“…However, there are now a growing number of studies looking into the innovation systems in China, for example, China's NIS and its transformation over the longer term (Gu et al 2009;Ping 2012), China's SIS (Xi, Lei, and Guisheng 2009), China's RIS (Kroll and Tagscherer 2009;Fu, Diez, and Schiller 2012), linkages between Chinese innovation systems and innovation capabilities at different levels (Yang, Lee, and Lin 2012), and comparative studies between nations (Wu and Fan 2010). These studies have contributed to developing understanding of formal Chinese systems of innovation, and have emphasised knowledge-push innovation activities.…”

Chinese innovation in low-cost, 'good enough' electronic products has been very active. Such products may be copies of current branded goods that are positioned as straightforward counterfeits, knock-offs, or Shanzhai. In this paper, we argue that this simplistic analysis is inadequate to describe novel approaches to the production of new goods and that a new system of innovation is emerging. This novel innovation system has a distinct set of context specific actors and intra-and inter-firm structures that have aided the technology innovations and the development of new business models. This paper employs a case study method and uses qualitative data to explore how innovations emerge in new mobile technologies and the innovation system that supports their emergence. It examines the Shanzhai mobile phone industry as a case and provides a first attempt to map the innovation system that has developed. The results suggest that the distinctive characteristics of the Chinese innovation system contribute to the innovations around the product and the production processes. It further confirms the suitability of applying the innovation system approach to Shanzhai phenomenon, and explores new forms of innovation dynamics. The paper concludes with an initial agenda for further research in this area.

“…When analysing regional economic growth, some scientists consider qualified work power, Research and Technological Development (R&D) and innovations as the main stimulators of economy (Kroll, Tagscherer 2009), whereas others distinguish the following main factors: technological innovations, human capital, accessibility of economic structure and labour market (Pinto, Guerreiro 2010).…”

The role of the factors influencing economic growth during economic recessions and the role of these factors in separate economic phases are analysed. The purpose of the research is to assess the impact of innovations on economic growth during recession. The analysis of the situation in manufacturing sectors of Lithuania during economic recession in 2007 to 2009 has revealed several characteristics of innovations for this period due to which Lithuanian manufacturing enterprises managed to successfully function and remain competitive. The influence of household consumption expenditure on the growth of GDP in Lithuania is described by the function close to the linear, so we see a direct relation between these two variables. The influence of export on GDP is described by a convex function which has showed the declining influence of export on the GDP growth in the long-term perspective. Thus, contrary to a rather popular belief in transition countries, the main engine of growth in the long-term is not export. The long-term GDP growth is impossible without stimulating the growth in household consumption expenditure.

“…It is the birthplace of the reform and opening-up policy implemented in China. As the first pilot area of the market economy, it has been the driving force of the growth of Chinese economy and achieved the highest GDP among all the provinces and municipalities for several years [23]. The high-tech industry is a significant and strategic component of Guangdong's economy, especially the electronics, information and communication technology industry.…”

Smart home energy technology has been verified to be successful for energy reduction in the residential sector. However, the current penetration rate of smart home energy technology is at a low level. Considering the factors of economy, policy, and demographics, Guangdong Province in China is a suitable region as an exemplary case to promote smart home energy technology through the urban residents. Therefore, using Guangdong as the targeting area, this research examined the factors influencing residents’ intention to adopt smart home energy technology. A theoretical model based on the theory of planned behavior and Norm Activation Model theory was developed, with special consideration of the complex technical features. A questionnaire survey was performed in Guangdong Province and the data was analyzed by PLS-SEM. The analysis results indicated that residents’ attitude towards technical performance, social norm, perceived behavioral control, and personal norm all have positive influence on the adoption intention, of which, attitude towards technical performance had the strongest effect. On the other hand, the attitude towards economic performance was found not to lead adoption intention. To explain this consequence, the discussion based on behavioral economics was proposed.
