This paper measures and analyzes the institutional influence on the development of China's high-tech industry from 1995 to 2016. The following discoveries are shown. The institutional environment on which China's high-tech industry depends has shown an increasing trend in recent years, but its momentum is obviously weaker than that in the early stage. The calculation results are the same and comprehensive whether the institutional variable is substituted directly into the production function as the explanatory variable or if it is put into the capital stock, labor force and Total factor productivity regression equations. The institutional influences on the input-output of the high-tech industry are very clear and positive, and its influence on the TFP is the greatest. Therefore, the continuous improvement of the institutional environment of high-tech industries is conducive to promoting the high-quality development of the industry.

My technical project and STS research paper are both working on the development of Internet industries to help make a better world. My technical work involves the integration of an innovative online testing system, which mainly includes test subsystem and question bank subsystem to help solve the problem of inconsistent examination system during the current epidemic. My STS research compares and analyzes the development of China and the United States on the Internet industries and their future trends in different aspects. Combining these two projects, my work shows the booming development of the Internet and the convenience and prosperity it brings to society. On the technical side, my technical research focuses on building an online exam platform using the Django framework as well as bootstrap, Heroku where students can answer and practice study questions while professors will have access to grade the exam. Since we have moved all our classes online, it is necessary to rebuild the exam mode from in-class to a suitable online form. My team and I worked together to successfully launch the platform and run the beta test. Compared with the traditional paper test, the online test system designed in this paper eliminates the effect of human factors to the greatest extent and ensures the objectivity, real-time nature of the test, and the consistency of the marking standards. Using the online examination system, we can complete the ability assessment of candidates with high efficiency and high quality. One person, one paper is the biggest feature of the online test system. The test papers between adjacent test takers are not the same. Because test papers are produced in real time according to the test paper strategy, it is difficult for test takers to transfer information to each other, thus avoiding joint cooperation. Hopefully, my technical work will aid the CS department in improving the overall performance of online exams in the future. During my STS research, I compared the development of China and the United States in the Internet industry from five aspects and analyzed their respective strengths and weaknesses. I found that considering the industrial advantages, the United States relies on governance and technological advantages, while China relies on market size. Although the Internet industries of China and the United States are both thriving, the competitive advantages of the two countries are quite different. The core advantage of the US Internet is the control of key resources and cutting-edge technologies in the global network, while China relies on its huge population size and market potential. Then I considered the market position comparison: the United States is an oligopoly, and China is a market challenger. Also, The United States focuses on bottom-level innovation and intensive development, while China focuses on application innovation and scale expansion on industrial scale expansion. At last, I compare the entrepreneurial ecology between China and the United States. This research not only emphasizes the importance of national competition in science and technology, but also expresses the convenience and prosperity that the development of the Internet brings to society. During the completion of my STS research paper, I came to understand the importance of cooperation as a society. There will be development if there is competition. Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. The most ideal situation for humankind and our society is for both countries to work together to learn from each other's strengths and jointly promote the development of the world Internet. Engineers should continue to innovate and have the desire to contribute to the development of society. The technical work I did make me recognize how important the online examination system is to the fairness of the examination. This aligned with my research paper, as I found that Internet innovation not only exists in large enterprises and cutting-edge laboratories but more generally in our schools and our society. Any engineer can have the ability to change the world through a random idea. All in all, I would like to extend thanks to Professor Richard Jacques and Professor Haifeng Xu as my technical advisor. They both provided me with incredible support and help.

In the recent years, fintech industry of the fourth industrial revolution has grown multifold, which raised the concerns of scholars over the excessive usage of electricity. This paper places contribution to the existing literature by analyzing the impact of fintech industry on environmental efficiency across selected EU countries. We also utilized indicators like high-tech industry and e-commerce along with fintech industry to better understand the relationship between fourth industrial revolution and environmental efficiency. This study used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate environmental efficiency using two different techniques i.e., Slack-Base Measure (SBM) and Epsilon-Based Measure (EBM). Method of Moments Quantile (MMQ) regression is employed as a basic regression technique, while instrumental variables Generalized method of Moments (IV-GMM) is used for robust analysis. The results show that, the overall environmental efficiency of EU countries have improved over the years. As the indicators of the fourth industrial revolution, fintech industry and e-commerce exert a positive effect and improve environmental efficiency; however, high-tech industry reduces environmental efficiency. The results further show that, economic growth and green finance investment promote environmental efficiency, while industrialization and R&D deteriorates it. The results can be of special interest for the policy makers of technological world.

