Abstract:This paper introduces two different types of technological innovation, autonomous innovation and imitative innovation, on the basis of an empirical analysis of the impact of servitization of advanced manufacturing on global value chain (GVC) upgrading in advanced manufacturing in China from 2000 to 2018, in order to test the differences in the existence of their effects in the above-mentioned impact. The study found: advanced manufacturing value-chain of GVC upgrade has a significant role in promoting. At the same time, advanced manufacturing value-chain and imitation innovation is to promote and suppress the "inverted U" relationship; Advanced manufacturing and independent innovation of service is after the first, to promote "U" relationship; In addition, there is a moderating effect of intellectual capital investment in the servitization of advanced manufacturing industry, imitation innovation and independent innovation, which has a facilitating effect on independent innovation, but has a negative effect on imitation innovation. However, it has a negative effect on imitation innovation.
