Abstract

China is developing an ‘innovation-oriented nation’ and meanwhile meeting challenges in both innovation practice and research. This chapter contributes to the book that introduces a problem-oriented approach to develop innovation research to a Chinese context that responses to the increasing challenges.
Three questions will be focused on: 1) What are the main problems and challenges of innovation and
research in China to become a front runner in the knowledge economy? 2) What is a problem-oriented
innovation approach? and 3) How does it conceptualize the China’s innovation challenge? Briefly, this
chapter deepens the understanding of a new conceptual framework of a problem-oriented approach
to innovation research and suggests new methods of technology assessment to China. It also provides
implications for researchers in other cultural contexts around the world.
