Abstract: Relay innovation is a new and unique innovation pattern which conforms to the law of technology innovation of strategic emerging enterprises. This research uses discourse analysis method, takes strategic emerging enterprises as research object, excavates the induction factors of relay innovation, and constructs the induction mechanism of relay innovation of strategic emerging enterprises. The results show that:(1) The discourse model of induction mechanism of relay innovation of strategic emerging enterprises includes four induction factors:trigger force, enabling force, situational force and disturbing force. (2) Every induction factor can be further subdivided into many subcategories. For instance, trigger force includes interest expectation, strategy orientation and entrepreneur cognition. (3) Each factor has a different effect on relay innovation. Trigger force is a direct factor of relay innovation of strategic emerging enterprises. Enabling force is a direct factor of relay innovation of strategic emerging enterprises, but also an indirect factor of relay innovation of strategic emerging enterprises. Situational force and disturbing force both have positive moderating effects on the relationship between trigger force and relay innovation.

Key words: relay innovation, induction mechanism, strategic emerging enterprises, discourse analysis
