The development of science popularization industry in China has been elevated to a strategic height. It plays an irreplaceable role in the improvement of national scientific literacy and the construction of innovation-oriented country. However, the current Chinese science popularization industry is still “scattered, small, slow and weak” and has a great gap compared with that of developed countries...
The time in use of automation and control systems is typically much longer than technology development cycles. This is especially true with respect to the ongoing integration of IT technologies. In order to ensure the usage of automation systems during their planned time in use, the evolution of such systems need to be considered. This demands for generic models for handling life-cycle related information,...
In the context of our strong proponent of economic restructuring, the traditional goal of financial management is difficult to play well as a guiding role to promote the development of enterprises. To adapt to the era demand and corporate development need, it is of important practical significance to put forward new financial management objective. In this paper, the corporate comprehensive value maximization...
The application of new knowledge and the development of new technologies have become the keys for high-tech enterprises to participate successfully in market competition in the new economic era. Taking human capital of research and development as the studying object, this thesis explored the allocation of R&D human capital and its economic effects on the high-tech industries mainly through...
In an era of economic crisis and serious environmental constraints, the transition to sustainability enters dynamically the debate over long-term preservation and welfare at a systemic level. Tourism is a resource- (capital, human and natural) demanding sector; this paper explores the variety and diversity of methodological approaches and tools employed in the evaluation of tourism, and their potential...
Recently, manufacturing has started adopting more service-oriented strategies. However, actual impacts of this shift from only product to mix of products and services on manufacturing have never been explored. This study aims to understand how this shift impacts on manufacturing over time. We develop a theoretical framework to associate factors that impact on service-orientation in manufacturing in...
This paper analyzes the current development of human capital and industrial structure of Changzhou, respectively from three aspects: the employment structure and industrial structure of the misalignment, industry human capital density, the stock of human capital and industrial structure correlation, analyzes the interactive relationship between Changzhou city's human capital and the industrial structure,...
The objective of this paper is to show the extent to which a fragmented industry may be transformed into a sustainable one. The philosophy assumed is that businesses which follow good corporate governance principles and act in transparency by disclosing all relevant information to stakeholders are highly likely to be sustainable. A sustainable business purposively designs and /or develops its business...
We provide a novel technology development model in which economic agents search for transformations to build artifacts. Using this technology development model, we conduct an agent-based model simulation study on the effect of (supra-)regional collaboration in production and innovation on technological progress, for different industry knowledge structures. We find that supraregional collaboration...
Sustainability consideration is very important in decision making related to furniture industry due to its raw material derived fromforestst. Forest has important role for people because it gives benefit in economic, social, and environmental aspects. This paper focuses on developing a simulation model for the furniture industry, especially in supplier-manufacturer relationship model for securing...
This paper has derived from empirical generation methodologies of indexes which are mainly focus on sustainability or environmental performance and provided critical mapping for these indexes originally. By categorizing indexes from several dimensions, we suggested an analyzing approach as innovator for new researchers to find new research questions and gaps. This approach is along determinants which...
Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) is a plant native to Central America and is a source of oil and other by-products with commercial potential and economic value. Recent studies have shown that the oil from Jatropha seeds can be used for the production of biodiesel that meets the EN and ASTM biodiesel specification standards. Biofuel produced from Jatropha curcas can be used in a variety of ways to meet Sudan's...
Since the introduction of marine economy strategy, the interaction and economic correlation between marine economy and land industry are rising increasingly. The paper analyzes the functions performed by marine industry on industrial structure system and the spatial restraints of correlation between marine industry and land industry. On the basis of it, the empirical analysis on marine and land industrial...
Under the pressure of global financial crisis and the tend of domestic industry transformation and upgrade, it is imperative for the Pearl River Delta as the birthplace of China's processing trade to transform urgently for catching up with a competitive advantage. On the other hand, the academic research on transformation and upgrade of processing trade enterprises is drawing more and more people's...
Based on the literature review, the technology spillover mechanism can be concluded to four categories: demonstration-imitation effect, competition effect, correlation effect and training-flow effect. The technology spillover is always hysteretic. On the basis of multi-period lagged effect of multinational corporations' technology spillover, the paper used panel data and regression method, analyzed...
Talent aggregation in a particular region — as a result of talent flow — plays a significant role in promoting regional advantages. For developing countries, it is a gradual process to bring the regional advantage of late-development (RAL) into full play through enhancing regional talent competitiveness (RTC). Based on a case study of Dalian High-tech Zone, China, this study elaborates upon the coevolution...
We analyze the role of technology transfer in enhancing the technical efficiency of China's high-tech industry using stochastic frontier production function model. The results show that the introduction of foreign technology and foreign direct investment significantly promote the technical efficiency of high-tech industry, but the acquisition of domestic technology has no significant impact on the...
With the rapid development of China's outward direct investment, the studies about motivation mechanism of China's ODI are increasing. There are three main parts in the motivation mechanism of China's ODI. First, the motivations of China's MNEs to invest abroad are to seek natural resources, to seek new markets and to seek strategic assets. Second, the ownership advantages of Chinese enterprises are...
Creativity and innovation, fundamental elements upon which Kenya's economy is expected to grow, are embedded in Kenya Vision 2030, the country's blue print for economic growth and industrialisation. Though expected to play a role in this process, the production oriented informal sector employs a large number of semiskilled artisans that have little formal education. Calls for empowering and capacitating...
