiang province. The conclusion is that there is a positive correlation between organizational innovation and industrial evolution. With an analysis of how five attributes of industrial evolution influences organizational innovation, we further conclude that only one attribute of industrial evolution has a negative influence to organizational innovation.
