Research On The Environment And Mechanism Of Technology Innovation Diffusion

With the constant development of the knowledge economy, the technological innovation has already become an enterprise, area and even a decisive factor of national economic development. The innovation diffusion realizes economic influence through the innovation diffusion, the real meaning in which practice of domestic and international economic development has already proved technological innovation lies in the innovation diffusion.Innovation diffusion is carried on in certain environment and the effective innovation diffusion needs support of proper environmental factors. What the environmental factors the technological innovation includes are extensive, which are the economic development form of a country or an area, including such macroscopic factors as the productivity development level of the country, government policy, etc. The micro environments include the regional market environment, innovative network (the environment of social capital) of the area, intermediary, entrepreneur, scientific and technical personnel quality. The complexity and fuzziness of the innovation diffusion formation determine the innovation diffusion environment research complexity. The innovation diffusion environment demonstrates very strong influence and restriction on the innovation diffusion. It is determined that the innovation diffusion optimization of the environment needs urgently systematic theory to guide. So it will be significant to probe thoroughly into the innovation diffusion environment and mechanism both theoretically and practically.This paper makes a thorough and systematic study of the environment and mechanism to the innovation diffusion by combining qualitative method and quantitative method, using such theoretical methods and technological means as economics, mathematics, management, techno-economics, etc., drawing lessons from the research results of domestic and external relevant fields, which has perfected and developed the innovation diffusion theory. The full paper is made up of eight chapters altogether.Chapter one describes the basic theory in innovation diffusion. It is defined that theconcept of innovation diffusion is the result of commercialized innovation diffusion under certain environmental condition. Innovation diffusion is adopted by every member or organization in the social system at any time, and it causes the positive effect on the growth of regional economy. It has described the classification of innovation diffusion, and the author supports the idea that the quantity of market consumers of innovative products is indicated by the quantity of persons using innovation diffusion. It is also defined in this chapter the mechanism of innovation diffusion, which is divided into mathematical mechanism, motive force mechanism and incentive mechanism based on environment. It has analyzed the overflowing effect on innovation diffusion, and verified the objectivity of innovation diffusion through the analysis of examples and models. It has also described the basic theory of innovation diffusion by means of four aspects: propagate theory, substitute theory, study theory and game theory, which have established the theoretical foundation for follow-up study.Chapter two describes the inter-dynamic relation between the environmental definition and innovation diffusion. On the basis of analyzing the innovation diffusion systematic composition, the author analyzes the innovation diffusion environment profoundly, and proposes that the internal environment of diffusion is the direct influential factor of the course, regards it as the research object in this text, and defines border the innovation diffusion from four aspects of policy environment, market environment, intermediary environment and social back-up environment, which put up the theory and analyze the frame for the research of this thesis. Through analyzing inter-dynamic mechanism between innovation diffusion and environment, the author further proves that environmental factors greatly influence the course of innovation diffusion.Chapter three carries on the analysis of innovation diffusion systematically. It analyzes deeply the relevant theory and composition element of innovation diffusion from such four respects as policy environment, market environment, intermediary environment and social back-up environment, and describes the profound system to every environmental factor in the influence of innovation diffusion. In the discuss of policy environment, this essay puts forward that the core in innovation diffusion of government interference is the question of the government incentive, describes objective condition and theoretical foundation of incentive policy of innovation diffusion, sets up the environment analysis frame of the policy of innovation diffusion and analyzes the function of innovation diffusion in each element; In the discuss of market environment, this essay constructs the analytical frame of the environmental elements on the basis of relevant theories of system analysis, concludes the functioning structure for each element of market environment of innovation diffusion, it analyzes in depth influentialmechanism each element does to innovation diffusion through direct and indirect guiding strength; In intermediary environment analysis, the intermediary environment innovation diffusion has been defined, and the influence on innovation diffusion done by intermediary environment is analyzed on the basis of constructing the structure of each element of intermediary environment; In the discussion of social capital environment, the concept of social capital is defined. It is analyzed that the main expression of social capital environment is regional innovative network, and furthermore the influence of innovation diffusion done by social capital environment is discussed. The research conclusion drawn from the above has established solid theoretical foundation for the following study.Chapter four does research in comprehensive evaluation of innovation diffusion environment. The evaluation index systems of three levels of innovation diffusion environment has been set up through experts selecting; fuzzy mathematical evaluation has been adopted; the evaluation index has been quantified, all of which have avoided inconsistency and fuzziness of evaluation index dimension of innovation diffusion environment. The comment is given by five grades and the full mark will be 100. Finally, this essay evaluates the environment of innovation diffusion in Liaoning Province by way of questionnaires, which proves in example the validity of established evaluation.Chapter five carries on research on the models of innovation diffusion based on environment. Firstly, it discusses the character of traditional Bass model and expansion form of Bass model and analyzes the suitability of the multi-form model. Through the analysis of real examples of diffusion to automobile products in our country, this essay proves that Bass model has limitation to innovation diffusion when describing innovation products or technology greatly influenced by environment. A model of random diffusion based on environmental factor is constructed according to the fact above and its nature is analyzed. Therefore all potential persons adopt innovation when the environment is in ideal state. However, when the environment is not, only some of them adopt innovation, and innovation diffusion will stop halfway.Chapter six carries on research on motive force mechanism in innovation diffusion based on environment. It differentiates and analyzes the motive force of innovation diffusion and technological innovation. The motive force mechanism of diffusion based on environmental factor is defined according to this. Mechanism structure of motive force center on innovation is constructed. It has put forward to analysis frame of inherent motive force and extrinsic motive adopted by innovating. It has set up the mechanism model of inherent motive force and the motive force mechanism models of policy environment market environment, intermediary's environment and social back-up environment separately; especially in the analysis of social back-up environment it...
