Abstract :
This report analyzes both positive and negative aspects of China´s prospect of moving from imitation to innovation. The positive aspect is analyzed by Chinese innovation input/output index ratio and case studies of todays´ innovative companies of Korea and Japan. It is shown that China is on the right track toward innovation by following an `Imovator´ strategy. However, three impediments to be overcome are also identified by analysis of `government issues,´ `corporation issues´ and `leadership issues.´ Finally, a bright future toward innovation is projected for China with examples of successful innovation cases.
