A growth imbalance and deep economic bipolarization interrupt national competitiveness development. SME(small and medium-sized enterprises) have always disadvantages compared to large company. If SME want to overcome these problems, they have to strengthen competitive power by themselves and have to increase mutual cooperation power with large company. It is a crucial point for SME to enhance competitive power. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact among the innovative competence, participating attitude, mutual cooperation performance and management performance. Those of impacts appear through collaborative activity. Our research data were based on 160 SME's of manufacturing industry. Our empirical analysis results are as follows: (1) Innovative competence and participating attitude are positively related to collaborative activity. (2) Innovative competence and participating attitude are positively associated with mutual cooperation performance and management performance. (3) Collaborative activity positively mediates the relationships among innovative competence, participating attitude, mutual cooperation performance and management performance. Through the result of research, we found the importance of mutual cooperation between SME and large company. Our research suggests that we provide some contribution and implications for theoretical and managerial field. Furthermore, the limitations and future direction of our results are discussed.
