Abstract

The transformation of China into an innovation-oriented nation and leading science power is now topping the agenda of Chinese government. Technological innovation is seen at the hearth of this process, and enterprises have been called to be the key driving force of this transformation. The question is: to which extent Chinese enterprises are ready to do so? The basic assumption of this research is that this depends onthe extent to which Chinese enterprises will be capable to seize the market opportunities arising from technological development and exploitation. The study of the factors influencing those capabilities is the main focus of this research. More specifically the objective is to investigate whether, and if so, how and what under conditions some specific enterprises' internal characteristics and external networks attributes, as well as the effects of formal and informal institutions, influence Chinese enteprises techological entrepreneurship capabilities. The poster reports details the research being carried out, findings obtained and proposes avenures for further studies.
