Abstract This study builds theoretical model based on innovation theory,business ecosystem theory and social capital theory to investigate how four configurations of product innovation and business model innovation affect firm performance and also the moderating effects of social capital.This empirical research with data from 174 emerging technology firms,finds that the four configurations of product innovation and business model innovation have different effects on firm performance.The results indicates that blend tactics are more beneficial for firm performance than pure tactic.More importantly,this study finds that two types of social ties have different moderating effects on the relationships of configurations between firm performance.Emerging technology firms should adopt blend tactics rather than pure tactic to promote firm performance,and build suitable social ties
