His pioneering research has explored areas such as technology innovation management, global manufacturing and innovation, inclusive innovation, and business model innovation. In the early 1990s, based on the practical experiences of Chinese manufacturing companies rapidly catching up, he introduced the theory of "Secondary Innovation Management," which provided effective pathways and strategies for a successful "catch-up" for many "latecomer enterprises." In recent years, he has proposed the "C Theory" based on innovation management practices of leading Chinese companies, focusing on research in innovation and strategic management with the goal of moving from "catching up to surpassing the catch-up." His monographs, "Global Manufacturing and Second Innovation: Winning the Advantage of Latecomers" and "The Management Transformation of Huawei" (co-authored), have received outstanding achievement awards from Zhejiang Province and the Ministry of Education.
