Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2019, vol. 148, issue C

Abstract: This study highlights the key trends and emerging shifts in China's approach to governing innovation and tackles pertaining misconceptions regarding the locus of the Chinese government in the national innovation system. China has become the world's second largest R&D spender and it is fast climbing the global value chains. However, not without costly efforts and resounding failures. In a process of perpetual experimentation, China's policymaking is changing fast as it trial-tests new policies.
