Evolution of the Industrial Innovation Ecosystem of Resource-Based Cities (RBCs): A Case Study of Shanxi Province, China

Abstract

Constructing and exploring the evolution mechanism of an industrial innovation ecosystem in resource-based cities (RBCs) is the most effective way to solve the contradiction between economic development, energy shortage, and environmental degradation. Taking 10 typical RBCs in Shanxi Province as examples, this paper used the method of system dynamics (SD) to build a model of the industrial innovation ecosystem of RBCs and set up scenarios to simulate and predict the evolution of the industrial innovation ecosystem of RBCs. The results showed that the industrial innovation ecosystem of RBCs is a complex system composed of four subsystems: innovation players, innovation content, innovation resources, and innovation environment. In innovation players, the increase in the amount of talent has a more obvious effect on technology level and GDP than R&D funding. In innovation content, the improvement of management level has a slow and continuous positive impact on GDP. Technology achievements, once implemented, will improve GDP more than management progress does. In innovation resources, human capital has greater potential for an increase in GDP and per capita consumption expenditure. In innovation resources, technology level plays an important role in slowing down the deterioration of the ecological environment. This study enriched the theoretical paradigm of the research on the industrial innovation ecosystem, and provided effective strategies to solve the development problems of RBCs.

Construction of an Industrial Structure Analysis and Evaluation Model for Oil and Gas Resource-Based Cities Based on Deep Learning Model and Cluster Analysis

“…e added value of the city's industry reached 305.91 billion yuan, an increase of 3.8% year-on-year, of which the added value of the regulated industry reached 241 billion yuan, an increase of 2.3% year-on-year; 40 million tons of crude oil and 3.51 billion cubic metres of natural gas were produced, with the added value of the oil industry reaching 178.8 billion yuan, a decrease of 0.1% year-on-year; the added value of the petrochemical industry reached 27.19 billion yuan, an increase of 7.1% year-on-year. e ratio of the three industries was 4.5 : 77 : 18.5, with the secondary industry dominating and ranking 11th in terms of comprehensive strength among the prefecture-level cities in China, as shown in Table 1 [13].…”

Measuring the Development Capability of the Innovation Ecosystem from a Quadruple Helix Perspective—An Empirical Analysis Based on Panel Data for Chinese High-Tech Industries

“…Some scholars study the relationships between innovation entities in the industrial innovation ecosystem [45,46] and the context division in the interaction process of the entities, including bilateral relationships, the industrial background, and the whole industrial ecosystem at different levels [47,48]. In recent years, studies on the construction, evolution mechanism, and coordinated development stability of industrial innovation ecosystems have gradually emerged, and some scholars have proposed the concept of architects [49] and studied how the change of the framework and the evolution of its strategic behavior promote the formation and evolution of the industrial innovation ecosystem [1]; solved the contradiction between economic development, energy shortages, and environmental deterioration by constructing and exploring the evolution mechanism of the industrial innovation ecosystem in resource-based cities [50]; and studied the spatiotemporal evolution of the coupling coordination degree of the industrial innovation ecosystem in order to achieve green development [51]. From the perspective of the industrial innovation ecosystem, on study also analyzed how the solar photovoltaic industry obtains competitive advantages through the construction of industrial innovation ecosystems and the maintenance of industrial innovation ecological relationships [52].…”

Study on Sustainable China’s Pharmaceutical Innovation Ecosystem

“…China, as a large country, faces complex and daunting issues in healthcare and medicine, and the goals pursued are diverse. The decision making and resolution of these issues often involve several government departments, including at the central level the Health and Welfare Commission, the General Administration of Food and Drug Administration, the Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance and the Insurance Regulatory Commission (Yao, et al 2021). Moreover, China's current pharmaceutical policy system is still mainly based on the generic drug landscape.…”
