| Abstract: Chinese government began to promote innovation capacity-building in 1993 when programs for Technology Development Center (TDC) were authorized by central government. The government further released the “Outline of Medium and Long Term Plan for National Science & Technology Development (2006-2020)”, in which being an innovation-driven country becomes one of the goals of China by 2020. Thereafter, Chinese central government issued the supportive policies and released 76 detailed policy documents to implement the Outline, while local governments issued over 1,700 policy documents to strengthen the technology development and related commercialization as well as innovation capacity-building of firms. Firms’ innovation capability building is the key for transforming the national innovation system from one focusing on the public research institutes and universities to a firm-centered system. This talk consists of four parts, namely: (1) the evolution of national innovation system in China; (2) the evolution of the innovation capacity of enterprises in China, particularly the case of TDC; (3) the policy framework for firms’ innovation capability building in China; (4) the future trend of innovation management in enterprises. |
