11、ation in all its forms will be a key driver of business activities in China. Innovation ranks among the top three priorities of most German manufacturing companies in China, the reasons mainly being of market-oriented nature: to meet customer needs, to differentiate from competitors, and to attract
12、new customers. For the next three years, over 80% of surveyed companies expect an increase in their innovation output, however, only 41% of companies have a well-defined innovation strategy.

14、挑戰:人力資源(HR)和知識產權問題 調查顯示在中國,企業的人力資源(59%)和知識產權問題(46%)是影響創新的兩大障礙。人 力資源部門作為最主要的影響因素,只有四分之一的被調查者對員工的創新能力表示滿意。創新 相關的技能,如批判性思維、解決復雜的問題能力都是薄弱點。知識產權保護同樣是妨礙企業創 新的因素。類似問題在德商會 2016 年商業信心調查1 中有所體現,63%的受訪者表示,知識 產權問題成為外企研發活動不在中國展開的一大原因。 10 German Business in China Greater Shanghai Innovation Survey 2017 11 German
15、Business in China Greater Shanghai Innovation Survey 2017 Innovation performance Indicators of innovation performance For the purpose of this study and based on extensive literature research, seven indicators were used to measure innovation performance of our survey respondents. These seven indicato
16、rs all measure innovation output in terms of quantity, quality, or timing. Based on our respondents self-assessed performance in these seven dimensions, we have identified the 15% best-in-class innovators the Top Innovators. Throughout the survey, we have specifically considered what Top Innovators
17、do that differentiates them from less innovative companies. These insights allow us to derive learnings and evidence-based managerial implications.

20、r Shanghai Innovation Survey 2017 Nevertheless, we need to point out that since the identification of Top Innovators is based on self- assessment, the results are subject to bias. Our findings should be understood as correlations between key characteristics rather than proven causalities. In the fol
21、lowing the seven dimensions and surveyed companies performance along these dimensions are described in detail. Top Innovators make innovation a top priority (39% vs. 23% of other companies) have a well-defined innovation strategy (72% vs. 34% of other companies) face a dynamic market environment (78
22、% vs. 66% of other companies) market dynamism is a trigger for innovation enjoy higher autonomy from headquarters with regard to product and market decisions demonstrate a higher degree of openness for collaboration and a higher diversity of innovation partners collaborate with suppliers (78% vs. 63
23、% of other companies) and universities (56% vs. 38% of other companies) embrace Industrie 4.0 more actively (33% of Top Innovators vs. 16% of other companies engage systematically in Industrie 4.0) are more satisfied with employees innovation capability (22% vs. 8% of other companies) invest more in
24、 training of innovation capabilities than other organizations (72% vs. 49% of other companies) demonstrate stronger encouragement of innovative behavior among employees than other companies (94% vs. avg. 76%) show a higher propensity to choose high-risk projects than other companies exhibit a higher
25、 preference for radical innovation over incremental innovation than other companies 13 German Business in China Greater Shanghai Innovation Survey 2017 Innovation scope Number of innovation types practiced An innovative organization does not limit its innovation practices to one or two aspects, but
26、engages more holistically in innovative activities. The more different types of innovation an organization is engaging in, the deeper innovation is rooted in its organizational DNA. 54% of surveyed companies practice three or more types of innovation. Product/service and process innovation Number of
27、 new products/services launched in last three years compared to competitors Number of process changes in last three years compared to competitors Leading innovators demonstrate a higher rate of self-renewal, especially in terms of new product releases. Since frequency of new product/service releases
28、 are industry-specific, we asked respondents to assess their performance compared to industry peers. 21% of surveyed companies state that in the past three years they have performed stronger than most competitors in terms of new products/services launches. Leading innovators continuously adapt and r
29、einvent their value creating processes to adapt to a changing environment. Very often it is more difficult for an organization to innovate its way of doing things than to create a new product. We asked respondents to benchmark their process changes in the last three years relative to industry peers.

37、vation in comparison to German HQ Speed is a key benchmarking criterion for innovation capability. We aimed to explore how local Chinese entities perform in terms of time to market of an innovation in comparison with German headquarters. 58% of respondents state they need less time than German headq
38、uarters, whereas 21% say they need more time for introducing an innovation in China. Commercial success Share of revenue generated by products/ services launched within the last two years An innovative companys new products demonstrate a shorter time-to-revenue. The average age of the product portfo
39、lio also reflects the innovation capability of a firm. Therefore, we aimed to find out how much young products and services, i.e. those launched within the last two years, contribute to total revenue. 61% of surveyed companies indicate that new products contribute 30% or less to total turnover. For

41、 and sales performance Innovation has become a popular topic in academia and practice in recent decades, because in times of rapid technological developments, intensifying global competition, and changing customer demands, innovation is considered to be one of the main drivers of competitiveness and
42、 long-term corporate success. In fact, empirical research shows a positive relation between innovation and company performance. In this study, we establish a correlation between innovation performance and sales performance: Sales growth compared to industry average in last 3 years and innovation per

45、 As markets and economies become more dynamic, we are witnessing an increase in importance of innovation in todays organizations. Studies have repeatedly confirmed that the environment in which an organization operates influences how it acts with regard to innovation1. Companies in more turbulent ma
46、rkets are more likely to embrace innovation because they are required to adapt products and processes to changing demands. Likewise, companies that face high competitive pressure may feel the need to adopt new technologies to differentiate from competitors or to gain a cost advantage. They are force
47、d to make innovation an integral part of their business strategy in order to remain competitive. Facing an unprecedented pace of change in the market and, at the same time, rising pressure from local competitors, the above is especially true for foreign companies in China. German companies in China
48、voice particular concerns about increasing domestic competition2. Companies spend huge amounts of resources on innovation, yet many innovation initiatives fail. The problem may not necessarily be a failure to implement, but may be rooted in the lack of an innovation strategy3. While companies regularly define their overall business strategy, they hardly do so for their innovation intentions, not to speak of aligning innovation efforts with their business strategies.