High-tech industrial agglomeration plays a significant role in regional sustainable development. Local governments have issued many industrial policies to accelerate the development of high-tech industries in China. Evaluating high-tech industry policies from the perspective of regional industrial synergy can prevent problems in policy implementation and promote the industrial synergy in a region. For this purpose, taking China’s Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region as a case, we evaluate seven policies governing the high-tech industry in this region by using the approach which integrates the policy modeling consistency index (PMC-Index) model and text mining. We propose an evaluation system with consideration of regional industrial synergy, which is based on the PMC-Index model. The results show that the lowest PMC-Index value of the seven policies is 5.30, the highest is 8.17, and the average is 6.67. Among the policies, four are of excellent or perfect grade and relatively comprehensive; three are of acceptable grade and relatively insufficient. The overall designs of the high-tech industrial policies are reasonable but there is still much room for improvement. According to the average scores of the main indicators, the policies function relatively poorly in terms of policy release agency, policy timeliness, policy type and policy receptor. The optimizations for the shortcomings of each policy are also suggested. This study may not only provide some enlightenment to policymakers, but also provide a supplement for the policy evaluation field.

Both the diversification process and the introduction of new technologies require highly qualified engineering and managerial personnel. The integration of science, education and industry has become the basic goal of training future engineers for military and civilian enterprises. The interaction of these three spheres will make it possible to form personnel potential, which in the long run could become the key to the country's technological sovereignty.

The paper covers analysis of high-tech industry development in Latvia, as well as its facilitating and restricting factors. High-tech industries become more important in Latvia both in terms of export share and generated value added; also the number of enterprises and employees is increasing. A stable political system, enabling business environment, a relatively low corporate income tax rate, and government aid are considered as some of the most important facilitating factors. The paper emphasizes the government’s role in promoting and developing the high-tech manufacturing. The most significant limitations are the lack of skilled specialists and sophisticated real estate space, and the remote industrial supply companies and the service centres. Recommendations are given on the possible development directions, including improvements in manufacturing infrastructure, enhancements of the skill level of the labour force, and bringing up a new generation of entrepreneurs.

The article highlights the results of a systematic analysis of the US, EU and Russia approaches to managing global supply chains of rare-earth and rare metals for high-tech sectors of national economies as a factor of spatial distribution of the international cooperation effects. The applied research method is a qualitative system approach. It is shown that for the US the management of global supply chains of strategic metals and materials is in the focus of attention due to the fact that they are included in the downstream processes of the production of American military-industrial products and high-tech consumer goods, thereby predetermining the preservation of the status quo of the national security as a fundamental and existential factor. For the European Union, the regulation of supply chains of strategic metals for the purpose of producing downstream products is carried out primarily in connection with the increase of energy efficiency of the economy, growth of productivity and resource saving, the spread of «green» technologies. For Russia, there is practically no problem of supplying rare-earth and rare metals from its own sources in the form of low-grade products (carbonates), but the absence of critical mass of production at the middle-downstream levels does not allow balancing the growing supply (10 thousand tons per year) and stabilizing demand for raw materials (up to 2 thousand tons) from the national economy. A set of targeted measures and instruments of institutional and economic policy aimed at accelerating the formation of a high-tech layer of the economy is proposed with a view to expanding the areas and volumes of domestic consumption of metals in the face of financial, economic and technological constraints, primarily by the United States and the European Union. The principles of economic, scientific and technical policy laid down in the foundation of dynamic development with the use of rare-earth and rare metals of the high-tech civil and military industry of the USA and the European Union are applicable and adapt only partially for the Russian conditions, which is connected with different goals of managing global supply chains of raw materials

