Product Technology Symbiotic Evolution Research

Since entering the 21 st century, especially after China accession to the WTO, the role and economic status of China in the world economy are becoming more and more important. The Chinese government increases innovation to the national strategic level, and puts forward public entrepreneurship, people’s innovation, fosters and develops strategic emerging industries. Nowadays product life cycle becomes more and more short, product technology update faster and faster, a lot of new technology is constantly emerging, and the relation between technology turn into increasingly complex. How to break the “black box” of the product development process and promote the generation of new technology, become the inevitable choice of winning and to obtain sustainable competitive advantage. This is a key to accelerate new product development and extension of the product.In this paper, the first chapter is the introduction. First of all, to affirmed the importance and significance of this research through elaborated this article research background; then, through the research status both at home and abroad, to analyze the characteristics and deficiencies; finally, elaborated this article research content and methods, and its innovation. The second chapter is related to technology evolution theory in this paper. Firstly, analyzed the internal motivation and external motivation, which promote technology evolution;secondly,studied the technology evolution mechanism and discussed the technology life cycle,which is divided into four stages: bud period, growth period, mature period and recession, and analyzed the relationship between the technology evolution and innovation in it; Finally based on ecological technology and according to the theory of evolution of enterprise products, enterprise technology evolution can be divided into four stages: enterprise technology practice ability phase, technology search phase, technology innovation phase and technology mature phase. The third chapter is the analysis of the symbiotic theory. This chapter expounded the three elements of symbiosis and symbiotic model, and defined the symbiosis of conditions; and then analyzed the technology symbiotic dynamic condition, including symbiotic equilibrium conditions and stability conditions. On this basis, analyzed the technology of symbiotic dynamic evolution process, probed into its mechanism, and then discusses the symbiosis behavior patterns change under this kind of change. Then from two aspects of technology and technology, technology and environment to discuss technology evolution form. Finally, under the above research and based on life cycle theory, put forward technology symbiosis life cycle, just like product life cycle and technology life cycle. The fourth chapter selected the solar energy water heater technology as an example, analyzed the symbiosis between technology and environment, technology and technology. The fifth chapter use patent data to measure the technical symbiosis. Through technical centricity measure and core- edge structure analysis to determine the core technology of the solar water heater technology and related technologies; Secondly, using Sci2 tool software analyzed the IPC classification co-occurrence, established the technical co-occurrence network; Finally, three stages in time is selected from the 1990-2014 patent data, build the technical symbiosis network topology structure, and analyzed the symbiotic evolution of the solar water heater technology from the angle of dynamic evolution. Thus demonstrates the solar energy water heater technology system, any technology is not exist in isolation, will interact with each other and mutual penetration;The implementation and development of a technology, can’t depart from the support of relevant technology or assistive technology, solar water heater is symbiosis between technology.
