This research is based upon different stages of technology life cycle(TLC) to study the relationship between strategic fit of diversification and internationalization with performance. To review the relative researches, integratedly conceptual structure was established to study the relationship among them. In case study, this research divided the TLC to three stages. Choosing one firm which had good performance to be represent in each stage, and then collecting and analysing all firms’ growth histories of diversification and internationalization. The results can be summarized as follows: 1.stage 1: technology-market break: Apexbio for example, the growth history is from international-one to international-related. 2.stage 2: technology-market growth: Acer for example, the growth history is from national-one, national-related to national-unrelated. 3.stage 3: technology-market maturity: Dachan Greatwall for example, the growth history is from national-one, national-related to national-related. In data analysis, the top 1500 manufacturers in Taiwan were the sample space. Structured questionnaires are used to collect data, and effective returns were 91 sets. After statistic analysis, the results can be summarized as follows: 1.the relationship between diversification and performance is significant, and the performance of related diversification is better than unrelated diversification. 2.the relationship between internationalization and performance is significant, and the performance of highly-internationalization is better than lowly-internationalization. 3.the relationship between strategic fit of diversification and internationalization and performance is significant. It shows that the growth of a business is meaningful, and gives confidence to firms that are growing. 4.the relationship among TLC, strategic fit of diversification and internationalization and performance is significant. It shows that some special strategic fit has good performance in some special stage of TLC. TLC can be a strategic factor in business strategy.