Based on the panel data of 11 regions in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 1998 to 2016, we tested and analyzed the effects of high-tech industrial expansion on green development. For these regions in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we wanted to investigate the potential linear relationship between the scale of high-tech industry and green development or the possible threshold effect. We wanted to determine if this relationship is different in various regions of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. According to the empirical test, we found that: (1) for the entire Yangtze River Economic Belt region, the influence of high-tech industrial scale on green development doubled the threshold effect, and a marginal efficiency diminishing effect existed with the further increase in scale, (2) due to the differences among the regions, the threshold effect was different in different regions, with a double threshold effect in the lower reaches, a single threshold effect in the middle reaches, and no threshold effect in the upper reaches, and (3) regarding the high-tech industrial scale, the downstream areas were too large to weaken its promoting effect on green development. In the middle reaches, the positive impact on green development was still increasing, and the high-tech industrial scale should be further expanded. However, in the upstream areas, high-tech industrial scales did not reach the threshold value and the relationship between the high-tech industrial scale and green development was linear. Therefore, local high-tech industries should be cultivated and developed.

OBJECTIVES: In light of the increasing number of high-tech industry workers and the differences in their working conditions compared to those of the general population, the health status of these workers merits serious attention. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its correlates among Taiwanese high-tech industry workers. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 4,666 workers who participated in labor health examinations at a hospital in southern Taiwan in 2008. Participants with metabolic syndrome were defined using the criteria proposed by the Taiwan National Department of Health in 2007. Factors associated with metabolic syndrome were determined using multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 8.2%, and the prevalence was higher in men than in women (14.0% vs. 2.3%, p

R&D and innovation is the source of technology companies' profit. If companies cannot be smoothly implemented technological innovation and R&D investments, then they can not strengthen their competitiveness. In the light of dynamic capabilities and absorptive capacities, we need an effective multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) analysis tools to assess the impact of organizational innovation and performance factors so that we can promote organizational innovation performance requires. This study used multiple criteria decision analysis method- DEMATEL, how influence as innovation performance on knowledge management capabilities of high-tech industry. Result of this study, enterprises can access external knowledge and make amendments to the operating principle effectively and immediately, when enhanced absorptive capabilities. Moreover, enhancing absorption capabilities will lead the improvement of dynamic capabilities to adapt to the rapidly changing competitive environment.

The dynamic economic development of Guangdong Province is one of the most prominent examples of China's catch-up in the course of the past two decades. Once chosen as the nation's first experimental field for the market economy, the province continued to participate above average in national economic growth ever since. At present, it still maintains a leading position with regard to general industrial performance and average personal income. However, as China's industry begins to embark on a path to technological upgrading, this pre-eminent position begins to be challenged. In the nation's emerging fields of strength, the province's rivals, Beijing and Shanghai, are in a better starting position because they are better endowed with both R&D capacities and qualified human capital. In this context, our paper illustrates the resulting challenges through a number of specialized indicators and explains why, despite a continuously impressive export performance in the high-tech sectors, Guangdong is far from being well prepared to maintain its current position. Finally, it briefly describes the policy responses that have been developed, concluding that despite a clear evidence of progress some key issues with regard to regional innovation policy appear to remain unaddressed.

