In this study, the influencing relationships of collaborative activities between large enterprises and SMEs to the performances of new product development by SMEs are identified based on the cases which focused on SMEs that had executed new product development projects with conditional purchase options. In the literature review, open innovation theory is particularly examined to strengthen the importance of technological innovation of SMEs and their internal and external innovation capabilities. In this study, the reasons why the new product development is not connected to sales in spite of high success rate of new product development projects by SMEs were comprehensively identified by evaluating performance, breach of contract purchase agreement conditions, market uncertainty, insufficient support of testing equipments and security leaks of SMEs. And therefore, these results imply that the efforts of participating companies in the projects (large enterprises and SMEs) and the efficient policy plans could make the optimal win-win ecosystem which leads to strengthening the collaboration performances between large firms and SMEs.
