Study on the Selection of Technology Innovation Mode of Pharmaceutical Industry in China Based on Entropy Method

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate technology innovation capability of pharmaceutical industry in 30 provinces(regions and cities)and explore suitable innovation mode for each type. METHODS:The entropy method was adopted to establish comprehensive evaluation mode of technology innovation capability of pharmaceutical industry. The mode was used to measure comprehensive score and ranking of pharmaceutical industry in 30 provinces(regions and cities). Those 30 provinces(regions and cities)were divided into 3 types,including high technology innovation ability(type Ⅰ),medium technology innovation ability(type Ⅱ)and low technology innovation ability(type Ⅲ),and relevant suggestions on innovation mode were put forward. RESULTS CONCLUSIONS:According to the establishment of evaluation index system that included innovation resources input capability,innovation output capability,innovation potentiality and innovation environment,significant differences were found among these regions in technology innovation capability. For those 8 provinces(regions and cities) with high technology innovation ability,such as Shandong,Jiangsu and so on,which belongs to the type Ⅰ,local pharmaceutical enterprises should adopt the innovation mode of independent innovation dominant,cooperative innovation as a supplement;for those 9 provinces(regions and cities)with medium technology innovation ability,such as Hebei,Sichuan and so on,which belongs to the type Ⅱ,local pharmaceutical enterprises should select the mode of cooperative innovation of the combination of production,teaching and research;for those 13 provinces(regions and cities)with low technology innovation ability,such as Hainan,Ningxia,which belongs to the type Ⅲ,should the mode of giving priority to imitation innovation and cooperative innovation as a supplement.
