... HI is a total and collaborative innovation driven by strategic vision in today's open innovation era. This new innovation paradigm is a helix of strategic innovation, collaborative innovation, total innovation and open innovation, which reflects both the innovation practice in Chinese context and the wisdom from eastern culture (Chen and Miller, 2010;Chen and Yin, 2019b;Chen et al., 2020a). HI is an original theoretical paradigm to understand the national innovation system trend that driven by the central and national government's strategic actions for catching up as well as keep national advantages Edquist, 2019). ...

... Standing on the new stage of China's reform and opening up, China have to produce more indigenous innovation instead of buying from outside or just copying the western countries and improve the dual model of combing its own capability building with acquiring knowledge from all over the world. The nation has to balance the paradox of open innovation and indigenous innovation (Chen and Ku, 2014;Chen and Yin, 2019b;Chen et al., 2020a). The concept of open innovation has recently gained widespread attention (Chesbrough, 2003;Lichtenthaler, 2011;Kankanhalli et al., 2017). ...

Over the past century and a half, global technological leadership has shifted from Europe to the United States, while scholars argue that the world has seen that it is now shifting from the United States to China due to China’s extraordinary catch-up in the past four decades, in which the public policy-oriented national innovation system development plays a critical role that might provide an alternative way for innovation-driven development especially for emerging markets. Even though encountering many challenges ahead, China is positioning itself to take over the global innovation leadership in the next few decades. Here in this article, we introduce a serious yet underexplored question: could China go beyond catch-up and become the global innovation powerhouse? Specifically, drawing from the holistic innovation perspective, which is an original theoretical paradigm for the mission-oriented innovation policy change, this article critically reviews, both qualitatively and quantitatively, China’s remarkable innovation progress and main drivers in comparison with G7 countries plus South Korea and India, trying to provide a comprehensive and critical view of state-of-the-art research on China’s innovation catch-up. We further explore the five major challenges that China must take seriously when marching toward the global innovation powerhouse. Finally, we propose a mission-oriented holistic STI policy design framework for both China and other emerging economies to go beyond catch-up in a competitive dynamic world. This article provides a new and holistic perspective to access China’s innovation progress and challenges, also generates novel insights for scholars and public agencies to contribute to global innovation development, with a shared goal of achieving global sustainable development in the post-COVID-19 pandemic world.
... Reasons behind the innovation performance gap include executives' previous misunderstanding of innovation and lack of appreciation toward corporate strategies and R&D systems or the absence of a constructive culture to attract talents and motivate innovation (Chen and Yin, 2019a). Moreover, innovation has been considered as a one-way, successive, and gradual linear process. ...
... From an ecological perspective, innovation management no longer only involves coordination across single factors (Leviäkangas et al., 2018;Chen and Yin, 2019a). Players cohabiting a holistic ecosystem should view innovation from holistic, strategic, and global perspectives. ...

To obtain a sustainable competitive advantage and achieve global innovation leadership, firms in China and other emerging economies must develop strong indigenous innovation capabilities through the coevolution of strategy, organization, resources, and culture. Drawing on current innovation management theories and practices, this study proposes four systematic paths for improving firm innovation systems (FISs), namely, the R&D-based internal collaborative FIS, the strategic vision-driven FIS, the open and user-driven FIS, and the holistic ecosystem-driven FIS. This study contributes to the systematic approach for enhancing corporate indigenous innovation capability based on FISs. Moreover, this study provides theoretical and practical insights for China as well as other developing countries to cultivate world-class enterprises and build an innovative nation.

A world with large disparities in development between rural and urban areas could never achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). Issues related to agriculture, rural areas, and farmers are fundamental to the stability and people's welfare of China as well as other developing countries. Despite the growing demand and national initiative for rural revitalization, rural innovation has received little attention in the innovation literature. Drawing from the new growth theory, institutional theory and innovation system theory, this paper proposes the rural innovation system, which is a complex socioeconomic network that aims to revitalize the countryside and achieve balanced and sustainable development. This paper compares the rural and urban innovation system, introduces a theoretical structural model of the rural innovation system, including a) technology innovation, b) institutional and management innovation, and c) community-based network and intermediary platform innovation. Then it outlines the future challenges in fostering a strong rural innovation system. The rural innovation system proposed makes direct contributions to the literature of rural studies, innovation system, and public policy, and offers both China and the world a new perspective for realizing rural revitalization, anti-poverty and global sustainable development.

Chapter
The Oxford Handbook of China Innovation provides a contemporary and authoritative view of the role of innovation in China’s extraordinary emergence. The Handbook consists of chapters written by over sixty experts from universities and research institutions worldwide, who describe and analyze this phenomenon with criticism, discussion of policy issues, and views about further development. It focuses on the microeconomic factors in China’s growth, of which the critical force has been the steady drive for innovation. It identifies the many factors instrumental in the development of innovation and evaluates those that are specific to China’s context, and those applicable to other nations. The scope of topics is comprehensive, covering China's development policies, the place of innovation in national priorities, the components of the national innovation system, and the resources required for their effective deployment. These include the institutions and policies that provide incentives and support to technological development, including people, financial mechanisms, private ownership, rule of law, and culture. The issue of foreign influence is also addressed, including the evolution of policy toward inward foreign direct investment and knowledge transfer and China’s goals for outward foreign direct investment. The chapters include discussion of the capabilities and strategies of world-class Chinese innovators, together with emerging issues such as environmental remediation, green energy, digital innovation, open innovation, mass innovation, and China’s future science and technology policy. As China emerges as a contender for global leadership in many fields, this Handbook provides a foundation for informed conjecture regarding the challenges ahead.

Innovation has proved to be a credible source for business development for various organisations, many organisations rely on their ability to innovate to produce impactful and disruptive products and services. Organisations are increasingly focusing on employing candidates or graduates with the ability to be innovative and improve business development. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) hold the responsibility to produce graduates with the capability to produce innovation and adapt to the innovative cultures and structures created by organisations. This aim of this paper is to determine the most prized innovation features of a business environment suitable for business development, this is to aid HEIs to be informed of the curriculum relevant to produce graduates capable of innovation and business development. The quantitative approach aspect of this research paper enabled the researcher to collect data using an online survey questionnaire from 69 innovation experts from the South African Business Innovation Community (Innovation Summit), and the Innovation, Sustainability and Visionary Leadership Group. The quantitative data was then analysed through inferential statistical analysis. Based on the findings from this research paper, business leadership is deemed the most prized feature of an innovative environment, along with explorative culture and brand identity. Findings from the commercialisation units further support the above findings, as they indicated that most graduates and young entrepreneurs lack leadership skills. In conclusion, entrepreneurial Higher Education Institutions should align their curriculum to industry needs, through understanding the various activities that graduates are expected to engage with in industry to contribute to business innovation and business development.

The association between entrepreneurship and innovation is strong because entrepreneurship requires innovation to be competitive in the market. Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking, acting, and living that creates value for others by providing them with opportunities to pursue their interests, and innovation is about improvement. It is the act of introducing new ideas, goods, or methods. Entrepreneurship and innovation are two entangled concepts that go hand in hand. The association between entrepreneurship and innovation is so strong that it has been said that entrepreneurs are responsible for driving innovation in society. Different studies have shown the significance of innovation in entrepreneurship. Through a literature review, this paper aims to locate what type of innovation and intensity can occur throughout the process of entrepreneurship. Differences in the concept of innovation are categorized into two orientations: nature and level of innovation. Moreover, the entrepreneurship process has been reconsidered, and based on the level and nature of innovation and detailed features of each stage, the possibility of innovation occurrence was defined.
