With a longitudinal case study on the development of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology of China Electronics (CEC) Panda, this study examined how Chinese firms build their technological innovation ecosystem (TIE). We explored the evolution and the driving mechanisms of TIE. The results of the study found: (1) The enterprise’s motivations for innovation and innovation efficiency can be improved when the core enterprise’s TIE is constructed. (2) The evolution of the enterprise’s TIE undergoes three stages: formation period, incubation period, and development period. (3) The interaction between the external factors from the environment and the internal factors from the agent drives the evolution of the TIE (4). Three types of driving modes develop, depending on the nature of the main factor affecting TIE development: extrapolation drive, hybrid drive, and internal drive.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam in general and in Binh Duong province in particular are experiencing tough competition in the context of global and regional international integration. This study aims at identifying the internal factors affecting business competitiveness of SMEs in the province of Binh Duong. The proposed research model consists of seven independent variables (market orientation, organizational capability, reward and compensation, learning organization, technological innovation, brand orientation, access to finance) and one dependent variable (SME's competitiveness). Both qualitative approach and quantitative approach were adopted. The quantitative research was conducted through a survey of 350 business owners or their representatives. There are 345 valid returned questionnaires. The methodology of framework test involves validity and reliability of measure scales test and checking of variables. In order to test the hypotheses the structural equation modeling is employed with the help of SPSS 16.0 and AMOS 21.0. The findings show that only two factors affecting the competitiveness of SMEs which are learning organization and access to finance. The results are not in line with the current literature because the other constructs like reward and compensation, technological innovation and brand orientation have no impact on SMEs' competitiveness. This can be explained by limited sample size, lack of mediating and control variables. Implications are offered on the influence of learning organization and access to finance on SMEs' competitiveness. Recommendations for future research are also developed.

Empirical findings from the impact of innovation investment volatility on enterprise technological innovation are mixed. Based on the punctuated equilibrium theory, this study explores the impact of innovation investment volatility on enterprise technological innovation in different life cycles and whether innovation subsidy has expected effects on enterprises’ technological innovation. By using the 205 Chinese listed enterprises in strategic emerging industries from 2010 to 2019 as the research sample, the results show that the innovation investment volatility has a positive impact on technological innovation of enterprise in the growing stage, while it has no significant effect on enterprise technological innovation in the mature and declining stages. In addition, the negative moderating effect of innovation subsidy on the relationship between innovation investment volatility and technological innovation is the most significant for enterprises in the growing stage, weakly significant for enterprises in the mature stage, and insignificant for enterprises in the declining stage.

The purpose of this study is to test the moderating effect of usage experience on antecedents and consequences to teachers’ intention of using mobile devices on e-learning context in primary and secondary schools. A survey (n=389) on teachers of elementary schools and junior high schools in Taiwan was conducted. According to the data, the simplified technology acceptance model (TAM), together with the proposed external and internal factors, performs well in determining teachers’ intention of technology acceptance under the given context. Our data also shows different relationships among antecedents, perceptions, and behavior intentions for teachers with more usage experience and those with less usage experience.

Previous studies indicate that the Porter hypothesis (PH) generates controversial and inconsistent conclusions on the impact of environmental regulation (ER) on business performance. As a result, based on the data of China’s A-share listed companies from 2016 to 2018, a moderated mediating effect model is established to examine the relationship between ER, technological innovation and business performance, as well as the moderating effect of environmental regulation flexibility (ERF) on the relationship. Results show that technological innovation has a significant mediating effect on the relationship between ER and business performance. Furthermore, ERF has a negative moderating effect on the mediating effect technological innovation exerted. At a certain degree, the flexible ER could weaken technological innovation’s mediating effects on the relationship between ER and business performance, and further could mitigate the negative impact of ER on both technological innovation and business performance. Also, an inflexible ER intensifies its negative effects on technological innovation and business performance, which is to the disadvantage of enterprises becoming the subject of environmental protection consciously and sustainably.
