A Study On The Diffusion Mechanism Of Generic Technology And Government Behavior

Since 1990s, with the collapse of cold war and the arrival of economical globalization and the knowledge economy time, as well as the change of science and technology themselves, et al., international competition has becoming more and more severe, no matter from their forms or contents.It has gradually been recognized for the role of industrial generic technology playing in industry upgrading and economic development.industrial generic technology is fundamental to technology innovation and a shortcut to realize technology innovation. The important role that government plays in of industrial generic technology development, organization and diffusion is determined by the trend of international science and technology policy and public goods property. many scholars have studied on industrial generic technology. Unfortunately, these studies mainly focuses on the undersupply resulted from its externality and little attention is paid on its diffusion and mechanism. In China, study on generic technology starts very later and mostly focus on generic technology undersupply and government's role in generic technology undersupply.However, technology innovation itself can limitedly improve social productivity. Only by way of diffusion its potential economic benefit can be realized to enhance economic system evolution and upgrading. Owing to its fundament and dominance in national technology innovation system, we should pay more attention on generic technology innovation supply as well as on generic technology diffusion process, characteristic and mechanism, which can provides ideas to enhance the efficiency and speed of generic technology diffusion.Given this circumstances, this paper tries to probe into generic technology diffusion mechanism. It is hoped that the study drives government to wonder how to play a positive role in generic technology diffusion based on its concern on generic technology R&D. It is fundamental to raise autonomous innovation ability and international competiveness. For the study on generic technology diffusion, the paper focused on two aspects. One hand, the paper tries to probe into generic technology diffusion general process, characteristic, mechanism, and its influencing factors based on formulating generic technology diffusion. On the other hand, we try to investigate the path to influence, improve and promote diffusion process aiming to control and optimize diffusion process from the point of speed, operation and control in generic technology innovation diffusion. The former is base and the latter is goal and significance. Only through diffusion, can technology innovation maximize social and economic benefit. Therefore, government should understand the rule that generic technology innovation diffusion obeys and generic technology innovation diffusion mechanism in order to grasp generic technology innovation process from macroscopic point.This paper makes use of technical innovation science, management science, system science, geographic economy and industry economy et al. to study the question about generic technology diffusion. We adopt both normative and empirical analysis methods, as well as inducing and deduction methods, to analyze the problem of generic technology diffusion in the high technology districts, and it has great effects in the development of generic technology in high technology districts.
