Based on the SCP paradigm， it analyzed the configuration effects of institutional context-social embedding-organizational learning by using 42 cases of enterprises that carried out R&D internationalization. The interactive effect of institutional context， social embedding and organizational learning on enterprise innovation performance was discussed through fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis （fsQCA） method. It finds that there are two recipes for achieving high performance of R&D internationalization： system-led development of the market base-building and the alliance of breakthrough under the complexity of the environment， which shows that the path to achieve high innovation performance is not unique； there are three configurations leading to not-high innovation performance. When the host country exists obvious institutional distance， it is not conducive to achieve innovation performance by internal embedding. It further reveal the complex causes of R&D internationalization and innovation in Chinese enterprises. It is of great significance for enterprises to make a correct decision and plan on R&D internationalization.
