Abstract: Promoting technology diffusion is one of the major tasks in economic development in China. This has led to legislation such as the Patent Law and the National Science and Technology Achievements Diffusion Program. The diffusion of high technology such as computer-aided design (CAD) is particularly advocated, because of its strategic importance in enhancing overall manufacturing capability in the increasingly competitive global marketplace. This paper overviews recent policies and achievements in technology diffusion in China. It then analyzes how the Government and universities affect CAD technology diffusion, reporting on a survey and case studies. The results can be viewed as a model for technology diffusion in China, and can be useful for researchers and policy-makers in the field. They can also benefit business managers seeking to understand the high-tech environment in China. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
