Abstract

Communication equipment and pharmaceutical are two key high-tech sectors supported by Chinese government during their development. There are obvious differences in the innovation between these two sectors. Nowadays, communication equipment sector has stronger ability to innovate than the pharmaceutical sector has in China. Using industrial innovation system framework, the innovation gap between these two sectors is explained. The differences in the knowledge base, the behavior individual and network, and the institution base between these two sectors explain why communication equipment sector has higher innovative capability than pharmaceutical sector has to a certain degree.

Key words
