With the rapid development of science and technology, technological capability has become the key to maintain and gain competitive advantage in modern enterprises and countries. The Sustainable development of economic in China rely on increasing manufacturing capability as well as the ability to create new products and new technology promotion, in order to achieve the transition from "Made in China" into "Created in China". However, the technological capability of enterprise is not spontaneously formed, and learning plays an important role in the accumulative process of capability and technology knowledge. Professor Lundvall, the distinguished scholar in technological innovation field, has identified two technology learning modes : Science-based learning(Science Learning, STI Learning) and Experience-based learning(Experiential Learning, DUI Learning). To effectively employ the complementarity of the STI/DUI learning and optimize the use of knowledge resources might be an effective way to improve the transition of technological capability for Chinese manufacturing enterprises. Therefore, this paper puts forward two core questions: one is whether the combination of STI learning and DUI learning contributes to the development of technology capabilities of manufacturing enterprises? The other is how STI / DUI learning influences the transition of technological capability? This paper launches the research exactly around the proposed questions.Focused on the basic research thesis “How STI / DUI learning influences the transition of technological capability”, this paper explores the effect of double embedding of STI/DUI learning on the transition of the three technological capability of Process and Production organization, Product-centered, Equipment-related activities in China, as well as the moderate effect of environmental dynamism. First, the paper systematically arranges the related researches in STI / DUI learning, technological capabilities and their relationship. Then, the paper carries out a multiple-case study on three typical electronics manufacturing enterprises, and proposes nine initial propositions about the relationship between STI/DUI learning and the transition of the technological capability of Process and Production organization, Product-centered, Equipment-related activities. Thirdly, the paper presents the hypotheses and conceptual model on the relationship between STI/DUI learning and the transition of the technological capability of Process and Production organization, Product-centered, Equipment-related activities. At last, the paper conducts an empirical test based on 92 samples of electronics manufacturing companies using multiple regression, hierarchical regression and ANOVA analysis. After the above analysis process, this paper draws the following conclusions:(1)STI /DUI learning affect the technological capability transition of Process and production organization, Product-centered, Equipment-related activities.(2)STI learning and DUI learning are mutual complementarity, and they influence the technological capability transition of Process and production organization, Product-centered, Equipment-related activities.(3)The dynamics of technology environment adjust the relationship between STI/DUI learning and the technological capability transition.(4)Different types of technological capability have quite different transition speed.In conclusion, the paper deepens the understanding for STI/DUI learning and the transition of technological capability. Meanwhile, the paper have managerial implications for Chinese electronic manufacturing companies on how to adjust and combine STI/DUI learning strategies according to external technology environment.
