Competitive Technology Intelligence in Technology Innovation of China' s Telecom Industry

摘要

Competitive Technology Intelligence (CTI) is a kind of intelligence activity which serves the technology innovation activities and technology management in companies. Now, CTI has been implemented vastly in some Chinese companies, but the theoretical research of CTI just began. The telecom industry is related to the development and production of software and hardware. It is a technology-intensive industry which changes rapidly. China's telecom industry is stepping out of the monopolization of the government, and the innovation environment and competitive situation are complicated. Under this situation, CTI has been applied in some areas in China's telecom industry. This paper chooses the telecom industry as the survey object to reflect the advanced experience of the implementation of CTI in China. The paper investigates the companies in different parts of innovation chains of the telecom industry, and uses the technology innovation process as the main frame of the investigation. The investigation covers the basic situation of the implementation of CTI as well as the use of different CTI analysis methods in the sector. At the same time, the paper analyzes and summarizes the results of the investigation.
