Abstract

This paper explores the factors influencing on the evolution of Regional Technological Innovation Ecosystem (RTIE) under resource constraints in the less developed region. It takes the Economic Zone of Beibu Gulf of Guangxi in China, as an empirical sample and analyses the factorial path with the data of this region through establishing the structural equation model (SEM). The results show that the 'main factor of innovation ecosystem', 'the factor of resource constraints' and 'the environmental factor in innovation system' have positive influence on the healthy development of RTIE in this region. However, the factors of 'the environment of innovation policy' and 'the micro-market environment' have negative influence on the healthy development of the RTIE. This study provides some theoretical foundations and the suggestions for future research in evolution and policies of RTIE in the less developed region.
