Abstract:

With the intensification of technical standard competition among global communication enterprises, technology introduction activities that used to occur frequently in late comers have also occurred in technology leading enterprises in recent years. This article will focus on explaining the basic process of those technology leading enterprises to promote the internationalization of technical standards through technology introduction, integration of internal and external technologies. Taking the global technology leading communication enterprises from 2000 to 2019 as the research sample, this paper explores the impact of technology introduction on the internation-alization of enterprise technical standards and its implementation mechanism. The research results show that technology introduction significantly promotes the internationalization of enterprise technical standards, but technology introduction has greater influence in the current model. Because the technology and product update iteration in the communication field is very fast, the technology introduction of communication enterprises mostly aims at product innovation, which requires enterprises to digest and absorb technology in a short time to promote product competition, achieve user scale advantage, and further seize the opportunity for international competition of technical standards.

The ability of independent innovation has a positive mechanism between technology introduction and internationalization of technical standards, which indicates that the ability of independent innovation of enterprises is an important force to realize the internationalization of technology introduction and technical standards. Further mechanism inspection found that R&D investment is an important factor to help enterprises achieve independent innovation in the "introduction" stage of technology, and international trade of products and patent internationalization are important channels to promote enterprises to transform independent innovation achievements into international standards. This fully shows that after the introduction of technology, enterprises continue to enhance their independent innovation strength in the process of technology digestion and absorption, promote high-quality products and patent output, and at the same time further promote the internationalization of enterprise technology standards through international trade of products and international layout of patents.

The results of heterogeneity analysis show that the positive effect of technology introduction on the internationalization of technical standards of enterprises in developed countries has become less significant, and it has a higher positive significance for enterprises in developing countries. This shows that the technology introduction of enterprises in developed countries is mainly a way to improve their supporting technologies and assist innovation, which can make faster use of the introduced technologies and promote the internationalization of technical standards. However, enterprises in developing countries do not have strong initial technological endowments, so they need a longer technology absorption cycle to transform the introduced technologies into independent innovation, thus promoting the formation and promotion of standards. Further analysis shows that the older enterprise group only has a significant positive impact on the internationalization of technical standards in the current period of technology introduction, while the younger enterprise group has a highly significant role in promoting the internationalization of technical standards in the current period and the later period, which indicates that younger enterprises need a longer technology absorption cycle to form their own technical standards capabilities.
