This research aims to understand the applicability of the "Six Strategies of Innovation" in the highly competitive semiconductor industry with a case study of Company M, a leading global enterprise in the NOR Flash sector of semiconductor industry. We explore practice of the strategies of the "Six Strategies of Innovation" and the innovative and competitive strategies during the development of Company M. Through the analysis of secondary data from the founder's biography and public company information. Our findings reveal that throughout its growth, Company M particularly relied on five strategies from the "Six Strategies of Innovation": “Capability,” “Integration,” “Positioning,” “Simplification,” and “Framing.” The effective implementation of these strategies not only enhanced the company's responsiveness to market changes but also drove technological innovation and product development, enabling Company M to maintain a leading position in the global flash memory market. Moreover, the implementation of these strategies significantly bolstered the company's competitiveness in the global semiconductor market, especially in the flash memory sector. The study also found that Company M relied less on open innovation strategies, likely because its flash product R&D capabilities are already world-leading, thus external collaboration is not a primary strategy for innovation. Through the case study of Company M, this research systematically assesses the "Six Strategies of Innovation" theory, confirming its effectiveness in real-world business applications. It aims to provide insights into innovation strategies for the semiconductor industry, aiding companies in finding suitable paths for development amidst fierce market competition. We reveal the practical application of the "Six Strategies of Innovation" in the semiconductor industry also provide an empirical foundation for strategic planning and innovation practices in related industries, offering guidance and inspiration for enterprises in technological innovation and market transformation.
