Abstract:Strengthening the basic research of enterprises has become an important issue in building an innovative country in China. Based on the in-depth interviews of typical innovative enterprises, this paper uses grounded theory to extract the main categories of national policy support and industrial environment promotion, constructs the behavior model of enterprise basic research, and makes a theoretical interpretation by applying the two-factor theory. The results show that: enterprise finance and R D foundation are hygiene factors; industrial environment, technological environment, first-class enterprise vision and corporate social responsibility are motivation factors; national policy support is both hygiene factor and motivation factor. Then, using the analysis paradigm of "external cause-internal cause-behavior", this paper puts forward the dual paths to influence enterprise basic research: national policy support influencing internal hygiene factors; and national policy support, industrial environment as well as technological environment influencing internal motivation factors. Finally, we put forward the corresponding policy suggestions.
