Through the summary, the authorproposed the learning cost composition in this part,which including introductioncost,transaction cost,training cost,equipment cost,marketing cost and investigationcost,research and development cost.In this section, through theoretical analysis,theauthor has established the relation model of diversification, technology diversificationand learning cost, and puts forward the research hypothesis.In the second part,the author send questionnaires investigation to over100enterprises,in order to get more useful information,In the stage of the settingquestionnaire problems,we have got advice from experts and entrepreneurs,and selectthe measurement indicators of diversification and technology diversification;in thestage of sending questionnaires,we choose top manager and CTO to be the object;inthe stage of collecting information, track the filling of questionnaires;then didreliability and validity analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis to the datacollected,and got the results of empirical research.the results are analyzed anddiscussed at last.In the last section,the author introduced research conclusion.
