Abstract As the starting point of alliance formation, strategic alliance partner selection is not only the key to manage the relationship between alliance enterprises, but also the core to improve alliance performance. In order to analyze the factors that affect the alliance innovation performance from the source perspective, based on the resource dependence theory and strategic orientation as a perspective, the Yangtze River Delta strategic alliance enterprises’ research data are used to investigate the relationship between strategic alliance partner selection, knowledge search and alliance innovation performance. The research results show that：①The dualistic orientation of strategic alliance partner selection (relationship orientation and market orientation) has a significant positive correlation with alliance innovation performance. ②Knowledge search (search width and search depth) plays a mediating role in the relationship between strategic alliance partner selection and alliance innovation performance, and have no significant difference. The research clarifies the mechanism of the strategic alliance partner selection on alliance innovation performance, and provide relevant reference for Chinese strategic alliance enterprises to select the appropriate alliance partners to embed in the alliance network so as to improve their innovative performance.
