To　obtain　a　sustainable　competitive　advantage　and　achieve　global　innovation　leadership,firms　in　China　and　other　emerging　economies　must　develop　strong　indigenous　innovation　capabilities　through　the　coevolution　of　strategy,organization,resources,and　culture.Drawing　on　current　innovation　management　theories　and　practices,this　study　proposes　four　systematic　paths　for　improving　firm　innovation　systems　(FISs),namely,the　R&D-based　internal　collaborative　FIS,the　strategic　vision-driven　FIS,the　open　and　user-driven　FIS,and　the　holistic　ecosystemdriven　FIS.This　study　contributes　to　the　systematic　approach　for　enhancing　corporate　indigenous　innovation　capability　based　on　FISs.Moreover,this　study　provides　theoretical　and　practical　insights　for　China　as　well　as　other　developing　countries　to　cultivate　world-class　enterprises　and　build　an　innovative　nation.
