Research On Construction Of The National Innovation System Based On Transformation Of Economic Development Mode In China

In the 30 years since the reform and opening-up, China has achieved the tremendous success in the economic development. It has not only enjoyed an average annual GDP growth rate of over 9% resulting in the remarkable improvement in the national strength and the people's living conditions and the international status has continued to rise, but also successfully achieved the progressive economic transformation, which attracts the world's attention and many countries are keen to follow suit. Nevertheless, this economic miracle has not been made without pain--the rapid development has brought about grave pollution and excessive consumption of resources and the China's economic growth has been typical of the so-called"extensive mode of growth", which is characterized by high investment, high consumption, intensive pollution, low output, inferior quality and low benefit.With the mounting pressure brought about by the environmental constrains and the severe shortage of energy, the advantages derived from the primary factor of production which China possessed in the past several decades are beginning to diminish. Thus, China has to realize three fundamental shifts, that is, from the quantity-oriented mode of economic growth to quality-oriented mode of economic growth, from the mode of being extensive to that of being intensive, from being technology imported to being innovation-oriented. What must be pointed out is that efforts that made by enterprises will not be enough to promote the transformation of the mode of national economic growth and to improve the level of innovation, the reasonable and feasible system must be set up to ensure the optimum allocation of resources and promotion of technological innovation at national level. Generally speaking, the quality and the sustainability of a country's economic growth are largely determined by its innovation capacity. Therefore, the Chinese Central Government should continuously lay the stress on the drawing up the innovative technology development strategy and play a guiding role in the transformation of economic growth mode by developing a state scientific and technological innovation system.Based on the academic standards of economics, this paper mainly applies system analysis methodology and it also achieves the synthesis of many analysis methods, i.e. The synthesis of empirical analysis method and normative analysis method, the synthesis of quantity and quality analysis method, and the synthesis of theoretical analysis method and actual case studies, etc.This paper is divided into seven chapters. The introduction lays out the background of the problem, the significance of the study, the methodologies applied, the structure and the main points to be made, and the main innovative points.Chapter 2 points out the direction for the subsequent study on the construction of China's national innovation system aiming at the shifts economic growth mode by summarizing the research findings on the national innovation systems both domestically and abroad.Chapter 3 analyses the economic growth mode and the construction of national innovation system. Firstly, it analyzes the deciding factors and formation mechanism in determining the shifts of economic growth model; and then, makes a research on the definition and structure of national innovation system; thirdly, discusses the exerting influence of national innovation system on the economic growth model; last but not the least, puts forward the theoretical composition of knowledge innovation system from the following four perspectives, namely knowledge innovation system, technology innovation system, knowledge dissemination system, and knowledge application system, as the Chinese national innovation system.The fourth chapter makes a research on the current situation and existing issues of the shifts of China's economic growth mode as well as its causes of that. Moreover, in accordance with the current status quo of the extensive development of China's economy, it also analyzes the pressing unsolved concerns, which mainly includes that: the energy reduction may set restrictions against China's economy development, the ecology protection and emissions reduction might impede the sustainable development of Chinese economy, a relatively lower industry quality could set limitation on the better development of Chinese economy and lastly a wider gap between the rich and the poor in China's society would endanger the economy sustainability. Finally, this chapter may discuss the reasons to the problems mentioned above from the following perspectives such as the singularity of the way of economic development, the deficiency of the system construction in the process of the economic transition and the severe dependence on natural resources. The fifth chapter makes an empirical analysis on the evolution and performance of China's national innovation system. The research on the process of evolution can be divided into four stages, which are: the exploration of the sciencitific and technology system reform, the comprehensive reforming stage of scientific research system, innovation stage for enterprises and the stage of the construction of an innovation-oriented country; the performance of this system can be classified as synthetic construction, the establishment of dimensionality-oriented index of China's national innovation system and its international comparison. Among those, the synthetic construction for that system includes collection and arrangement of relative date, national choices, standardization of index date, determination of indexes weight and synthetic index; the establishment of dimensionality-oriented index comprises the systematic index ranking of knowledge and technological innovation,intellectual communication and knowledge application; China's national innovation system and its international comparison is composed of an international reference of systematic knowledge and technological innovation,intellectual communication and knowledge application.In the sixth chapter, it is mainly about comparison and reference of national innovation system in major economies. It can be divided into two parts. On the one hand, the first part makes a special analysis of major economies such as the U.S. (United States), Japan, E.U. (the European Union) and South Korea. On the other hand, on the basis of the above analysis, it also explore on the implication of China's national innovation system, which includes the sci-tech innovation as a basic national developing strategy, a perfect institutional framework and favorable atmosphere for creation, the optimization structure of national innovation system, emphasizes on the important status of knowledge in the process of economy development and positive government behaviors in the construction of national innovation system.The final chapter gives thought to the strategies of the construction of the national innovation system which can promote the shifts of economic development mode. Specifically including that constructing the so-called'Two Modes'national innovation system society, implementing the strategy of developing the country by relying on science and technology and talented people, implementing the strategy of the shift from the comparative advantages to the competitive advantages and constructing the strategy of becoming an economic powerful state in the world.