As a basic concept, landscape is an old and widely used notion in geography, but in very different ways. Genesis, decline and reconversion of the industrial landscapes born during first and second Industrial Revolution are well-known, but landscapes of the new industries, especially high-tech industries, come down too often to well-known landscapes of high-tech business zones, such as Silicon Valley. Does it exist an specific landscape for innovation and high-tech industry ? Is there any other landscapes linked to innovation and high-tech industry ? Do we find innovation and high-tech industry only in high-tech business zones ? This work will try to answer to theses questions with the example of the city of Nancy and its suburbs, North-Eastern France. Nancy presents the interest to have known the first waves of industrialisation during the two last centuries, and today, to be large enough to have high level services and many facilities to attract high-tech industries., Largement utilisé depuis très longtemps et de façon extrêmement diverse, le paysage est un des fondamentaux de la géographie. Si les paysages industriels classiques issus des premières révolutions industrielles sont bien connus et largement étudiés, tant dans leur genèse que dans leur évolution récente marquée par le déclin et la reconversion, les plus récents, et notamment ceux liés à la haute technologie se résument souvent à l’image classique du technopôle, dont les composantes essentielles sont bien connues. Mais l’innovation et la haute technologie industrielles ne produisent-elles pas d’autres paysages ? Sont-ils tous aussi visibles que la vitrine qu’est le technopôle ? N’existe-t-il pas des paysages hérités d’innovations anciennes aujourd’hui largement diffusées ? N’y a-t-il pas des liens entre ces paysages hérités et les innovations industrielles actuelles ? Pour tenter de répondre à ces questions, ce travail utilise l’exemple de l’agglomération de Nancy, présentant le double avantage d’avoir largement participé aux cycles industriels anciens et de posséder les services de haut niveau nécessaires au développement d’activités de haute technologie., Edelblutte Simon. Existe-t-il un paysage de l'innovation et de la haute technologie industrielles ? Réflexion à partir de l'exemple de l'agglomération nancéienne. In: Cahiers Nantais, n°62-63, 2004. Innovation, industrie et recherche. pp. 15-26.

Do the social and cultural environments have any impact on regional development, expressed in terms of e.g. entrepreneurship, innovations and growth of new industries? A rapidly increasing field of research has found many indications on that such an impact of the civil society exists. In the literature, two partly contradicting hypotheses can be discerned: 1. Florida’s hypothesis, saying that a heterogeneous civil society with diverse values combined with tolerance is influencing regional growth in a positive way, and 2. Putnam’s hypothesis, saying that a homogenous civil society with common norms and values and trust between its citizens is having a positive impact on regional development.This paper studies the validity of these two hypotheses on the current regional development in Japan,measured in four alternative ways: population growth, the high-tech sector’s and high-tech services’ regional distribution, and the net growth of enterprises. As determining variables, we use data from the Japanese General Social Surveys’ International Comparative Survey on Values and Behavioral Patterns, Non-Profit Organizations per capita and share of the population being born abroad, plus control variables in the form of market accessibility and human capital. On detailed regional level (46 prefectures) the analysis does not give any significant support to any of the civil society hypotheses. However, on large-region level (8 regions) the civil society measure gives a significant result for high-tech industry and services.

This book examines the issue of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in the context of technological development, and in particular the impact of M&As on the innovation process. In so doing, the book integrates two bodies of literature, on M&As, and on innovation studies, a nexus which the editors contend represents an important step in the advancement of our understanding of both with clear implications for competitive advantage and growth of firms. Drawing on perspectives from both management and economics, the book offers a cohesive blend of theory, methodology, and a wealth of empirical material.

Based on the operation of ten High-Tech enterprises with the introduction of Knowledge Management system in 2008-2010, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Malmquist Productivity Analysis were applied to measuring the efficiency values of Total Efficiency (TE), Pure Technical Efficiency (PTE), and Scale Efficiency (SE) for the reference of further improvement in operational efficiency. In terms of overall efficiency, the empirical results showed the average efficiency in the three years being 0.87. Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) performed the best (0.98), followed by AU Optronics (AUO) (0.95) and D-Link (0.94), and Getac the worst (0.76) in 2008; TSM appeared the best (1.00) and Getac and SMC the worst (0.74) in 2009; and TSM presented the best (1.00), followed by AUO (0.96), and SMC the worst (0.77) in 2010. According to the above results, TSM showed the best performance in the three years, while Getac and SMC the worst. With Malmquist Productivity Analysis, TSM, D-Link, and AUO were approaching permanent Knowledge Management, while the rest High-Tech enterprises were required to introduce Knowledge Management System to get in permanent Knowledge Management.
