Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SEMs) are the important part of economic society whose innovation activities are of great significance for building innovative country. In order to investigate how technological innovation (TI) and business model design (BMD) affect the business performance of SMEs, samples of 268 SMEs in the artificial intelligence industry and hierarchical regression models are used in the analysis. The results indicate that TI, BMD, and the matching of them have different effects on the innovation of SMEs of different sizes. These findings are helpful for enriching the theory of the fit between TI and BMD and providing theoretical guidance for the innovation activities in SEMs.

中小企业是经济社会的重要组成部分，其创新活动对建设创新型国家具有重要意义。为了研究技术创新（TI）和商业模式设计（BMD）对中小企业经营绩效的影响，以人工智能行业268家中小企业为样本，并采用层次回归模型进行分析。结果表明，TI、BMD以及它们的匹配对不同规模中小企业的创新有不同的影响。这些发现有助于丰富TI与BMD的契合理论，为SEMs的创新活动提供理论指导。
