Abstract: This study focuses on the basic question of "how intellectual capital affects innovation performance", integrates resource-based theory, dynamic capability theory, and knowledge-based theory, and explores the influence of intellectual capital on the innovation performance of small and medium-sized technological enterprises through a multi-level research method including literature review, theoretical derivation, and statistical analysis. The corresponding generalization and analysis are conducted for each variable, and finally an integrated model is constructed and the corresponding hypotheses in the model are derived under the guidance of theory. In the data collection stage, the relevant data of the small and medium-sized technological enterprises are obtained through the questionnaire survey method, and the sample collection is mainly aimed at the small and medium-sized technological enterprises in Guangdong Province. The respondents are mainly senior and middle managers of small and medium-sized technological enterprises in Guangdong Province. The reliability and validity of the data obtained from the survey are tested and statistically analyzed. The hypotheses in the model are verified, and the following conclusions are drawn: the intellectual capital of small and medium-sized technological enterprises in Guangdong Province has a significant role in promoting innovation performance; dynamic capabilities of small and medium-sized technological enterprises, such as proactive behavior and external knowledge acquisition are conducive to the growth of innovation performance of enterprises.
