As the rapid development of technology and intense change of the external market, SMEs in our country have gone into the step with more intense competition. As one of important part of the innovative activity, technological innovation attracts more attentions, since it has become the key element to improve the core competence and profit for the enterprise. Compared with most of the big enterprises, the SMEs are disadvantage with the capital, technology and skilled person. However, they are much better in the innovative manchanism and cost. Therefor, the critical topic for the development of SME is how to take the effective technological innovation to get one part of the market.In the activity of technological innovation, organization learning ability is a critical element to measure the financial performance. I talked with the senior managers in50SME and collected200pieces of qestionnairs filled by the medium managers. Based on these datas, after analyzing the current question of the SME, I establish the frame and make the assumption on the relationship between the organization learning ability and financial performance. At last, the relationship is empirically examined. The main research content:First, the relative conceptions and literatures of technological innovation and organizational learning ability are reiewed. Then, the theritical foundation involved in the research is introduced.Second, a model of organizational learning ability which has3steps in SME is integrated. Then, a theory of hierarchical structure with6key elements is provided. Based on this theory, the organizational learning process in SME is studied. Finally, the frame and relative assumptions on the relationship between the organizational learning capability and financial performance are proposed.Third, detection type scale is established and the reliability and vedility about the scial are examined. Then, the sample is statistically analyzed. Based on abve, the influence and relationship between the organizational learning ability and financial long and short performance are examined by the way of multiple stepwise regression and hierarchical regression.
