Abstract: This paper investigates conditional configurations for high innovation performance under complex regional environments in China from a configurational perspective. The results indicate that internal R&D is neither sufficient nor necessary for high innovation performance while it's an important component of those configurations for high innovation performance. Moreover, there are five configurations for high innovation performance and eight configurations for not‐high innovation performance emergent from complex nonlinear interactions among seven influencing factors of regional innovation. The structures of configurations for high innovation performance differ from those for not‐high innovation performance, revealing an asymmetric view of causality that underpins regional innovation performance.
