II II Abstract Economy globalization provides the opportunity of entering global economic cooperation system for developing countries. However, developing countries are largely integrated in global value chains from the low roads, which are the low value added activities of global value chains. The way of entering global value chains benefit the process upgrading and product upgrading of the firms of developing countries, but the function upgrading won’t happen under the barriers set by global leading firms. Through understanding characteristics of domestic market and innovation, many domestic firms of china have established their own value chains governed by themselves and become the leading companies in their sectors. The leading firms can improve producing process, introduce into advanced product and technologies and accumulate international operating experience through inserting into global value chains. At the same time, domestic value chains governed by themselves can help the leading firms foster RD ability, build their owe brands and achieve the function upgrading. So, the leading firms of china could thoroughly integrated the advantages of the global value chains and the domestic value chains governed by themselves to achieve innovative ability upgrading, break through the barriers set by the governors of the global value chains and become the global leading firms eventually. The paper set up an upgrading model of a leading firm of china based on global value chain. According to this model we identify four stages that have different characteristics: the stage of inserting into global value chains, the stage of upgrading based global value chains, the stage of upgrading based on domestic value chains governed by itself and the stage of establishing global value chain governed by itself. The paper selected the phylogeny of Lenovo as the demonstration part. Lenovo experienced the four stages of the upgrading model of a leading firm of china based on global val
