Since 1980s',technology diffusion theory has been one of the greatest important issues of economic geography.This paper reviews the status quo and developing trends on technology diffusion theory of domestic and international,discusses the achievements and limitations on the research of diffusion scale,impact factor,type,path,model,method and effect,academic schools,establishes a systematic links between the above all and constructs the basic theory framework and the core contents of technology diffusion research.At the end,the paper points out a new development trend that the phenomenon of technology authority has been regarded by the academia in recent years,and technology authority even affect much more on the generation,the operating mechanism and the innovation upgrade in micro-scale.
