1, uniqueness
In the same industry, there are some common and universal technologies among enterprises producing similar products, which exist in the form of technical specifications, standard processes, general equipment and so on. This common technical capability is owned by all enterprises. However, the core technical ability is different, which is unique to an enterprise. Every successful enterprise has its own unique characteristics in its core technical ability, which is not easy to be imitated by other enterprises or potential competitors. An enterprise will also take various measures such as patent application and technical secrecy to ensure that the core technology will not be leaked out. It is impossible for any enterprise to establish and develop its own core technological capabilities by simply imitating other enterprises.
2, the key
If an enterprise wants to gain a foothold in the fierce market competition, it must provide products and services with good quality and reasonable price to the market, and it must have a high technical level behind it. The core technical ability of an enterprise is often the technical key of a certain aspect, which controls the technical commanding heights of the same industry, enabling enterprises to produce products different from and superior to other enterprises and win greater market share. Core technical competence is also the basis for enterprises to implement technological innovation.
Step 3 be strict
The core technical ability is formed by the accumulation of experience gained by long-term study and trial in the development process of enterprises, which is generally obtained at a considerable cost, so it has relative stability. When the external environment changes, this kind of stability is easily manifested as some inertia that resists change, that is, rigidity. Any kind of technological innovation requires some changes to the original technological system, and the rigidity of core technological capabilities may hinder change and innovation.
The role of enterprise's core technological capability and technological innovation activities is two-way. Core technological capability affects technological innovation, and innovation activities will also affect the formation and development of enterprise's core technological capability. In fact, the process of innovation is the process of accumulating experience, increasing knowledge, perfecting organization and cultivating talents, and the core technical ability of an enterprise is the derivative of a series of innovative decisions and long-term innovative practices made by the enterprise in its development history.
