Features: Compared to world-class enterprises in developed countries, we found that in addition to the differences in the overall property rights system, the significant gap in technological capabilities is the fundamental reason why Chinese enterprises cannot match them. In today's era, he who controls technology controls the world. Based on the experience of national technological development, this book designs a process for the upgrading of technological capabilities in technologically lagging countries from the perspective of corporate behavior evolution, and finally proposes detailed macro and micro policy recommendations. Empirical evidence shows that the development of technological capabilities in Chinese enterprises is a function of multiple variables, including the technological environment, market structure, the complexity of corporate systems, the behavior of entrepreneurs, and the allocation of corporate resources. The essence of upgrading technological capabilities lies in establishing a corporate cultural gene, enabling enterprises to truly become learning organizations in the continuous flow of technological transformation, and deeply understanding the principles of technology selection, acquisition, absorption, improvement, and creation. Technological capabilities are an excellent conceptual framework that, based on the existing research framework of "technological innovation," can continuously expand the knowledge for enterprises to acquire competitive advantages and achieve sustainable development.
