Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore ways of improving the interoperability of innovation service and corporate sustainability by strategic corporate social responsibility (SCSR), as pursued through interactions among enterprises, knowledge sharing external to enterprises and leading guidance from managers. Moreover, creating SCSR on the deployment of R&D and innovation service provides the impetus for firms to pursue sustainability. This study evaluates the relationship among variables from the perspective of organizational structure, organization strategy, R&D talent, R&D technology, uncertainty in environment, stakeholders in environment, corporate innovation capability, corporate sustainability and SCSR. This study finds that the SCSR from corporate innovation service has a significant influence on the performance of corporate sustainability. Furthermore, the variables of organizational structure and R&D talent do not have a significant impact on corporate innovation service in high-technology industries.
