Independent Innovation of State-owned Enterprises: Are There Other Contextual Factors Except Political Identity?

Abstract

Abstract:

Independent innovation ability of state-owned enterprises has been controversial. Except the special "identity politics", the factors affecting innovation of state-owned enterprises still remains unclear. Through the method of cases study, we select CNR Dalian Locomotive & Rolling Stock Co., LTD and FAW CAR CO., LTD as samples, both of which are state-owned enterprises and have great differences in innovation, to explore the key innovation factors of state-owned enterprises except "political identity" and analyze the relationship between them. The results show that: (1) "political identity" and its derivatives are not the key factors influencing the innovation of state-owned enterprises. (2) market structure, product structure, technology strategy, technology platform are key elements of independent innovation in state-owned enterprises. (3) there is a close interaction between the four elements: market structure, product types, technology strategy, and technology platform. Actually, the key reasons why some state-owned enterprises can achieve innovation are the "exclusive" market structure they have, their product type of Cops, and their self-independent technology strategy. Besides, those enterprises also accumulated their own technology platform.

Key words: state-owned enterprises, independent innovation, technology strategy, market structure, product types
