Investigation Into the Market-Orientated New Product Development Performance

The effect that the market orientation brings to product innovation performance is reported and the degree of product innovativeness is explored. The interdepartmental integration inside the company is also investigated. A series of hypotheses were developed aiming at presenting a conceptual framework to clarify how market orientation contributes to product innovation performance-moderated by the degree of product innovativeness and affected by the interdepartmental integration. Survey data from 36 business units were analyzed based on the respondents in the research. The statistic results suggest a substantial positive effect of market orientation on product innovation performance. Under the condition of incremental innovativeness among the samples, the more innovative the product is, the more improvements in product innovation performance would be achieved. A variety of particular interdepartmental integration mechanisms have been certified to lend more supports to establishing market orientation and improving product innovation performance.

Exploring Barriers and Opportunities in Adopting Crowdsourcing Based New Product Development in Manufacturing SMEs

Crowdsourcing is an innovative business practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content or even funds by soliciting contributions from a large group of people （the ＇Crowd＇）. The potential benefits of utilizing crowdsourcing in product design are well-documented, but little research exists on what are the barriers and opportunities in adopting crowdsourcing in new product development （NPD） of manufacturing SMEs. In order to answer the above questions, a Proof of Market study is carried out on crowdsourcing-based product design under an Innovate UK funded Smart project, which aims at identifying the needs, challenges and future development opportunities associated with adopting crowdsourcing strategies for NPD. The research findings from this study are reported here and can be used to guide future development of crowdsourcing-based collaborative design methods and tools and provide some practical references for industry to adopt this new and emerging collaborative design method in their business.

Selection Model of Optional Parts in Suppliers Involved in New Product Development

Quality function deployment (QFD),which can translate efficiently customer requirement (CRs) into technical attributes (TAs),is widely used in new product development (NPD) as an efficient customer-driven approach. After lots of QFD application is applied in manufacturing fields,it was proved that without considering suppliers involved,it is difficult to get precise and satisfying results in each process of QFD,particularly part deployment. The paper will address the issues of a model of optional parts selection in suppliers involved in part deployment process. Further,it has been applied to an ERP system reconstruction and updating problem as an illustration.

A Study on the Activities During the Fuzzy Front End in New Product Development Projects of Korean ICT Firms

Although previous studies on Korean manufacturing firms have empirically analyzed the causal relationship between activities during the FFE(Fuzzy Front End)and success of NPD(New Product Development)of Korean manufacturing firms,no study has concretely focused on Korean ICT(Information and Communications Technology)firms and their FFE activities.The main aim of this study is to identify the activities of these firms during their FFE and provide managerial insights into the other ICT firms.The authors conducted a survey(106 valid responses)that their FFE activities on new product development project managers in Korean ICT firms.The results showed that even though new product development managers of Korean ICT firms did not search for ideas systemically,they communicated with those departments/divisions that had frequent interaction with customers for idea assessment,with the active involvement of middle-or higher-level managers.They thoroughly established initial plans in the pre-development stages and seriously analyzed competitors’products and direct and indirect customer interactions in their market survey activities.

Effective decision-making model for hi-tech new product development

In order to identify the effective decision-making factors at the individual NPD project manager level, a new effective decision-making model has been established by introducing the concept of decision-making effectiveness, analyzing the role of expertise, and identifying the major role of expertise and insight with respect to the interfaces between a new product, an organization, customers, technologies and regulations, for the study of the effective decision-making facilitators and inhibitors for a NPD project. The analysis of the unique task conditions for individual decision-makers shows that perceived complexity, uncertainty and time pressure have their negative effect on the effective decision-making process. It is concluded that the flexible, balanced and appropriate use of rational analysis, common sense and intuition is a key effective decision-making factor, and the psychologically ‘active attitude’ of a manager is also an important factor for successful dealing with the difficult task conditions.

