Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore whether the technology position occupied by born international enterprises can break the low-end lock-in of the global value chain. Based on the resource-based view and the reorganization search theory, this paper selects the born international enterprises as the research object, determines the technical position based on high-value patents, and incorporates the technical position into the global value chain analysis framework. The results show that: (1) Technology position helps born international enterprises to break the low-end lock of global value chain. (2) The technological content of export products plays a key intermediary role in cracking the low-end locking of technology position. (3) The dominant comparative advantage of the industry has a positive moderating effect on the cracking of technology position and low-end locking. The intensity of industry competition has a negative regulatory effect on the cracking of technology position and low-end lock-in; compared with traditional industries, technology position plays a weaker role in promoting strategic emerging industries to break the low-end lock. (4) The impact of technology position on solving the low-end locking of global value chain is more significant in born international enterprises facing high financing constraints and strong environmental regulation. The research provides theoretical support for how born international enterprises can break the low-end locking of global value chain under the constraints of insufficient innovation resources and insufficient innovation ability in the context of China 's economy, and expands the research framework of technology position.
