Since the 21st century, along with the progress of human culture and the development of economy and society, traditonal developing modes that cosume mass natural resource and sacrifice ecological environment are difficult to sustain. Many problems such as the energy short, the environment worsening as well as raw material price climb etc. is blocking the way of human development. The emergence of the endogenous economic growth theory as well as the acheivements some nations and regions having obtained lead to the great attention of the scientific innovation taking effect in enhancing the social productivity and altering the mode of social production. Countries in the world are all trying to break through the bottle-neck of economic development with scicentific progress and innovation, in order to obtain the initiative of future development. Since the 2008 international finance crisis, scientific innovation capacity, especially independent innovation capacity becomes the critical aspect for nations and regions to obtain competitive forces more than ever. Having realized the crutial role of independent innovation in impulsing economic growth, promoting social progress, enhancing region competitive forces and safeguarding national security, various countries begin to unveil positive initiative plans, measures and policies to encourage the implementation of independent innovation. The contemporary world’s competition has evolved into the competition of technological strength and the independent innovation capacity.Meanwhile, the world economic development presents the regionalizing characteristic, and region gradually becomes the the important basis for economic development. regional economies play an important role in pushing strategic adjustment of economic structure and realizing great-lead-forward development. Continous development of regional economy and intensifying competition make region independent innovation capacity become the determinant for region economy to obtain competitive advantage. Unceasingly strengthening the regional independent innovation capacity and fundamentally enhancing its economical competitive forces have become the key factor for promoting regional development.Since 60 year’s founding of People’s Republic of China, especially the reforming and opening-up policy being taken, with several generations struggle, China has realized high-speed develoment in economy and society that causes worldwide attention. Science and technology has achieved the inspiring achievement, such as obtaining numbers of world-class-level scientific and technical achievements which make important contributions to economic society development and the national defense development, having established quite complete discipline system, having rich human resources in science and technology, possessing certain independent innovation capacity, and has laid the important basis for the innovative-country construction.However, we have to pay attention that China’s science and technology undertakings still has many problems, for example, the key technologies’self-sufficiency degree is very low, the invention patent amount is small, independent innovation capacity especially the enterprise core competitive capacity is not that strong, high technology and new technology industry’s proportion is not high, many high-tech content and high added-value products depends mainly on import, science and technology input is insufficient etc. All those deficiencies cannot adapt to the urgent requirements for China to transform the economic development modes and enhance national competitive force.The history and the reality has proved that core technologies cannot be bought.A country that wants to to obtain the competitive advantage must improve its independent innovation capacity and possess self-owned intellectual property in order to realize its economic development changing from factor-drive to innovation-drive and occupy a commanding height and the initiative in the international industrial division and the global economic distribution. Therefore, keeping in view the overall situation, the whole world and the future, the Central Party Committee with Hu Jintao as general secretary make a significant stragetigy, which is to"enhance independent innovation capacity, construct innovative country".The regionalizing research of independent innovation is meaningful for the carry out of innovative country strategy.Using nnovation system theory to study rigional independent innovation plays a leading role in grasping the effect of each constrctive factor and the relations of factors, and then grasping the overall condition and the performance of rigional independent innovation. However, present researches on China’s rigional independent innovation issues are segmentary and lack of researches on the relationsihps of each constructive factor and case study. Therefore, it is nessary to take a wide and deep research in the independent innovation capacity from the aspect of China and its separate regions.This dissertation is developed basing on the above recognization and consists of the following eight chapters.Chapter One, Introduction. This chapter dwells on the introducton of the background,practical significance, the research method and path,the frame distribution and the innovation and deficiencies of the dissertation.Chapter Two, Review of Relevant Theories. This Chapter reviews the relevant theories from the aspect of classical economists’ technological progress thought, technological progress theory of regional economic development theory, economic geography’s ideas of innovation, Schumpeter’s theory of innovation and technological innovation and its current development, meanwhile, recalls the theory of national innovation systems and regional innovation systems theory.Chapter Three, Foundemental Research of Regional Independent Innovation.This chapter dwells on presenting the author’s view on the concept and cannotation of regional independent innovation as well as the author’s understanding of the constrction of regional independent innovation.It provides deep analysis on the behavior and role of innovation main body, and at the same time clarifies the function of region independent innovation’s internal operational mechanism and external environment.Chapter Four, Research on the Present Situations of China’s Regional Independent Innovation.This chapter is based on the 3rd chapter’s research, and provides a deep analysis and description of the overall input-output situation of China’s regional independent innovation, each innovation body’s current independent innovation situation and the construction situation of regional independent innovation environment. It is trying to grasp the regional independent innovation’s overall performance,the role that each innovation body playing,and the development of regional independent environment from the macro aspect and then provied a practical basis for the following chapter.Chapter Five, Comprehensive Evaluation of China’s Regional Independent Inovation Capacity. Fist of all, this chapter clarifies the concept and construction of regional independent innovation capacity based on the above chapters’analysis. Then, in order to lay stress on the role of regional independent innovation main bodies,environment,operational mechanism and their relationships, we establish an evaluation index system from the respect of the enterprises’ innovation capacity, the university and reseach institution’s innovationa capacity, innovation carriers’capacity and innovation supportive capacity to testify the technological innovation capacity,knowedge innovation capacity, innovation service capacity,innovation supportive capacity and comprehensive regional independent innovation capacity. We evaluate the innovation capacity of 30 provincial administrative areas(with our Tibet area) in China by using factor analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis method, and then devide the 30 areas into four main types:leading area, advanced area, potential area and underdeveloped area.Chapter Six, Research on the Characteristic of China’s Regional Independent Innovation Capacity. This chapter analyzes the current overall characteristic of China’s regional independent innovation capacity based on the comprehensively integreted evaluation.In addition, it also respectively analyzes the characteristic and problems of different types of areas based on the division,providing a practical guide for the following measurs and policy set.Chapter Seven, Research on Strategic Countermeasures for Enhancing China’s Regional Independent Innovation Capacity.This chapter focuses on present a foundemental idea and overall countermeasures for enhancing China’s regional independent innovation capacity according to the current situation and the characteristic of regional independent innovation capacity. Besides,in view of different area’s distinguished innovation capacity, it presents countermeasurs which are tailored to individual local conditions.Chapter Eight,Conclusion.This chapter makes a conclusion of the research work of the whole dissertation and present issues and possibilities that we can make further study and discussion.
