Abstract

Based on the theory of complex adaptive system (CAS), we analyzed the complexity of regional innovation system (RIS). And then we established the AIITD evolutional model for revealing inherent law of RIS, which referred to agglomeration, networking, institutional thickness and degeneration. Subsequently we analyzed three mechanisms, resource allocation, internal controllability and adaptive spiral, to examine how the RIS evolve from one stage to another within the AIITD model. Lastly, we used a case to describe the AIITD evolutional model in four aspects.
