It was approved that competition among corporations encouraged knowledge innovation and knowledge spillover of foreign corporation with technology advantage during foreign direct investment. However, this article utilizes cost-profit analysis to find out opposite factors which will affect knowledge spillover of FDI. It reaches a conclusion that cooperation, not completely competition, has more important effect on knowledge spillover among corporations. Cooperation in knowledge innovation and to share innovation is beneficial for the rise of technology and production in foreign corporations and domestic corporations. Meanwhile, technology gap and absorbing ability of corporations will also affect knowledge spillover through affecting production and technology cooperation. So intellectual property is important to every corporation in the course of knowledge innovation cooperation. We should take measures of government support policy on knowledge innovation cooperation and make corporations self-constraint to encourage cooperation in knowledge sharing and knowledge spillover.
