The effect of “Human Resources in Science & Technology” and “R&D” on the performance of national innovation system in China

This paper mainly discussed the effect of “Human Resources in Science & Technology” and “R&D activities” on the performance of national innovation system in China. Firstly, we configured an evaluation index system of national innovation performance based on the international index system of innovation capacity such as European innovation scoreboard with the method of experts scoring. Meanwhile, our research is focused on the national innovation performance for eight years from 2000 to 2007 in China and to find out the effect of Human Resources in Science & Technology and R&D on the Performance of national innovation system by using the statistical tools of AHP and regression analysis. Finally, under the context of national innovation system, we analyzed China´s innovation capacity and offered recommendations based on our findings in terms of HRST capacity-building and R&D funding support.
