打破跨国公司垄断就是自主创新吗

Breaking Multinational's Technology Monopoly Does Not Mean Indigenous Innovation

一种流行的观点认为,打破跨国公司的垄断就是自主创新。在这种思维的影响下,相当多的国家课题经费投向了所谓的战略技术领域,以期打破跨国公司的垄断。提出了在市场经济和科技全球化的今天,技术变化层出不穷,打破跨国公司垄断并不等于自主创新,没有垄断的创新是真正的具有突破性的创新,在他人已经垄断技术的基础上可以进行大量改进性、结构性、工艺性的创新。没有一个公司可以垄断所有产业发展的技术。这是一个你中有我、我中有你的时代,因此,开发自己的技术,有效地利用他人的技术,是赢得创新竞争的前提。

A popular view is that the purpose of indigenous innovation is to break out the multinational＇s technology monopoly. This approach makes university and research institute the key actors while government takes the leading role. We show that this kind of approach makes firms as irrelevant, no sense of market use. It is an approach that will lead to limited value for China. We need to make smart innovation by better use of global knowledge.
