In the era of knowledge economy, science and technology are advancing rapidly, economic globalization is also accelerating constantly, that makes the technical innovation and technological advances improve economic more and more strongly, and it results in the adjustment of industrial structure and upgrades. While which decided to fast economic growth is not only the invention and creation of new technology, but also is the spread of new technology very important. Technology diffusion makes the technology spread and apply in the economy and geographical space constantly, the diffusion of technology has become the important way to make technological progress. For a country or region of the industry, technology diffusion is not only very important, but also even more important than technical innovation itself in economics way, because it has become the resource of how the technology innovation gets social benefit. The economic benefits of a new technology are coming from the spread of new technology, if only the new technology spreads on a large scale, the whole industry and society can achieve greater social economic benefits. Industrial technology diffusion is the spread of new technology, which is also a spread process of industry spreading to the enterprises or other organizations after getting a new technology. Industrial technology diffusion has promoted the new technologies to spread among the enterprises and social organizations, it also can promote the technological level of the whole industry, and improve the operation efficiency of social organization and industrial upgrading, the technology innovation as well, and most important it can give a positive impact to social economic growth.Technology, innovation and diffusion is always a key research areas of economics, since the late 1980s, domestic and foreign scholars began to attach the research and technology diffusion, but it is rarely discussed from the angle of some one industry and technology diffusion mechanism separately, most scholars discussed technology diffusion from the technology innovation, industrial organization and industrial clusters, these researches are studied from technological innovation and there are no clear conclusion about technology diffusion, and also short of analysis framework as a whole part. This paper studies that industrial technology diffusion mechanism is more important than technical innovation, which makes the study have more theoretical and realistic significance. Based on industrial technology diffusion as research object, the paper combines of technical study, technology innovation and technology diffusion, industrial technology and the other related theories and methods, make use of the methods of combination between normative analysis and empirical analysis, quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis. The research content as follows:1.Industrial technology diffusion theoryThe aim of study on industrial technology diffusion theory is to provide complete follow-up study of theoretical background and bases. First, this paper expounds the concept of technology, analyzed the technological factors and the essence of technology. Second, the paper expounds the concept and distribution theory of technological learning and technological improvement theory, and also discusses the imitation mode and independent mode of technological learning. Third, it expounds the concept, resource and development present situation of technology innovation. Fourth, the research status of the theory of technology transfer in the world is reviewed. Fifth, the paper expounds the concept of technology diffusion, and distinguishes the concepts of technology diffusion and technology innovation using, technology diffusion and technology transfer, technology diffusion and technology innovation diffusion , analyzes the technology diffusion imitation theory, technical deadlock theory, technology evolution theory, the theory of space, time theory, equilibrium theory, the choice theory and resource demand relations theory etc. Sixth, the paper analyses the definition, connotation and characteristics of the industrial technology and connotation and characteristics of life cycle are discussed. Seventh, the emergence and development of industrial economics, and industrial economics theory.2.The influence factors of industrial technology diffusionIndustrial technology diffusion is affected by many factors. From the internal and external industries the paper analyzes the main influence factors of industrial technology diffusion, and the internal factors are decisive, external factors are conditions. Internal factors insist of organizational structure, technical properties and characteristics and industrial enterprises in scale, marketing ability, property, human resources and innovation ability. External factors insist of economic environment, policy environment, social environment, the information environment. Through analysis and comparison of the internal and external causes, the paper gives a deep thought about the influence factor of technology diffusion. 3.Industrial technology diffusion model researchThis paper analyses firstly the causes of industrial technology diffusion which is not only from the receiver's demands, but also from chasing the interests. Secondly, this chapter discusses industrial technology diffusion process, including chain process and chain loop, only if clears the process of industrial technology diffusion, innovation resources can make the efficient allocation. Finally, on the basis of analysis, the paper elaborates the industrial technology diffusion mode, including of technology innovation,demand to market,technology and market,integration and durative, the paper concludes that the technology diffusion mode is different, and also the industrial technology diffusion process.4.Industrial technology diffusion mechanism researchAccording to the study above, analysis to the industrial technology diffusion mechanism base on system height. The paper first defines the meaning and form of technology diffusion mechanism, analyses the characteristics of technology diffusion mechanism. Secondly, industrial technology diffusion mechanism is analyzed; the dynamic mechanism and incentive mechanism and restriction mechanism are mainly discussed, supply -demand mechanism and mechanisms. Supply-demand mechanism is the condition, dynamic mechanism improves the supply-demand mechanism and incentive mechanism and restraint mechanisms will constantly improve supply -demand mechanism, medi-mechanisms can promote and adjust the technology diffusion. So five mechanisms through function coupling and circulation function complete industrial technology diffusion process.5.Industrial Technology Diffusion Effects ModelOn the basis of industrial technology diffusion theory, the paper constructed the evaluation model of industrial technology diffusion effect. First of all, on the basis of the principles of indicators, the paper designed the industrial technology diffusion in the evaluation index system, the main purpose is to order to evaluate the spread of technology diffusion objectively and accurately; Second, the paper described the evaluation of technology diffusion, according to the characteristics of different methods, combined with the perspective of this study, the paper determined the principal component analysis and questionnaires for the evaluation of this method of building models, and on this basis, the industrial technology diffusion effect evaluation model is built.6.Empirical StudyAn Empirical Study of Industrial Technology Diffusion is chosen of China auto industry, combined with the proliferation of Chinese Automobile Industry Technology Status, China's automobile industry was evaluated by using of Industrial Technology Diffusion Effects in evaluation model of technology diffusion applications. The paper mainly analyzed the three variables of industrial technology diffusion investment, production and management with qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, by evaluating results to identify the main problems of the technology diffusion in China's automobile industry, and on this basis, the paper put forward for the promoting strategy of Chinese automotive industry.To sum up the whole paper, industrial technology diffusion is to obtain corresponding economic income and use the technology results to transfer technology benefits. The process of industrial technology diffusion has such characteristics as speed fast and scope wide and scale great, it makes the new technology communicate, promote and apply among the potential users, and leads to improve the level of industrial technology. Therefore technology diffusion is not only related to the realization of its value of new technical achievement, but also to the rationalization and high grade of industrial structure, new technology spreads to industries, department or other fields, and also to promote economic development and social progress.
