Abstract
At present, private enterprises in Sichuan Province of China are confronted with the problem of “weak in innovation and lack of stamina”. The studies on research and development (R&D) Investment of technology-intensive enterprises is of great significance in terms of optimizing the industrial structure of Sichuan Province and promoting innovation of private economy. First of all, this paper built up a model of innovation chain with R&D investment as the core through theoretical analysis; secondly, CDZS Software Company Limited, a technology-intensive private enterprise in Southwest China, was selected as the research subject; thirdly, the innovation investment of CDZS Software Company Limited was studied through descriptive and statistical analysis. Finally, the basic path of technology-intensive enterprises in R&D investment is obtained through data analysis, and the feasibility of “innovation chain theory with R&D investment as the core” was verified. From a theoretical perspective, this paper contributed to the literature on “innovation chain” and “R&D investment of technology-intensive enterprises” at a micro-level. From a practical perspective, this paper provided a reference for government’s decision-making of R&D investment activities, which is helpful in terms of improving independent innovation abilities of technology-intensive private enterprises in Sichuan Province.
