摘要
On the basis of more than one hundred interviews conducted in 42 firms in China's wind turbine and solar PV sectors during 2010-2013, this article seeks to specify the nature and extent of China-based technology innovation. We argue that Chinese firms have developed unique capabilities surrounding technology commercialization and manufacturing-related innovation. We provide a taxonomy for understanding such capabilities, showing the ways in which they are related to multidirectional, cross-border learning among firms. Our analysis points the way toward new frameworks for understanding national competitiveness and industrial upgrading. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
