Abstract

Why are Chinese private entrepreneurs able to develop innovations in China's transitional economy? This chapter tries to answer this question through a detailed comparative case study of 45 software enterprises in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Combining resourse-based and institutional perspectives we argue that Chinese private enterprises in Hangzhou were able to develop unique innovative capabilities to overcome resourse constraints and manage technical — and marketing risks while respecting the location and sector-specific constraints.
