Basic research and catch-up in China's high-speed rail industry / Liu, Xielin; Cheng, Peng; Chen, Ao   Journal Article
Liu, Xielin Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The existing literature has not studied the role of basic research in industrial catch-up in developing countries in any depth. This article takes high-speed rail as a case study in order to show how basic research has helped the industry to master imported technology and produce secondary innovations. The role of government is important in terms of coordinating the process of technology importation, digesting imported technology and innovation. The role of the home market is also very important in an era of globalisation to promote innovation in this emerging industry.

Framework for building national innovation capacity in China / Mu, Rongping; Fan, Yonggang   Journal Article
Mu, Rongping Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract With the view of becoming an innovation-driven nation by 2020, national innovation capacity (NIC) building has become a key issue for China to transform its development pattern. A series of fundamental questions, such as how to build NIC and what roles should the government play, are faced by both the government and academia. The current literature concerning NIC mainly focuses on measurement and determinant analysis, which cannot give direct and sufficient support to policy making. This paper tries to fill the gap between theoretical analysis of NIC and policies for building NIC by proposing a conceptual framework, in which the inherent connections between innovation capacity indicators and policy options for building NIC are investigated. Policy measures for building NIC in China are discussed in the end of this paper.

Internal and external sources of tacit knowledge: evidence from the Chinese optical fibre and cable industry / Fu, Xiaolan; Li, Jizhen; Johnson, Martin   Journal Article
Johnson, Martin Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract This paper provides an analysis of the relative significance of various methods of acquiring tacit knowledge within the Chinese optical fibre and cable industry. The paper contributes to the definition, understanding and investigation of tacit knowledge using firm-level data in a developing country context, helping to complete a gap in the existing broader literature on technological learning. The research suggests that in industries where tacit knowledge is a more important component of technological learning than codified knowledge, internal R&D activities and domestic peers are important knowledge sources. Additionally, universities are shown to be an important asset in creating learning organisations and provide effective knowledge sources of both tacit and codified knowledge. However, imports of equipment and licensing are a less effective learning channel in the acquisition of tacit foreign technology.

Technology spillover effects in the context of the evolution of / Xia, Enjun; Liu, Xiaohui   Journal Article
Liu, Xiaohui Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract This paper focuses on the relationship between technology spillovers in the context of the evolution of China's regional industrial structure. Based on a theoretical model, we have formally shown the impact of the evolution of the regional industrial structure and have also empirically tested technology spillovers for the period 1991-2007 in the context of the evolution of the regional industrial structure in China. The findings provide an important theoretical and practical basis for the government to formulate regional economic policies and industrial development strategies.

Technology transfer, indigenous innovation and leapfrogging in green technology: the solar-PV industry in China and India / Fu, Xiaolan; Zhang, Jing   Journal Article
Fu, Xiaolan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract In recent years China and India have achieved tremendous technological progress and development in the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry. Using case studies, this paper analyses and compares the technology progress in the solar PV industry in China and India, and discusses the role national innovation systems played in sustaining technology acquisition, adaptation and development. It illustrates that both countries adopted a strategy of mixing and sequencing different technology transfer and indigenous innovation mechanisms. The experience of both countries also suggests that a functional national environmental innovation system is important in sustaining and advancing technology acquisition, adaptation and development. This paper provides an alternative pathway for developing countries to follow in catching up with developed countries in the emergent green industries and in leapfrogging towards an internationally competitive green economy.
