Restrictive factors in the regional technological innovation ecosystem and the strategies for adaptation

Abstract

This paper, combining the theories of ecology and the regional technological innovation system (RTIS), first advances a new concept: the regional technological innovation ecosystem (RTIE), which consists of the composite organizations and the organizations with a composite environment for regional technological innovation. RTIS with characteristics and regularities of the ecosystem has provided us with a new thought for the study of RTIE, i.e. the technological factors, the market factors, ecological environment factors as well as system and policy factors, and how composite organizations cope with the changes of restrictive factors in the system along with the strategies that they should take for adaptation to these changes.
