Driving Factors and Realization Path for Key Core Technology Research:A Configuration Analysis of the Integrated Circuit Industry as an Example
Key core technologies play an important strategic role in our country,but the key driving element mechanisms and achievable paths for key core technologies are not yet clarified.In order to reveal the effective driving factors and configuration path patterns for key core technology research,on the basis of clarifying the conceptual characteristics of key core technologies and the technology-organization-environment theoretical framework,taking the integrated circuit industry as an example,qualitative comparative analysis and necessary condition analysis are used to study the necessary conditions and achievable paths for key core technology research in 28 provinces in China.The findings include:(1)Digital technology,R&D investment intensity,market environment and government support are the critical factors that determine key core technology research.(2)There are three effective paths to tackle key core technologies,including market-oriented under high digital technology,industry-oriented under high organizational concentration,and government-oriented under high R&D funding,which are based on the technical layer,supported by organization and environment layer.(3)Industrial collaboration can make up for the lack of innovative elements in key core technology research,and the influence of government funding cannot be ignored.Therefore,further promoting research on key core technologies in the integrated circuit industry,to enrich the capital stock of the new generation of information technology and increase the R&D capital flow are the two major focus points.While actively providing government financial support for the key problems of key core technologies,it is also necessary to guide the investment of social resources and create a good external development environment for key core technologies.
