Creative Destruction Path Selection for Industrial Park Transformation and Upgrading under the Concept of Character Town in the Era of Big Data

Abstract

With the reshuffle of the global industrial structure, some industrial parks in China are facing problems such as unclear industrial positioning, unclear agglomeration effect, and lack of impetus for independent innovation. It is urgent to seek a way of transformation and upgrading. The arrival of the era of big data also provides new opportunities for the transformation of China’s industrial parks. In this context, the model of “character towns” proposed by Zhejiang Province provides a new concept for breaking the bottleneck of industrial park transformation and also provides a platform and space for the application of data technology and digital governance in the era of big data. Based on the theory of creative destruction and self-organization, this paper holds that the essence of industrial park transformation under the concept of character towns is the self-organization process of creative destruction and high-quality reconstruction. After sorting out the development process of parks in China, this paper divides industrial parks into production-oriented parks, consumption-oriented parks, and trade-oriented parks according to the economic activities classified by classical economics. By constructing a six-stage creative destruction model, this paper analyzes the path selection of transformation and upgrading of three types of parks under the concept of character towns and proposes that industrial structure replacement for the production-oriented parks, upgrading the consumption structure for the consumption-oriented parks, and change of trade control points for the trade-oriented parks are the possible transformation paths for the three types of parks.

Locating Transportation Logistics Centers and Their Dynamic Synergy for Equilibrium Economic Behavior

“…The question is whether the site in question is suitable for TLC activities as a regional node in the network of TLCs aimed at reducing transportation prices. In addition to the, so far, classic locating theories, digitalization assists the selection of a pertinent node for a TLC [13]. The complexity of relationships in the chain of production, warehousing, marketing, and safe and fast transportation of goods to destinations necessitates the services of TLCs.…”
