This research investigates the mechanism of coupling relationship between enterprise key resources acquisition capabilities (KRACs) and technological innovation capabilities (TICs) in open innovation pattern. An evaluation model of coupling relations is set up by means of synergistic theory, which including efficiency function, coupling degree function, coupling degree index system, as well as coupling coordination function. Then, by taking SY corporation as a case, the study employs the evaluation model to evaluate the coupling degree of KRACs and TICs. The results show that the two factors of SY company both are in the state of middle coupling degree and coordination degree. The paper, on the one hand, fills the gap about the theory research between business KRACs and TICs in open innovation. On the other hand, this present provides a theoretical basis and practical guidance for enterprises to evaluate properly and monitor the coupling coordinated development between KRACs and TICs.
