Innovation in China

Challenging the Global Science and Technology System

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

China is in the midst of transitioning from a manufacturing-based economy to one driven by innovation and knowledge. This up-to-date analysis evaluates China's state-led approach to science and technology, and its successes and failures.

In recent decades, China has seen huge investments in high-tech science parks, a surge in home-grown top-ranked global companies, and a significant increase in scientific publications and patents. Helped by state policies and a flexible business culture, the country has been able to leapfrog its way to a more globally competitive position.

However, the authors argue that this approach might not yield the same level of progress going forward if China does not address serious institutional, organizational, and cultural obstacles. While not impossible, this task may well prove to be more difficult for the Chinese Communist Party than the challenges that China has faced in the past.

Rezensionen

"This highly important work gives us insightful analysis founded on a tremendous depth of scholarship and interviews. It is the most comprehensive account of China's innovation system through a western lens. Innovation in China should be required reading for anyone in governments, companies or research organisations that have engagement with Chinese partners."
Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, Senior Fellow, China Institute, University of Alberta

"In their new book, Innovation in China, Richard Appelbaum and his colleagues are offering a comprehensive and masterful account of China's innovation system, its working, and its impacts (for better and worse). A must read for those who care about innovation, China, or both."
Dan Breznitz, University of Toronto
