Features: With the development of the socialist market economy, China's economy has become increasingly closely linked with the global economy, and the competition faced by enterprises has also become more intense. Especially with the advent of the knowledge economy era, this has brought both opportunities for development and severe challenges to China. To secure a place in the international economic competition of the 21st century, we can only rely on technological progress, seize opportunities, and meet challenges through continuous technological innovation. General Secretary Jiang Zemin clearly pointed out: "It is important to establish an innovation mechanism as a key goal of the socialist market economy system, especially to establish a sound and effective innovation system for enterprises as a crucial component of building modern enterprise systems and a key step in improving the management of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises." Therefore, it is also very necessary for us to carry out research on innovation theory in order to explore a path for technological innovation that suits China's actual conditions. This book attempts to make a preliminary effort in this field through discussions on the basic theories and policies of technological innovation.
