北京中关村科技园区被认为是中国最具创新力的地区。本文是基于ZGC公司之间的定量调查，捕捉企业的合作模式。该研究由德国研究协会（DFG）资助。在技术升级和创新的过程中，北京以及其他发展中国家的公司利用源自外国公司或大学和公共研究机构的知识。本文提出的研究结果证实，ZGC公司在相同程度上与这两种知识来源有关。与外国公司的合作有助于ZGC公司获得新创意并以新产品进入市场，而与大学的合作主要用于设计新产品。因此，合作模式表明ZGC可以从不同来源吸收新知识。然而，并非所有的高科技公司都能够在创新过程中利用国际联系，因为其中约有一半不具备必要的能力。
Zhongguancun Science Park (ZGC) in Beijing is considered the most innovative region in China. This paper is based on a quantitative survey among ZGC companies that captures the cooperation patterns of the firms. The survey was funded by the German Research Association (DFG). In the process of technological upgrading and innovation, companies in Beijing—as well as in other developing countries—make use of knowledge originating in foreign companies or in universities and public research organizations. The findings presented in this paper confirm that ZGC companies are linked to both sources of knowledge to the same extent. Cooperation with foreign companies helps ZGC companies to get new ideas and to enter the market with new products, whereas cooperation with universities is used mainly to design new products. Thus, the patterns of cooperation show that ZGC can absorb new knowledge from different sources. However, not all of the high-tech companies in ZGC are able to make use of international linkages in the innovation process, as about half of them do not have the necessary capabilities.