新质生产力系统:要素特质、结构承载与功能取向

每次人类社会大变局都蕴含着生产力的巨大革新,世界百年未有之大变局加速演进内在要求孕育形成新质生产力。新质生产力作为生产力发展的质变跃迁,是推动实现高质量发展的动力之源。从系统论视角来看,新质生产力是由相互联系、相互作用的生产力要素、生产力结构、生产力功能构成的“要素—结构—功能”系统。其中,新质生产力要素由新型劳动者、新型劳动对象、新型劳动工具、新型基础设施等构成,新质生产力在结构承载上表现为由新兴产业、未来产业等主导发展形成的现代化产业体系,新质生产力功能则凸显新发展理念、追求实现高质量发展、更好满足人民美好生活需要的价值取向。加快发展新质生产力,应扩大新型要素供给、以科技创新引领现代化产业体系建设、强化新质生产力系统功能取向,通过继续深化改革塑造与新质生产力发展相适应的生产关系。

新发展理念助力新质生产力加快形成:理论逻辑与实现路径

“新质生产力”的提出作为马克思主义中国化的新发展具有重要理论意义和现实意义。新质生产力的提出绝不是对马克思主义历史唯物论生产力概念的否定,而是新时代对生产力概念守正创新的重要发展。在加快形成新质生产力的过程中要坚定不移贯彻新发展理念,将创新理念作为加快形成新质生产力的第一动力,将协调发展理念作为加快形成新质生产力的内在要求,将绿色发展理念作为加快形成新质生产力的重要方向,将开放发展理念作为加快形成新质生产力的有效途径,将共享发展理念作为加快形成新质生产力的本质要求。新时代应坚定地以新发展理念推动新质生产力加快形成,为我国经济高质量发展赋予新动能。

新质生产力驱动高质量发展的逻辑与路径

作为生产力演进过程中的一种新型质态,新质生产力是“创新驱动”与“质量牵引”以及二者协同演化的生产力发展新模式,其基本内涵集中体现为应用新技术、重塑新动能、培育新产业。新质生产力代表着先进生产力的跃迁方向,符合新发展阶段经济高质量发展的内在要求,是推动经济高质量发展的新动力。新质生产力中新技术应用通过技术扩散、结构优化和“创造性破坏”效应,筑牢经济高质量发展的创新底座;新要素培育通过比较优势迭代和价值倍增能级提升,激活经济高质量发展的要素动能;新产业兴起通过技术吸纳、产业链溢出和竞争优势重塑机制,打造经济高质量发展的支撑主体。因此,未来遵循生产力发展的客观规律,需要从强化关键核心技术攻坚突破抓住发展机遇、加速新型数据要素融合渗透转换发展动能、培育战略性新兴产业和未来产业夯实发展基础、优化完善基础设施建设打通发展“动脉”四个维度加快培育和形成新质生产力,为新时期新征程上驱动经济高质量发展提供有力支撑。

新质生产力的科学内涵、构成要素和制度保障机制

科学把握新质生产力的内涵需要回到其形成和发展的社会历史背景中。本文遵循历史唯物主义的分析逻辑,从技术形态、发展阶段和人类社会生产力演进三个层面,探寻新质生产力的丰富内涵;通过对劳动过程的剖析解构新质生产力的构成要素,并分析其对社会再生产过程的影响;最后考察经济制度对新质生产力形成的重要作用。我们认为,新质生产力是新一轮产业技术革命及其战略性新兴产业集群形成的生产力,是新时代实现高质量发展必需的一类生产力,要融合提升传统生产力,展现新时代新活力。新质生产力的形成将对新时代社会生产组织方式和社会再生产过程产生重要影响。为形成新质生产力培育动力不仅要坚持创新驱动发展,还要依靠全面深化改革激发内生活力。中国共产党的领导是我国形成新质生产力的独有优势和根本保障。

