Abstract: Abstract: Taking equipment manufacturing enterprises for instance, the theoretical relationship of Supplier Involvement in New Product Development(SINPD), knowledge creation, relationship interaction, and self-determined innovation capability is analysed, and then the correlation mechanism between SINPD and the equipment manufacturers’ self-determined innovation capability is explored. By empirical tests, results show that the SINPD is significantly associated with the equipment manufacturers’ self-determined innovation capability, and the intermediary effect of knowledge creation and relationship interaction is obvious.  

Key words: SINPD, self-determined innovation capability, knowledge creation, relationship interaction
