Connotation,structure and driving force of petrochemical industrial innovation chain
Both structure and driving force of innovation chain in petrochemical industry were discussed using two theories of industrial chain and innovation chain in an effort to better cultivate the petrochemical innovation chain and enhance the industrial competitiveness.Results show that(i)being the whole process of the petrochemical innovation chain,the petro-chemical industrial innovation chain itself is not only the integration of petrochemical industrial chain and innovation chain,but the chain with multiple subjects and chains.And its formation focuses on the generation of"cooperative sur-plus"of each subject in the innovation chain;(ⅱ)cultivating and improving the petrochemical innovation chain is funda-mental to enhance innovation capability and realize innovation-driven development;(ⅲ)the government should make ef-fort to forge favorable surroundings,build a reasonable system of economic distribution,and give correct guidance to sup-port the formation of industrial innovation chain;(iv)it is urgent to actively set up scientific and technological intermediar-ies of the petrochemical industry,reduce cooperation cost,and promote this innovation chain;and(v)it is necessary to give full play to big business in cooperative innovation,draw up the supervisory system,intensify the protection of intellectu-al property rights,and provide legal guarantee for the chain cooperation.In conclusion,these result provide theoretical sup-port and decision-making reference for innovation-driven development,transformation and upgrading in China's petrochem-ical industry and other industries.
