Research On Selection Of Chinese Auto Industry Technical Innovation Mode

With the development of integration on the global economy and technology, the technological innovation companies of the automobile industry in the world are reforming deeply, so the technological innovation has become the powerful impetus of the sustainable development in automobile industry. In the period of our new industrialization of national economy, automobile industry is the pillar industry in our national economy, it plays an important strategic role in our national economic development. However, compared with developed countries in the world, the technology innovation ability and technology skill in our China automobile industry still have a large gap. It was very important to speed up China national economic development if we strengthen the self-renovation, promote the self-renovation capability and find the suitable technology innovation mode to China automobile industry development.This assay starts with the technological innovation theory, states the connotation of innovation and varies modes of it. It contrasts and analysis the advantage, disadvantage and common point in independent innovation, imitative innovation and cooperative innovation. Then it sums up the selection of applicable conditions for varies innovation modes based on the analysis of the developing inspiration and technology innovation mode by America, Japan, and Korea automobile industry. Third, it reviews the innovation stage of China automobile industry, references the experiences from America, Japan and Korea, learns the select applicable conditions as mentioned above, constructs the technology innovation choice equation by qualitative analysis, empirical analysis the selection of technology innovation modes under present circumstance. Forth, a case is analysis by development of Chery Automobile Company. It shows the development processing of Chery, and compare the technology innovation modes by varies methods which Chery adopted in its different progress stage. Finally, this assay puts forward some opinions and suggestions from the situation of how to select the innovation modes in China automobile industry.Refer to the analysis aboved, this assay considers the selection of technology innovation depends on the market scale, degree openness, research and development level and system. The case shows China has higher degree openness, and the non-state sector has encouraged the development of automobile industry. But the technology-pulling role is not significance by the strength of research and development and size of market scale. Therefore, it proves we have a large gap for our independent-innovation ability and industry scale compared with foreign countries. View of this condition, China's automobile industry should give priority of imitative innovation and cooperative innovation, and gradually strengthening the research and development input, strength the absorbing and applying ability of the technology, then speed up the independent innovation steadily. Finally, we will have a new diversify technology innovation pattern.
