High-speed Railway Technology Innovation Study In Demand Perspective

The development of high-speed railway has greatly enhanced the international status of China’s equipment manufacturing industry,and changed the traditional low-end impression on China’s manufacturing.As a fast and large-traffic-capacity transportation,high-speed railway has a large number of sophisticated technique.The key to the rapid development of China’s high-speed rail technology is continuous innovation.In the field of technical economy,demand promotes technology innovation,and the development of high-speed rail technology is fit for various needs.The economist Joseph schumpeter once noted that "demand is the ultimate purpose of production,and production is to meet demand".Demand is the important factors affecting technology innovation.Combined with the macro environment of high-speed railway in China,the perspective of demand analysis can better clarify the relationship among markets,organizations and countries and clarify the different mechanisms of the three in high-speed railway technology innovation.Therefore,based on the analysis of existing literature on the motivation of high-speed rail technology innovation,this paper uses the generalized demand and demand pull theory to establish the demand analysis framework of high-speed railway technology innovation mechanism.From the three aspects of market demand,organizational demand and national strategic demand,we analyze the impact of demand on high-speed rail technology innovation,analyze and summarize the mechanism of different demand factors driving high-speed railway technology innovation,and finally verify the basic conclusions of this paper through empirical analysis.The results show that from 2007 to 2015,the demand for high-speed railway technology innovation in China-the coordination of production systems as a whole increased,indicating that demand plays a significant role in stimulating high-speed railway technology innovation.The three levels of demand work together to complement each other and promote the rapid progress of HSR technology innovation.Combined with the orderliness of demand at the three levels of the market,organization,and nation,and the analysis of demand-output system coordination,it is found that the impact of demand on HSR technology innovation can be divided into three phases.From 2007 to 2010,the absorption and fusion phase of the high-speed rail technology system.Market demand plays a fundamental role in stimulating market-oriented technological innovation activities.The nation ’ s strategic demands are dominant.Through "systematic transformation of results" institutional arrangements and policy incentives,the structural changes of the catch-up process are promoted in a rapid and orderly manner.From 2011 to 2013,the basic theory of high-speed rail technology system was verified and re-optimized.The organization already has a good environment for innovation and technology,and the main driving force for innovation comes from the upstream of the innovation chain-organizational needs,and the optimization of high-speed rail technology.From 2014 to 2015,high-speed rail technology system integration and re-innovation stage.The organization began to form a complete set of innovation systems and achieved technological peaks.Organization demand and nation demand together play a leading role in promoting China’s high-speed rail going out.High-speed rail technology innovation is a long-term and continuous process.It takes time and patience to absorb and digest the high-tech represented by high-speed railways.Therefore,it is necessary to make rational use of the three levels of demand.And it is a way to improve industry competitiveness for later-development country to tap the potential and characteristics of the huge market demand,use the support and guidance of the national industrial policy,and further improve the technology through the accumulation of knowledge of the organization to form a dual-engine innovation that requires both market demand and organizational innovation.The model is a way to improve the competitiveness of the industry for the late-developed countries.
