中国产业技术学习过程研究

Despite the significant research progress in the field of technological learning relevant to developing countries, there is very literature concerning China. This project funded by NSF aims to start filling this gap by systematically examing the learning processes of China's CTV (Color TVs), Shipbuilding and Car Industries. Novel contribution of this project includes: (1)summarizing the main features of learning within local firms; (2) describing the dominant learning process; (3) demonstrating similarities and differences in technological learning between China and other NIEs;(4)drawing out implications for corporate strategies and government policies, which are helpful to domestic firms to succeed in the increasingly fierce competiton from multinational firms. Supported by NSF over the three year period, members of the research project have published 12 papers in Chinese journals and one paper in the international conference. Three papers have been published or accepted by international journals such as Research Policy, Technovation and Industry & Innovation. Because of his familarity with the field of China's technological learning, the sponsor of the team, XIE Wei, through cooperation with foreign experts, had finished the background report of 'Strengths and Weaknesses of Innovation Clusters and Learning Capabilities in China before it Joins the Multilateral Trade System' for the annual flagship report of Industrial Development Report 2002/2003, recently published by UNIDO.

产业技术学习过程研究，不但对我国产业提高提高竞争力具有重大的现实意义，同时也是国际技术创新研究的前沿课题。本项研究将揭示产业技术学习过程的新模式（技术引进—生产能力—创新能力），分析产业发展中的“技术锁定”现象并提出打破锁定的方法，识别产业技术学习过程中的障碍因素，在此基础上，最后提出促进产业技术学习的政策建议。
