Abstract:  The analysis framework of quality management, organizational innovation and organizational performance is constructed to study the relationship and interaction mechanism, and 156 manufacturing enterprises in the more developed manufacturing areas of our country are selected as samples for empirical research. The results show that quality management can directly affect technological innovation in organizational innovation, and directly affect management innovation through technological innovation. Organizational innovation is the intermediate variable of quality management on the organizational performance.
