Abstract:Based on the disclosed annual report financial data and innovation information of Chinese manufacturing listed companies from 2009-2011, we identified low cost strategy, differentiation strategy and hybrid strategy by using total assets turnover ratio and operating income to sales of the Du Pont Model as the two strategic financial index. Then we examined the difference of innovation efficiency among the above competitive strategies. The empirical results show that there exists no significant difference among the competitive strategies. Some companies that implement low cost strategy present higher innovation efficiency. Innovative low cost strategic mode exists in competitive strategy typologies of Chinese manufacturing listed companies.
