Recent studies have shown that technological cooperation, patent application and industrial convergence played a critical role to create firm-level creative innovation activity. Using Report on the Korean Innovation Survey 2010 (Manufacturing Sector) and Paten Dada Base, this paper presents an empirical examination of the relationship between these three factors and firm-level creative innovation activity in Korea. However, our result of analysis shows that firm-level creative innovation activity is not created merely by increasing the degree of these three factors and but by co-working with proper cooperative partners, making valuable patents in quality and doing strategic convergence to get necessary technologies. So we can say that partner of technological cooperation, quality of patent application and strategic behavior of industrial convergence are major determinants to induce firm-level creative innovation activity alternatively.
