With the rapid business environment changes, the interaction of corporations becomes more and more complex. They are no longer just the relationship between upstream and downstream firms. Consequently, value chain analysis is not appropriate to analyze the relationship between corporations under the situation. Because of the reason, this study uses the concept of business ecosystem which is widely used in recent years. Business ecosystem is a group of corporations which create and share value jointly and classifys corporations into four roles- keystones, hub landlords, dominators and niche players. The purpose is to connect one corporation with others appropriately in today''s business environment. On account of the different characteristics and strategy behavior of the four roles, we can realize a corporation’s features and position in a business ecosystem by distinguishing the role of the corporation. According to their features and position, corporations could development a better strategy and enhance their competitiveness. Scholars often used qualitative research methods, such as a case study approach and historical analysis, to analyze business ecosystem and distinguish the role of the corporation. This study is not the same with past research, but use a quantitative research method. Three stage DEA-technology development capability, technology diffusion capability and value creation capability, is the research methodology of this study and using patent indicators as variables to analyze R&D performance of 20 major LED corporations in 2010 and then distinguish the role of corporations. The study finds that Nichia is keystone, Cree and Philips Lumileds is dominator, SamsungLed is hub landlord and other corporations are niche players.
