In 2004, in the report of "Innovative America" by the Council on Competitiveness, innovation ecosystem was first proposed, which has provide a new way for companies to compete in such a competitive society. Then, several literatures have focused on this area, and Chinese scholars have especially done some research about the enterprise technological innovation ecosystem. Insigma, as one of...
The collaborative innovation of university-industry was discussed from the science of system perspective. On basis of the synergetic perspective, this paper analyzes the dynamic evolution law of innovation capability of university under the process of university-industry collaborative innovation. The research indicates that: the science of system can be used to solve the uncertainty of administrative...
Firms rely more and more on external collaboration partners to reduce the R&D cost as well as shorten the product life cycle. Open innovation become a new paradigm for firms to become competitive in a highly dynamic business environment. Firm's collaboration partner extents from customers, suppliers to university, research institute, and even competitors, the resource based view hold that different...
SMEs are the important part of China's economy and innovation entities. Based on theoretical analysis, this paper puts forward an applicable innovation models for SMEs. An in-depth case study of Beijing Tianyu Communication Equipment Co. Ltd is carried out to show how a firm's various kinds of technical and non-technical innovations influenced its business performance. This paper concludes that ingenious...
Chinese enterprises are inherently weak in scientific research and little input in this area, resulting an always weak position to participate in international competition. Enterprises whose target is fame and fortune are most concerned whether the scientific research promotes innovation performance. In this study, on the basis of in-depth study of knowledge management and science-based innovation...
Knowledge network embeddedness describes the external institutional arrangement of a firm's relationship with other firms to draw knowledge from external sources. Disruptive innovation has been a critical strategy to achieve indigenous technological innovations and catching-up in developing countries. The central tenet of our argument is that how well a disrupter performs is contingent upon the extent...
How did enterprise innovation capability convolutes with external environment in the context of economic transition? In this paper, a longitude study is operated, using the case of Sunyard, to show the rule as well as the mechanism underlying the coevolution process. On the one hand, this paper reveals how enterprise adapt to the environment to pursue resources for product innovation under multi-institutional...
We have taken a study to assess the factors that affect the extent of that firms introduce resources from the external. We have factors of firm size, R&D capability, absorptive capability, need for knowledge, need for complementary assets, the opening culture and the technology protection institutions based on related literature. We have taken a regression analysis in two types of openness as...
This paper takes Newzt in China as an example to study the open innovation in SMEs. And other SMEs can learn from it. After describing the situation of SMEs and introducing the conception of open innovation shortly and taking the open innovation model of Chesbrough's open innovation, the paper studies Newzt's background, situation and the result of open innovation. We can draw a conclusion from this...
Based on previous researches on Technology Innovation Capability (TIC), this paper has redefined TIC as a firm's technology acquisition and application capability both internally and externally under innovation strategy based on capital investment. The Open Innovation (OI) Theory emphasizes the significance of external technology and resources, which has made a breakthrough of traditional Close Innovation...
This study has examined the connection of activities in innovation related resource management and the profit status due to technological innovation based on a sample 219 firms in Chinese power equipment manufacturing industry. We have taken correlation and regression analysis to test the impact of different activities on 3 types of innovation. The result has provided us with the key activities which...
Developing countries focus on radical innovation naturally when they implement the technology innovation to catch up with Developed countries. However, recent studies have indicated a high rate of failures in the radical innovation. This paper illustrates the obstacles for developing countries to implement the radical innovation. Then we introduce a new innovation method - Open-Disruptive Innovation...
Although the disruptive innovation (DI) theory of Christensen has nowadays been accepted by academics and practitioners as a powerful innovation strategy, many have only viewed it from a particular perspective such as market development that is not sufficient to judge confidently if an early stage DI case has a good chance to succeed. In this paper, we shall present an assessment framework that captures...
With the economics and society globalization, international university-industry collaboration (which happens cross boundaries) is emerging, which is distinguish from the university network and from the usual university-industry collaboration in one country. Integrating open innovation, R&D globalization, national innovation system, and university-industry knowledge transfer, the study examines...
This paper describes the results of a exploratory case study illustrating how the knowledge is transformed and created during the process of U-I collaboration in China. To describe the knowledge transform tendency, a theoretical framework is developed by reference to the Information Space which of Boisot (1995). Seven stages of knowledge co-creation in U-I collaboration are identified: Demand Codification,...
This paper studies the critical factors that SMEs should pay attention to when they managed their innovation networks to improve their innovation competences. We investigated 105 SMEs distributed in different industries with most of them in manufacture industry and got 204 valid questionnaires. The survey results show that there are 4 factors which influence SMEs innovation performance, i.e. partner...
Open innovation provides a framework how firms can benefit from external sources of knowledge. Absorptive capacity explains how firms can create and capture value from in-sourcing external knowledge. Therefore, absorptive capacity and open innovation should be linked to each other. In this study, we provide theoretical model and evidence from a case study how innovating firms in rapidly developing...
This paper discussed Chinese SMEspsila innovation competence based on total innovation management (TIM). We chose 2 high- tech SMEs as initial evidence to demonstrate our TIM model. It is believed that innovation is a process so that SMEs should improve their innovation competence in follow six dimensions to obtain excellent performance: 1) strategic innovation, 2) technologic innovation; 3) marketing...
Based on the analysis of modes of university-industry collaborative innovation in manufacturing industry and innovation characteristics in service, this thesis puts forward a fresh way to classify university industry collaborative innovation in service into four modes from two different perspectives. The basic characteristics of the four modes are compared. By looking at a typical case, this thesis...
This paper offers a quantitive estimation of the knowledge spillover effect of university on the productivity of university science park(USP) in China, using a large sample of panel data which include 39 university science parks from 2001 to 2005. It is revealed that universities benefit USPpsilas productivity as a general rule. Furthermore, we found that the spillover effect possesses a remarkably...
