Impact of the length of relationships upon the use of research institutes by SMEs

Recent studies of US industrial modernisation programmes argue that difficulties of establishing long-term relationships with users prevent them from facilitating development of innovation capabilities. The paper supports this argument through a survey of Japanese research institutes the US programmes were modelled on. In view of information asymmetries in their use, it tests the hypothesis that small and medium-sized firms start using the research institutes with ‘low information gap’ services and gradually move on to ‘high information gap’ services that often require more absorptive capacity. This is demonstrated both under one-to-one relationships and between groups of firms and a research institute.     

ICTs and Internet adoption in China's tourism industry

The fast development of information communication technologies (ICTs) and the expansion of the Internet have changed industry structures around the world. New technologies have been adopted in the tourism industry in Europe and America for more than 30 years, and the trend is likely to continue into the future. China, as a fast-growing developing country in Asia, is gaining importance in the international tourism market for its historical and cultural attractiveness as a destination. It is also becoming a booming tourism source country as its population starts travelling overseas. This study examines how the ICT and Internet gradually change the tourism industry structure in China; how important such changes are, and to where such changes will lead China's tourism industry. This exploratory research is conducted based on information collected from several tourism organisations, such as airlines, hotels, tour operators, visitor attractions and the tourism authorities within China.

Understanding the emergence and deployment of “nano” S&T

As an introduction to the special issue on “emerging nanotechnologies”, this paper puts in perspective contemporary debates and challenges about nanotechnology. It presents an overview of diverse analyses and expectations about this presumably revolutionary set of technological, scientific and industrial developments. Three main lines of argument can then be delineated: first of all, the degree of cumulativeness of science and technologies and the respective roles of newcomers and incumbents in the industrial dynamics; second the knowledge dynamics in nanotechnologies, especially the linkages by science and technology and third the role of institutions (network, geographic agglomeration and job market). It finally discusses methodologies to delineate the field of nanotechnologies and to collect data.

纵向分离、纵向一体化与纵向联盟——省级电视台电视剧产业链整合模式的原理

本论文就中国省级电视台电视剧产业链整合模式的原理进行解析,主要解析制播分离与自制剧、定制剧模式。本文认为,制播分离实际是纵向分离,会有分工的经济效率;自制剧与定制剧模式就是纵向一体化与纵向联盟,它们针对省级台会有利弊两方面的影响,但结合省级台的现实处境看,目前利远大于弊。     

基于平台理论的区域产业发展平台分析——以苏州工业园区为例

在实现产业结构调整和转变经济发展方式过程中,区域产业发展平台是一项重要工具。借鉴平台理论的思想,分析政府促进区域产业发展的具体模式,认为政府建立的各种产业园区是一个平台主体,提供通用服务吸引各类经济主体入驻,促使它们之间外部性的实现,并对外部性进行内部化;将政府由一个制定政策的外生变量,转变为需要专注核心能力培育和知识创新的内生变量,以实现政府与产业的共同发展;最后通过苏州工业园区进行案例说明。
