Abstract
Made in China 2025 places a heavy focus on innovation and technology for the fulfillment of its objectives. However, the widespread diffusion and persistence of limited technology innovation practices among Chinese businesses raise doubts and concerns about their capacity to deploy the necessary innovation capabilities for the achievements foreseen by the plan. By using Chinese and international datasets, this contribution illustrates the situation of innovation in China, provides direct evidence about a gap within firms’ knowledge absorption process, discusses the influence of this gap and some of its determinants. Policy implications useful to trace scenarios about the perspectives of Made in China 2025 are drawn.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
