BCG: in conversion technologies for product innovation, China has already overtaken the United States-innovation, technology innovation-IT information
The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) pointed out in the new study, China is spending on technology commercialization stages was quietly surpassed the United States as the world's first.
In other words, the United States is trying to invent new technologies, China is to turn those ideas into commercial products to get more income .
Reports thatin 2003, the United States in spending on research on the development of China is 4 times, but in 2013, the two spent roughly equal in this . If at that stage, China's spending growth to maintain its 2003-2013 level, by 2018, at this stage, China invested $658 billion, about twice that of the US .
In recent decades in the United States use breakthrough technology in their manufacturing is still very difficult. Many of the technologies developed by the United States, but in other areas of production examples, such as tablet devices, lithium-ion batteries and photovoltaic cells and panels.
In drones, for example, the United States military in the 20th century development of drone technology, mainly used for reconnaissance, but China's Xinjiang to improve this technology, improving its ability to avoid obstacles as the world's biggest maker of commercial UAV, the manufacturers sold drones to us real estate and construction company, for aerial photography and mapping.
Report noted that East Asian production costs low is of course one of the key reasons, but another significant reason is that, in terms of national industrial policies, national Governments and enterprises pay more attention to applying technology in their manufacturing and development. In China, the development of 84% per cent of total spending on research and development spending. The past ten years, China's spending on development compound annual growth rate of up to 20%, while the United States is only 5%.
Look again in academic research in the field of manufacturing industry of China and the United States. BCG report said that in the United States, the private sector accounted for 5% of the total research budget of less than, far fewer than the 34%. Moreover, the demands of academic research on manufacturing in the United States and less attention to other countries, in China, for example, in published studies, some 38% works.
According to the following chart is not difficult to see, in terms of total research and development spending in the private sector, to 34% of China's proportion in the first place.
US Today cited the information technology and Innovation Foundation (Information Technology and Innovation Foundation) Chairman Robert Atkinson said in China, many technology companies are State-owned, and so don't have to worry about before the commercialization of massive spending on research and development will result in losses, private studies tend to get government subsidies, "Chinese enterprises have a huge advantage. ”
BCG：在转化技术为商品的创新上，中国已超越美国 - 创新,技术创新 - IT资讯
波士顿咨询集团(BCG)在最新研究中指出，中国在技术商品化阶段的开支正在悄然超越美国，成为全球第一。
换句话说，美国正在努力发明新技术，但中国却更多地将这些想法转为商品来获取收益。
报告称，2003年，美国在发展研究上的支出是中国的4倍，但在2013年，二者在这方面支出大致相当。假如中国在该阶段的支出增速保持2003-2013年的水平，到2018年，中国将在这一阶段投入6580亿美元，约为美国的两倍。
近几十年来美国在将突破性技术应用于本国制造业仍然非常艰难。有许多技术由美国开发、但产品在其他地区广泛生产的例子，比如平板设备、锂电池以及光伏电池和面板。
以无人机为例，美国军方在20世纪发展了无人机技术，主要用于侦察，但是中国的大疆创新完善了这一技术，提高了躲避障碍的能力，成为全球最大的商业无人机制造商，这家厂商把无人机出售给美国房地产和建筑公司，用于航空摄影和制图。
报告指出，东亚生产成本低固然是关键原因之一，但另一个值得注意的原因在于，在国家工业政策方面，这些国家的政府和企业更加重视将技术在本国制造业应用并发扬。在中国，发展占研发支出总开支的84%。过去十年间，中国在发展方面的支出复合年增长率高达20%左右，而美国仅为5%。
再来看看中国和美国两国在制造业领域的学术研究。BCG报告称，在美国，私营部门占总研发预算还不到5%，远远低于中国的34%。而且，美国学术研究对制造业需求的关注程度并不及其他国家，以中国为例，在已经发表的研究中，约38%涉及工程。
根据下图不难看出，在私营部门占总研发支出方面，中国以34%的比例位居第一。
US Today援引信息技术创新基金会(Information Technology and Innovation Foundation)会长Robert Atkinson称，在中国，许多科技企业都是国有的，因此并不用担心在商品化之前进行大规模研发支出将产生损失，私营企业的研究往往也能获得政府补贴，“中国企业有巨大优势。”
