ABSTRACT

The 21st century is an era of great change. In the face of changes in the pattern of economic globalization and pressures from all sides for sustainable development, China has realized the important role of technological innovation in promoting the transformation of social structure and the transformation of economic growth patterns. Therefore, how innovation diffusion works and promotes sustainable development has become an research hot spot. The paper discusses the isomorphism of technological change and innovation diffusion on the basis of comprehensively sorting out the theoretical viewpoints of the existing research. Results show that the process of innovation diffusion is equivalent to the process of technological change, technological change is accompanied by innovation diffusion, and innovation diffusion promotes the development of technological change. 

KEYWORDS
