Professor Dan Breznitz of the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, pointed out that it is wrong to equate innovation with novel-product innovation. As an emerging economy, China has in fact been excelling in a wide array of secondary innovative activities, such as developing and improving existing products to suit the requirements of different markets, and organizational and process innovation. In these aspects, China remains a forerunner of the world.
