Recently, regional innovation ability has become the basic condition to support regional economic growth and improve the industrial overall competitiveness. In the sight of international situation, economic strength and innovation ability has become the key of national competitiveness. In terms of domestic changing economic trend, it becomes more and more important to do research on regional innovation system. Meanwhile, a noticeable new phenomenon has appeared. From 1970s, small enterprises in the worldwide became to rise and play an important role in many countries. In the same way, SME play an important part in Chinese economy. The fact proved that, where the SME develop well, the economy also develops well in this district. Contrary, where the SME develop slowly, the economy also develops slowly. In the regional innovation system where the main way of resources distribution is market system, SME are not only the practice subject to transform the R&D achievements to the demanding products but also the behavior to transfer the market information of science and technology to the scientific research institutions. As a result, it is very important to do research on the role positioning and growth countermeasures of SME in regional innovation system.On the summary and objective evaluation of RIS theory domestic and overseas, this paper analyzes the regional distribution of Chinese SME and finds that there is a typical correlation between regional distribution of SME and regional innovation ability. This paper also analyzes the innovation advantages of the correlation according to the features of SME's scale, science and technology, private and cluster and mainly studies the role situation of SME in RIS recently.This paper studies the operational mechanism of SME in RIS through the theory of dynamic game and finds that, usually SME are likely to cooperate with universities to do some projects with low complexity and risk and the mode of cooperative innovation are varies. In different situation, all modes can reach game equilibrium, and specific cooperation mode is determined by certain situation. It is complicated for SME to cooperate with others. The existing and changing of many factors have some affects on game equilibrium. The factors that affect the cooperation between SME and other enterprises are the expecting payment of consigners, the available innovation resources of SME and other enterprises, negative utility function and the distribution of interest on cooperation. In a word, although it is important and urgent for SME to cooperate with other enterprises in RIS, the cooperation between them is more complicated than we think.This paper first takes use of co-integration method to set up a model of SME's contribution to innovation driving forces in RIS and finds that regardless of short-term or long-term, the direct interference of government has positive significant affect on innovation performance of RIS and the promotion to innovation of Enterprises, Colleges and Institutes is not obvious. The R&D input elasticity of SME in RIS is only 0.0547 in short-term, but in the long-term the elasticity is the biggest in all the innovation subjects. This paper does a detail analysis of the elasticity and puts some suggestions. In order to bring RIS into full play and make the conclusion more reliable and useful, this paper uses system dynamics method. According to the static system structure of SME role position in RIS, the paper design a dynamic system simulation model of SME role position in RIS, so it is possible to study the operational mode of RIS from system lever. Through the simulation of operation situation of Chinese RIS, this paper finds that regardless of the direct source of innovation funs or the support to innovation subject of government, the input of SME has important affect on the output performance of RIS. As a result, the paper gets a conclusion that with the development of Chinese economy, it is imperative to make SME the basic of RIS and the core subject of technology innovation.Finally, according to the conclusion from empirical analysis, this paper puts forwards that in order to make SME grow healthy and fast, SME in the RIS should transform role by reinforcing the consciousness of SME's subjective position and then promote the role upgrading by constructing enterprise cluster and building favorable regional environment for SME's growth.
