January 3 News (Li Ming) innovation is a core element of the long-term development of an enterprise, for ICT enterprises, innovation is the first priority to settle down
Founded in 1876, Ericsson is a century-old store in the mobile communications market, a century of industry evergreen, so that it has its own unique understanding of innovation
In response, Ericsson's China president, Zhao Juntao, said in an exclusive interview with C114 that innovation is Ericsson's gene and that Ericsson cannot survive for more than 140 years without an innovative gene
Three postures embrace innovation so, what kind of posture is used to embrace innovation? Zhao Juntao believes that innovation should be carried out mainly from the following three aspects: "First of all, corporate culture and values are particularly important
Corporate culture should have the soil of innovation, to allow new ideas, new experiments and even new failures to exist
At this point, Ericsson's corporate culture has played a big role, so it has been able to stay in the leading position in the field of communications. ”
"Second, in addition to the innovative soil, but also to have the strength of innovation and data support." From the second generation of mobile communications 1999 to the present, Ericsson has more than 50,000 technical contributions, 15,000 more than the technology contribution of any of the closest competitors
This means that Ericsson's innovation is soil, strong, and data-supported. ”
"In addition, innovation is not a family thing, but the need to work together with partners to win
Over the years, Ericsson has had different forms of stimulating the innovation of the entire ecosystem and society as a whole, such as Ericsson's ongoing global student Innovation competition, in which many college students participate in this innovative competition as a way to reward and inspire the younger generation to innovate good ideas
Industry, 5G whether it is technological innovation or profit model innovation, there are still many unknown parts need to be explored, we need to work with partners and industry colleagues to carry out this exploration. ”
Market competition and innovation in the 5G era will be further upgraded predictably, the 5G era of equipment manufacturers market competition will be more intense, innovation competition will be further upgraded
"Ericsson is still one of the companies with the strongest technical contributions in the 5G era. ”
Zhao Juntao said, "in the 5G era, all manufacturers and operators are submitting technical contributions to 3GPP, Ericsson in the two most important working groups-wireless Professional group RAN1 and RAN2 's proposal accounted for 16%, which shows that Ericsson has a strong leadership position on 5G." ”
In the Chinese market, Ericsson and operators continue to work closely together, actively participate in 5G related technology R & amp; d testing, work with operators to create a 5G joint Innovation Center, continue to strengthen R & amp; d capabilities in China, and strengthen joint innovation with partners in different vertical industries
"The 5G era Ericsson still has a strong leadership position in the mobile communications industry, and we are confident of future development. "Zhao Juntao said
