Abstract

In Chapter 13, Liang et al. (2020) apply the conceptual perspective of an innovation ecosystem using strategy theory, in order to understand the strategies and development of Chinese multinational firms, which are latecomer. Two case studies explore the most innovative firms in the Chinese smartphone industry, Huawei and Xiaomi. The chapter identifies two complementary approaches to implementing latecomer strategies. Complementary to previous studies on technological catch-up in developing countries, the analysis of these two case studies reveals that a latecomer firm should interact and co-create value with many other players in its innovation eco-system in order to catch-up to leading country firms through innovation.
