Features: This research primarily focuses on three aspects: theory, cases, and trends. In terms of theory, the report mainly explores two key issues: the theoretical evolution and essential connotations of national innovation systems, particularly proposing eight fundamental assumptions of the theory of national innovation systems. In the case analysis, the report primarily examines the historical evolution and development trends of national innovation systems in four major developed economies in the contemporary world economy—namely the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Japan—and describes and analyzes the historical development of their main components and interrelationships. Regarding the development trends of national innovation systems, the report emphasizes the impact of economic globalization on national innovation systems and the issue of proprietary factors within national innovation systems.
