The aim of this dissertation is to study how to form technological capability through effective and independent technological innovation under the background of globalization and the information economy, with the help of giving a scientific definition of enterprises'technological capability, probing into the relationship between technological capability and technological innovation, looking back on automobile industry home and abroad and analyzing deeply the two cases of independent innovation.This dissertation mainly adopts the method of the demonstration and case analysis. Firstly, on the basis of theoretic summarizing, it establishes the common route of technological capability in developing industry; Secondly, it integrates theoretic analysis with the demonstration analysis in order to investigate the actuality of technological capability and to find out the problems to be solved. The emphasis of this dissertation is to find the way out of overcoming technology dependence under the help of analyzing such cases as JAC and Chery.The main conclusions of in this dissertation are as follows:(1) Technological capability is the accumulated knowledge which is formatted in the process of persistent technology innovation. In the process, enterprises first choose, gain, absorb and create technology, then according to the experience of enterprises, format the unique knowledge of manufacture product, management and service. It emphasizes the persistent development of enterprises'technological capability and the self-strengthening function of independent innovation capability.(2) Technological capability is the basis of innovation, different innovation patterns affect the formation of technology capability by path-dependence, innovation must accord with the technological capability of enterprise.(3) The problems of path-dependence in China's auto-industry caused by the strategy "market in exchange of technology"in joint ventures. Independent innovation is the key to break path-dependence.(4) From the case of JAC, we know technology diffusion is very important in technological capability formation. According to market and its technological capability, enterprise must take proper methods to increase the ability of absorbing new technology.(5) From the case of Chery, we can conclude that Independent development is the decisive factor in the course of technological capability formation. In the opening circumstance, introduced ability person can stimulate independent development and independent development can attract ability person. The growth of independent development enterprise is the organ-carrier and resource of energy for the growth of China's technological capability,The main innovative features in this dissertation are as follows:(1) It systematically investigates the definition and formation of technological capability. Based on the actual situation, it gives author's own definition of technological capability. It emphasizes the persistent development of technological capability and self-strengthening function of independent innovative capability, studies deeply the formation stage and route of technological capability, and analyzes the stage feature by using dimensionality and matrix.(2) It gives a sound boundary of the category of independent innovation. It also analyzes the types of independent innovation, the new trend and characteristics of global innovative behavior and the relationship between technological capability and independent innovation, etc. Furthermore, it emphasizes that basic technological capability determines the type and model of independent innovation. In order to form the independent innovative capability, we must form the technological route of introducing– absorbing– independent innovation so that our automobile industry can participate in the international competition.(3) By adopting four-stage transmitting model put forward by Szulansko, it studies carefully JAC'forming process of independent innovative capability to open out its successful experience. Besides, it describes the change of technological transmit by introducing the spread model of periphery– core and Internet, and opens out the common route of technological transmit.(4) It gives a detailed description of the process of independent development in Chery by adopting dimensionality and matrix. It also introduces its development process of imitating– creative imitating– independent innovation and affirms the important status of the strategy about its independent innovation. Based on Chery's strategy of a person with ability, there is a good circle in Chery that independent innovation can promote the assembling of persons with ability, and the assembling of persons with ability can also promote the independent innovation. So it emphasizes the important function of introducing persons of abilities into Chery to transmit the technology.(5) Based at the above analyses, we put forward our own policy suggestion on how to put innovative strategy in practice and to promote technological capability in Chinese automobile industry: First, abandon the government dominant auto-industry policy, give a competitive space for small and middle enterprise; second, enterprise with independent-innovation capability and independent brand must be supported by the government; third, innovation inspirit must be advocated, benefit stimulated policy must be provided to the independent innovation enterprise by government.
