ABSTRACT

According to the basic theory of total quality management, the connotation and process of technological innovation, this paper explores the antecedents that affect the coupling of total quality management and technological innovation process. The results show that market data identification, demand scale, knowledge gatekeeper ability and organization dynamic ability are the core factors that affect the coupling of quality management and technological innovation process. Among them, demand scale is the most critical antecedent variable, followed by market data identification.
