摘要
当前,由于美国金融危机的影响,我国以劳动密集型为主的外向型发展模式受到严重冲击。虽然积极的财政政策和适度宽松的货币政策能起到暂时的缓解作用,但从长远看,只有通过企业技术创新推动企业和产业的技术进步,进而提升产品的技术和知识含量及附加值,才是破解中国企业进一步发展困局的唯一出路。因此,激发企业技术创新的动力、考察企业或产业技术创新的影响因素就具有特别重要的理论和现实意义。一国企业技术创新水平的高低受多种因素的影响,如有无高素质的企业家群体或阶层、有无行之有效的知识产权保护制度、有无健全和有效的的企业产权关系和治理结构、有无充足的R&D投入、有无完善的技术创新激励机制等,此外,市场结构也对企业的技术创新有着重要影响。鉴于现有研究大多集中于创新投入、创新激励等方面,本文拟打算从一个较为客观的层面——即市场结构与企业创新的关系的角度,研究企业技术创新问题。本研究拟从以下几个方面展开分析:
首先,通过总量和比重这两个不同的角度,对我国企业技术创新的基本状况进行分析。指出随着我国经济总量规模的迅速扩大,企业技术创新总量也在明显增长,但从企业层面看,技术创新的比重却没有得到相应的提升,甚至呈现下降趋势。
其次,论文从影响和决定市场结构的两个基本要素——即竞争程度和企业规模出发,分别对过程创新和产品创新对我国企业技术创新的影响进行分析。对市场竞争程度及其对创新影响的分析发现,竞争不足不利于我国企业的过程创新和产品创新;过度竞争会使企业对产品创新有所侧重,但并不能有效提高企业产品创新的能力,反而成为妨碍我国企业技术创新的重要因素。从企业规模及其对创新的影响的分析发现,无论是过程创新还是产品创新,大型企业都占据绝对优势,但中国的国有大型企业的创新效率和水平不高,技术创新尚未成为推动我国各类规模企业发展的重要决定因素。
再次,从我国大规模引进外资的实际情况出发,考察了外资企业的进入对我国市场结构的影响,认为外资企业的进入对我国市场结构无疑具有重要影响,但同时也发现,外资企业只是依靠其庞大的规模提高自身在我国经济以及技术创新中的地位和比重,外资企业对技术创新的诉求和积极性并不明显高于内资企业,并未像人们期盼的那样——充分发挥技术创新“龙头”作用,以带动内资企业技术创新水平的提升,相反,外资企业的进入明显刺激了我国高技术设备的引入和进口,然而,这至多是经由“拿来主义”的方式带来的某种“过程创新”,而在更有意义和更为重要的“产品创新”方面,外资企业却表现出明显的消极和抑制作用。
此外,本研究还发现,中国转型经济条件下的所特有的行政垄断是影响我国市场结构的重要甚至决定性的因素,在行政垄断保护下国有企业获得大量垄断利润,但却妨碍了我国企业技术创新水平的提升。
最后,论文分析了市场结构对不同技术创新模式的影响,指出在外资企业竞争和国有企业垄断双重挤压下,笼统提倡高端意义上的自主创新,既不现实,也不可行,模仿创新和合作创新模式可能是中小企业技术创新的主要路径和明智选择。
The labor-intensive and export-oriented development mode in China has been greatly challenged due to the financial crisis in U.S.A. recently. Although the active fiscal policy and appropriate loose monetary policy can ease it temporarily, however, in the long run, the only way of breaking the predicament for the development of enterprises in China is to innovate. Technological innovation of enterprises can promote the progress of enterprises and industries, and then improve the technology and enhance the knowledge intensivity and added value of the products. Therefore, it's both theoretically and practically significant to stimulate the technological innovation and to study the factors that impact the technological innovation of China's enterprises. There are many factors that are beneficial to a nation's innovation ability, such as the availability of high-quality entrepreneurs, the effective protection system of the intellectual property, the sound corporate ownership and governance structure, the availability of adequate R&D investment, and the perfect incentive mechanism for technological innovation. Besides, the market structure has an important impact on the technological innovation of the enterprises. Since most of the existing literatures focus on the input and incentive of innovation, this dissertation will study the relationship between the market structure and the innovation of the enterprises, in a more objective perspective.
First of all, an analysis of the basic situation of the technological innovation of the enterprises in China was provided in the pespective of both total quantity and the propotion. It shows that the total quantity of technological innovations have increased significantly with the development of national economy. However, the propotion of the technological innovations have not increased accordingly, and even have decreased when examined in the perspective of the enterprises.
Secondly, an analysis of the impact imposed by both the process innovation and product innovation on the technological innovation was provided, based on the degree of competition and the scale of the enterprises, which are the two basic factors that affect the market structure. When analyse the degree of the competition and its impact on the innovation, we found that the excessive competition is not beneficial to the technological innovation of our national enterprises. It can also be found that the excessive competition may encourage the enterprises to pay more attention to the product innovation, but it can not promote their ability to innovate, and it even can be an important factor that impedes the technological innovation. When analyze the scale of the enterprises and its impact on the technological innovation, we found that the large enterprises had absolute advantage both in the process innovation and the product innovation. But the innovation efficiency of the large state-owned enterprises in China is not high, and the technological innovation has not been the determinant of the development of enterprises with various scales.
Thirdly, since a great deal of foreign capital has been introduced in the past years, the impact of the entrance of the foreign-funded enterprises on the market structure of China was examined. It shows that the foreign-funded enterprises have an undoubtedly impact on the market structure of China, but they enhance their status and propotion in the technological innovation and even the whole economy in China only by their large scale, instead of their demand and enthusiasm for the technological innovation. In fact, theirs is no more than that of the domestic enterprises. The foreign-funded enterprises have been expected to raise the level of the technological innovation of the domestic enterprises, however, it failed. On the contrary, it have stimulated the import of the high-tech equipment, which may increase some kind of process innovation. But when it comes to the more significant and important product innovation, the foreign-funded enterprises have obviously negative effect.
It can be concluded from this study that the administrative monopoly is the most important factor and even the determinant factor, that affect the market structure in the transitional China. The state-owned enterprises have gained a great deal of monopoly profit under the protection of the administrative monopolies, but it has impeded the promotion of the technological innovation as well.
Finally, an analysis of the impact of the market strucuture on different technological innovation models was provided, the result shows that in the fierce competition from the foreign-funded enterprises and the state-owned monopoly enterprises, it is neither realistic nor feasible to advocate a high level independent innovation model. The imitative innovation model and cooperative innovation model may be more suitable for the small and medium-sized enterprises.
