摘要
创新按照程度区分，可分为突破性创新和渐进性创新。James March对这两者的界定是利用已有技术(渐进性)和利用新技术(突破性)。Richard Leifer等人对突破性创新的界定是满足以下三个条件之一即可称之为突破性创新，即①全新的产品特色；②现有功能指标提高至少5倍以上；③产品成本显著降低(至少30％)。我们在案例研究中采用Leifer等人的界定。
were driving a transformation in all sectors of our economy at a phenomenal rate. The second trend was the increased rate at which relatively small, new entrepreneurial firms were generating radical innovations and take them to markets. At the same time, mature, manufacturing - based industrial found them with a re-duced capacity for radical innovation . Radical new products play an important role in building competitive advantage and can cont-ribute significant to a firm' s growth and profitability . To regain competitiveness in the marketplace, these companies want to in-crease their capacity of discover, develop and commercialize radi-cal innovation. Our goal is to contribute to the knowledge base about radical innovation and provide insight that could advance the state of practice, especially for the Chinese company. Our re-search effort utilized case study research methodology. Through our in - depth analyses of several radical innovation projects in Chinese established firms, we got that how radical innovation should be managed. We present information and insight that we found, and offer a variety of recommendation for dealing with rad-ical innovation' s challenge. At last, we point how mature compa-ny can improve their capacity.
There are two emerging trends in the world: First, new technology and the radical innovation that come from them
