Overview:

As a part of “China Dream”, the Chinesegovernment has begun to promote the goal of “independent innovation” (Xi,2014). However, independent innovation does not mean closing the door to therest of the world. In fact, it cannot be successfully achieved withouttechnology transfer and open innovation between China and other countries. Internationaltechnology transfer and knowledge flows are pivotal for China to learn andcontribute to innovation to realize its innovation strategy. Moreover, bothdeveloped and developing countries can benefit during those activities. Inrecent years, significant changes have taken place in the processes ofinternational technology transfer and innovation in China, and these are notyet fully appreciated and understood. The aim of this special issue is to studythe effect of these developments on current and potential internationaltechnology transfer and innovation in (and with) China and to inform andinspire both academic researchers and practitioners. Some relevant trends inpractices are illustrated below.
