- Which aspects of the processes of an indigenous (South) innovation, particularly of the “high-tech” and “radical” kind, have spurred the technological catch- up? Using the example of the third-generation Chinese mobile communications technology standard, we probed the key dimensions of the development. Three hypotheses were generated from this study: a) modularity-in-design opens new windows of opportunity for technological catching up; b) the lack of essential intellectual property rights acts as a key inducement, or a factor-saving bias, that influences the rate and direction of indigenous innovation in the global South (e.g. China); and c) the long tail of an old technology conditions a new indigenous innovation to take off by essentially shortening the technological distance.
