| Since July 1999, according to the spirit of technological structure reform at national level, a lot of traditional large-scale technological institutes have gone through system transformation and become Sci-Tech enterprises. For these institutes, this system transformation can be regarded as a revolution, as the application of motivation mechanism to knowledge-intensive staff in technological enterprises has a strong influence on their contribution to their enterprises, which also determines the development of enterprises after the transformation. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the motivation mechanism for knowledge-intensive staff in technological enterprises.(1)IntroductionTaken domestic and international market competitions that current technological enterprises face into consideration, the author introduces the background and the significance of the present study. Based upon an analysis of general situation and characteristics of technological enterprises, a review is made on theoretical studies on human resource management and man power capital.