新质生产力的内涵特征、内在逻辑和实现途径——推进中国式现代化的新动能

新质生产力是生产力在信息化、智能化社会中,随着科技创新的提质增速和高端产业的勃兴融合呈现的高级形态,主要包含“高素质”劳动者、“新介质”劳动资料和“新料质”劳动对象三大要素。生产力的发展是实现中国式现代化的根本前提,作为先进的生产力,新质生产力同中国式现代化全体人民共同富裕的目标指向、协调发展的根本要求、和平发展的实现路径具有高度适配性,是推进中国式现代化的新动能。为使新质生产力真正增益于中国式现代化,要以新质生产力服务高质量发展,为中国式现代化奠定坚实的物质基础;要推进原始创新、集成创新、开放创新,以科技创新涵养新质生产力;要壮大战略性新兴产业、积极培育未来产业,推动新质生产力茁壮成长;要塑造劳动者的科学思维、增强劳动者的创新能力、培育劳动者的协作精神,确保新质生产力竞相迸发与充分涌流。

新质生产力的时代内涵、战略价值与实现路径

加快形成新质生产力,是新时代背景下中国经济社会发展从传统要素驱动向创新驱动转型,提升生产效率和质量,促进经济增长持续健康发展,把握新工业革命浪潮,构筑新竞争优势、赢得发展主动权的题中应有之义。本文明确新质生产力的概念及内涵,揭示其理论逻辑、战略价值和实现路径。结合新质生产力的提出背景与相关论述,文章认为新质生产力必须具有“科技创新驱动”“产业高效低耗和环境可持续”“高品质生活和社会服务均等化”“数字赋能”和“国家治理能力现代化”等特征。解构改革开放以来中国新质生产力发展所积累的物质技术基础和政策环境保障,对比分析中国与全球主要国家数字经济发展水平与高科技产品的出口现状,以客观把握中国新质生产力的发展优势与不足。分析在内部面临产业升级滞后与创新能力不足、资源与环境约束、区域城乡发展不平衡、人口结构老龄化与劳动力成本上升、政府治理效率还需提升等“中等收入陷阱”的挑战,外部遭受贸易争端、技术封锁、人权和意识形态威胁、国家领土争端等“修昔底德陷阱”的压力下,新质生产力破解经济高质量发展难题的战略指导意义。进一步地,指出新质生产力的提升是实现国家安全的重要基础,为国家提供了强大的安全保障,有助于构建坚固的国家安全体系。在此基础上,国家安全稳定也是发展新质生产力的必要条件,两者相得益彰。最后,提出为发展新质生产力,尤其注重新质生产力的均衡布局;从内部加强自我建设,释放新质生产力的发展潜能,破除“中等收入陷阱”魔咒;打造安全稳定的外部环境,给新质生产力的发展提供基础保障,破除“修昔底德陷阱”魔咒,支撑构建强劲有力的“双循环”新发展格局。

大国竞争背景下新质生产力形成的理论逻辑与实现路径

新质生产力是习近平总书记基于大国竞争背景下我国发展阶段、发展环境、发展条件变化,作出的具有根本性、全局性、长远性的重大战略判断。在新一代信息技术加速突破应用、先进制造技术加速产业转型的新发展阶段,形成新质生产力既是构建新发展格局、推动高质量发展的必然要求,也是我国建设现代化经济体系的关键动能,关系我国在未来发展和国际竞争中赢得战略主动。新质生产力的内涵是以引领国际经济体系变革、重塑现代化产业体系、提升企业核心竞争力为目的,从传统生产力向新质生产力的演化升级应该包含国际竞争、国家优势和企业发展三个层面整个生产范式的转变。文章以马克思主义政治经济学、习近平经济思想、习近平生态文明思想为理论支撑,提出“新质生产力”的理论构建包括三个维度:一是微观载体——打造世界一流企业;二是中观治理——提升国际竞争优势;三是宏观发展——构建人类命运共同体。文章将新质生产力形成的理论逻辑和实践路径融入中国当前的发展战略中,从转变企业发展范式、重塑现代化产业体系和建设新的全球治理体系三个方面提出形成新质生产力的改革路径,三条路径相辅相成、协同发力,共同为新质生产力的形成注入活力,使得生产力发展更好地服务于中国高质量发展的战略定位。
