Abstract Entrepreneurial innovation and its link to performance are attracting increasing attention among academics, entrepreneurs, and innovators alike. Our purpose is to prioritise and investigate the relative impact of distinct categories and types of innovation on multidimensional performance areas of new ventures. Accordingly, we relate the recently developed 10 Types of Innovation model to a comprehensive performance measurement framework specific to entrepreneurial new ventures and conduct empirical validation of the model for performance impacts. The 10 Types model shows reasonable psychometric properties and appears to effectively portray the innovation outcome conundrum. Our empirical evidence shows that the influence of innovation categories – configuration, offering, and experience – is substantively different across various performance criteria. Conversely, the effects of innovation types on different performance areas (financial, customer, process, and learning) do not present important variations, and thus do not seem to be contingent upon the nature of the performance measures considered.

创新成果对创业新企业的绩效影响

摘要 创业创新及其与绩效的联系越来越受到学者、企业家和创新者的关注。我们的目的是优先考虑和调查不同类别和类型的创新对新企业多维绩效领域的相对影响。因此，我们将最近开发的 10 种创新模型与专门针对创业新企业的综合绩效衡量框架联系起来，并对模型的绩效影响进行实证验证。10 种类型模型显示了合理的心理测量特性，似乎有效地描述了创新成果难题。我们的经验证据表明，创新类别的影响——配置、产品、和经验——在不同的绩效标准中存在本质上的不同。相反，创新类型对不同绩效领域（财务、客户、流程和学习）的影响并没有呈现出重要的变化，因此似乎并不取决于所考虑的绩效指标的性质。
