Essays About The Technological Going Global Strategy Of Chinese Firms: International Patenting Perspective

China, once the world’s largest source of technological innovation, and once one of the highest in the world technology advance, has ancient Four great inventions. The compass has brought the Age of Discovery, the Gutenberg printing press ushered in a renaissance, and improved gunpowder spread in the West shed lights in the dawn of hot weapons. Needham pointed out, the ancient Chinese science and technology for human development has made many important contributions. Ancient Chinese technique spread globally is an important contribution to human civilization. After years of economic reform and development, China at door of the great rejuvenation again, then this time, whether China can still become a global technology innovation Heights, whether it is able to regain the glory of the technological civilization? China can be transformed from the world’s factory to the brain of the world. The “Made in China” mean to be upgraded to the "Created in China / Innovated in China".Re-climbing the peak technology, implementing the techniques "go global" is the core to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and make a significant contribution to human civilization once again. It is also the symbol of the transformation and upgrading of China’s economy, and building an innovative country. Therefore, the technical characteristics of Chinese innovation, and whether China has the world-class technological innovation and technological strength should be re-examined. Can Chinese firms benefit from the internationalization of technology, is one of the most important issues of innovation and China research.This article focus on the important phenomenon observed in Chinese innovating firms. Trying to use the Chinese overseas patent application behavior,to study the technical level of China’s international status, and find the Chinese go global patterns change and innovation in China’s true value.This research is a phenomenon-oriented kinds of work. In order to capture the full picture of Chinese overseas patent application with the Chinese technology go global trends. This research review the institutional context, theoretical mechanisms of macro and micro "determinants" and "economic consequences“ at multiple research levels.We established a relative solid framework for understanding the "Technology Go Global" behavior of Chinese firms. We found that the Technology Go Global is quite similar to the OFDI and International Trade. It has both the micro strategy properties and the macro statistics characteristics of national. Our research is specific focus on the multi-level comparing.In terms of research content, the paper is divided into four parts, namely, institutional back ground, theory building, macro analysis and micro analysis.First. We analyze the institution background for Technology go global behavior of Chinese firms. Then we using the heterogeneous firm theory, the organization perspective of firms and product life cycle to construct the theoretical framework for further analysis. Third, we analysis the determinant from the Linder Hypothesis and the economic consequences in the Trade Structure and understand the connection between International Patenting and the development and transformation of China economy. Last, we focus on the micro level analysis and found the effect of firm level branding strategy and total factor productivity to impact the international patenting behavior. And found the technology go global benefiting the firm in the exporting and foreign direct investment. Our result showing that the international trade theory and the “go global” strategy is closely connected with the International patenting behavior and the research methods and topic could be both exchanged or extended.Our main result could be listed as follow:First, the technology going out is closely related to destination’s national economic and technological capability. Technology is determined by the ability to go out and level of economic development of a country’s domestic technological innovation, and technology choice is in the host country rely on the host country market size and distance.Second, the traditional trade theory can be applied to explain the mechanism of international technology flows. Linder Hypothesis is also true in the technical effect of international liquidity, the dominant mechanism of international technology and traditional trading mechanisms were similar.Third, the technology going out of the country is a driving force to upgrade the industrial structure. A national technology going out will make bilateral trade structure more similar. This reflects the process of going out in the technical is transnational technology diffusion and learning process. The upgrading of China’s economic structure and industrial restructuring to the developed countries can be achieved through more frequent technology flows and exchanges.Fourth, the company’s technology going out is a heterogeneous strategic choice behavior of firms, the company’s own productivity is the deciding factor in the core technology to go.Fifth, the better the company’s brand awareness, the more corporate technology going out Technical protection recognition and corporate brand strategy is complementary.Sixth, technology companies’ technology going out can significantly promote its exports volume, export prices and market share, and this phenomenon is in the most micro levels significantly. Each relevant patent in the host country can bring the firms’ related products’ export price increased by 18%, the market share increased 76 percent compared with the previous share.Seventh, firm’s technology going out could promote foreign direct investment, but the impetus appears only good firms in means of TPF and a high level of regional market economy. Lack of capability to exert going out strategy will cost the OFDI to cover the burden of technology going out.We using the novel dataset to investigate the new research question and bring some insights for the literatures. The research could be contributed to the literature in several ways as follow:First. Innovation in the Research direction. We raised the new question about how China’s patenting abroad activity emerging and what is the consequences. The phenomenon of technology going out is quietly emerging in China but the attention and the detail analysis is few. But as the international patent represented the upgrading of China’s competitiveness from manufacturing to the innovation and technology development. Means the dawn of “Innovated in China” and it should get more attention.Second. Innovation in the challenge of existing theory about innovation. Traditional theory have been focused on the north countries’ innovation but assume and accept south countries only imitate and learn. Our research showing this not the case anymore.And phenomena means more and more research should focus on the research and patent activity in the emerging market or south countries. Our research provide some insights about the global technology innovation and diffusion theories.Third. Innovation in the research material. We using the newly merged dataset to empirical test the determinant and consequence of international patenting in very detail level. Our result is free from many kinds of omitted variables and shed lights on the further micro level mechanism due to ours specification. We hoping the idea constructing dataset and empirics could help the literature development.Fourth, our research is a substantial contribution to what is Chinese patent value and how well the China patent system going on. We reveal the actual value in the going global patenting, which help firm export more and charge higher price. Our founding is a important respond to the extensive criticism to the China patent system and the doubt about the Chinese innovation’s technology content.
