Architectural innovation is a systematic innovation about the product structure and organization structure, which relaunches the connections between modules in a new way, and accordingly improves the performance of the system.Many studies show that architectural innovation also affects corporate performance.But how should a company carry out architectural innovation in different stages of its development?Why does architectural innovation affect enterprise performance?What is the path and mechanism?These questions do not find any clear answers in theory.This article, based on the study of the dynamic perspective of Geely, guided by the timeline, by use of the method of longitudinal case study, discusses the architectural innovation in different stages of enterprise development and the path and mechanism in different ways of architecture innovation to improve the corporate performance.The research finding show that if the dominant design has been formed, in the initial period, on the basis of imitating existing module, architecture innovation can form the dominant design, make parts independently and greatly reduce the cost.At the same time, it can not only improve product performance, but also improve the quality of product quality and increase income.As industrial structure gets mature and the enterprise enters into a stage of rapid growth, organization structure innovation should be applied to strengthen the role of complementary assets, so as to help improve the enterprise manufacturing capacity, the strength of brand and the relationships with customers, thus improve the flexibility of product manufacturing, simplify production process and reduce cost.At last, the architecture innovation path and the theoretical framework of influence on the enterprise performance are developed.
