“…143 This strategy can be effective for local optimizations, but it has difficulty in multiparameter problems and results in biased datasets. 144 The speed and reduced human effort of AE enable a greater diversity of experiments and, since AI/ML algorithms excel at high-dimensional search problems, they are holistic rather than reductionist. AE also increases the risk appetite per experiment.…”

Solutions to many of the world's problems depend upon materials research and development. However, advanced materials can take decades to discover and decades more to fully deploy. Humans and robots have begun to partner to advance science and technology orders of magnitude faster than humans do today through the development and exploitation of closed-loop, autonomous experimentation systems. This review discusses the specific challenges and opportunities related to materials discovery and development that will emerge from this new paradigm. Our perspective incorporates input from stakeholders in academia, industry, government laboratories, and funding agencies. We outline the current status, barriers, and needed investments, culminating with a vision for the path forward. We intend the article to spark interest in this emerging research area and to motivate potential practitioners by illustrating early successes. We also aspire to encourage a creative reimagining of the next generation of materials science infrastructure. To this end, we frame future investments in materials science and technology, hardware and software infrastructure, artificial intelligence and autonomy methods, and critical workforce development for autonomous research.

“…Unfortunately, the labour market often lacks in candidates with adequate soft skills. For instance, American employers have repeatedly signalled the need for the inclusion of soft skills courses, such as communication and problem solving, in university curricula (Javdekar et al, 2016).…”

“…Thus, it can be surmised that: H1: Market knowledge perception within a business influences the effectiveness with which it is shared in medium-high-technology manufacturing companies. In the USA, many managers bemoan the shortage of communication skills among their technical employees (Javdekar et al, 2016). Such an approach among employers stems from the fact that, for a technical enterprise to be successful, it must think beyond a team of well-educated engineers.…”

The goal of this study is to verify new research model among medium-high-tech manufacturing companies. First of all, the model assumes the influence of both the market knowledge base itself, and the efficiency of internal market knowledge sharing on the competitiveness of analysed entities. Second of all, it analyses the impact of market knowledge perception within business entities and the openness of technical staff on internal market knowledge sharing efficiency. Research Design & Methods:The survey consisted of five latent variables (constructs). The research was conducted by telephone among managers of medium-high-tech manufacturing companies in Poland. The sample consisted of 130 firms. The data was analysed using the PLS-SEM technique. Findings: The research findings proved that both, market knowledge and market knowledge sharing efficiency, had a strong and significant influence on the competitiveness of medium-high-tech manufacturing companies. The results also showed that market knowledge perception and openness of technical staff had statistically significant influence on knowledge sharing efficiency in such companies. Implications & Recommendations: Above all, the study implies that it is not the possession of market knowledge alone, but also importance of sharing this kind of knowledge internally. The article suggests factors that are important for market knowledge sharing, e.g. through properly trained and competent knowledge brokers that enable the examined businesses to gain a competitive edge. The efficiency of market knowledge sharing may be strengthened by putting more attention to market knowledge perception in the company and openness of technical staff. Contribution & Value Added:This study adds to the research on sharing a specific type of knowledge, i.e. market knowledge, within business enterprises and influence of this process on companies' competitiveness. Various factors important for efficient internal sharing of market knowledge have been proposed in the subject literature, however they have not been verified by quantitative research so far. Moreover, the study focuses on the oft-overlooked type of business entities, i.e. medium-high-tech manufacturing companies.

“…According to data from the Rhodium Group, from January to May 2018, China's venture capital (VC) investment in the United States has reached nearly 2.4 billion US dollars, equivalent to the annual investment amount in 2015. In November 2018, the US Foreign Investment Committee of the Ministry of Finance officially strengthened the foreign investment review of core technology industries such as aerospace, biomedicine, and semiconductors in accordance with the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act passed by the US Congress [5], with a focus on reviewing 27 core highs. In the technology industry, the bill also stipulates that the US Secretary of Commerce submits to the Congress every two years reports on "direct investment by Chinese business entities in the United States" and "state-owned enterprises investing in the US transportation industry."…”

Recently, the United States has issued a series of manufacturing development strategies and research reports to defend the hegemony of its manufacturing industry. This paper analyzes the core objectives, major measures of the relevant US policies, and the four major challenges brought to the development of China's manufacturing industry. Based on this, this paper proposes relevant countermeasures and suggestions.
