Abstract: This paper divides the innovation process into knowledge innovation, research and development innovation and product innovation, and uses the three stage DEA model to study the innovative efficiency with the perspective of innovation value chain. This research shows that knowledge innovation efficiency is 0.582, the R&D innovation efficiency is 0.284 and the product innovation efficiency is 0.529. Meanwhile the efficiencies of eastern region are significantly higher than the central and western regions, especially in R&D innovation efficiency. Based on the conclusion above, this paper takes advantage of two-dimensional matrix to classify the regional innovation efficiency into four types for every innovative stage and finds that different regions should choose its appropriate innovation efficiency promotion path according to their own advantages and disadvantages.

Key words: innovation value chain, regional innovation efficiency, path of improvement, three stage DEA Model
