This paper taking the assets-based views, knowledge-based views and process-based views as analytical foundation, starting with the definition and measurement of MC, reviews the basic points and conclusions of the research on relationship of MC and innovation performance, then discusses particularly the theoretical boundary and impacts conditions of the relevance on MC with innovation performance. Finally, discusses the literature analysis finds and the directions of further research, in order to inspire the follow-up study.
