The Chinese term tongshi has been used to name the reform, which, in very brief terms, means general and interconnected knowledge. In existing studies, tongshi education is regarded as a Chinese localised version of liberal education which has been mainly anchored in American universities.

    B&T29127-Erim Omslag Greeven_24feb09 INNOVATION IN AN UNCERTAIN INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT 164 MARK GREEVEN PRIVATE SOFTWARE ENTREPRENEURS IN HANGZHOU, CHINA The thesis deals with innovation and entrepreneurship in China. Despite an institutional environment characterized by high levels of uncertainty, innovation thrives even in the technology-based sectors. The research asks for explanations how innovative Innovation in an Uncertain capabilities are developed in such an adverse institutional environment. The thesis is MARK GREEVEN - Innovation in an Uncertain Institutional Environment based on a synthesis of capability, institutional and sectoral approaches to innovation and Institutional Environment 2 years of extensive field research in cooperation with 45 Chinese entrepreneurs and Zhejiang University in Hangzhou. One of the key insights is that innovation, in a broad understanding, can take place in an environment with institutional uncertainty and limited Private Software Entrepreneurs in Hangzhou, China formal protection of intellectual property rights. On the one hand, institutional uncertainty creates both restrictions and incentives for innovation, and, on the other hand, firms are able to develop specific innovative capabilities that manage sectoral constraints while fighting off institutional constraints. More specifically, this thesis has four sets of findings. First, the findings show that Hangzhou has a business environment within the one-party state of China that is closely resembling a capitalist business environment and
