What is the information industry chain?

What aspects are included?

1. What is the information industry chain? The information industry chain is a concept that includes four dimensions: value chain, enterprise chain, supply and demand chain, and space chain.

These four dimensions form an industrial chain in the balanced process of mutual docking. This "docking mechanism" is the internal model of the formation of the industrial chain. As an objective law, it regulates the formation of the industrial chain like an "invisible hand".

.

Industrial chain is a concept in industrial economics. It is a chain-like relationship form objectively formed between various industrial departments based on certain technical and economic relationships and based on specific logical relationships and spatio-temporal layout relationships.

The industrial chain is mainly based on the objective regional differences in each region, focusing on regional comparative advantages, using regional markets to coordinate the contradictions between specialized division of labor and multi-dimensional needs between regions, and using industrial cooperation as the carrier of regional cooperation in form and content.

The essence of the industrial chain is to describe the structure of an enterprise group with certain internal connections. It is a relatively macro concept with two-dimensional attributes: structural attributes and value attributes.

There are a large number of upstream and downstream relationships and mutual value exchanges in the industrial chain. The upstream links deliver products or services to the downstream links, and the downstream links feed back information to the upstream links.

[Edit this paragraph] The connotation of the industrial chain (1) The industrial chain is an expression of the industrial level; (2) The industrial chain is an expression of the degree of industrial correlation; (3) The industrial chain is an expression of the depth of resource processing; (4) The industrial chain is

Expression of the degree of meeting demand [edit this paragraph] Types of industrial chains Industrial chains are divided into connected industrial chains and extended industrial chains.

Connecting the industrial chain refers to connecting intermittent industrial sectors within a certain geographical space (usually broken links and isolated loops of the industrial chain) with the help of some form of industrial cooperation; extending the industrial chain refers to connecting an existing

The industrial chain should be expanded upstream and downstream as much as possible.

The extension of the industrial chain to the upstream generally brings the industrial chain into the basic industry link and technology research and development link, while the extension to the downstream leads to the market expansion link.

The essence of the industrial chain is the relationship between enterprises in different industries, and the essence of this industrial relationship is the relationship between supply and demand among enterprises in each industry.

[Edit this paragraph] The formation of the industrial chain With the development of technology and the increase in the degree of roundabout production, the production process is divided into a series of related production links.

The complexity of division of labor and transactions has made the form through which different divisions of labor and transaction activities in the economy become increasingly prominent.

The organizational structure of an enterprise increases incrementally with the development of division of labor.

Therefore, the potential of searching for an enterprise organizational structure to save transaction costs and further promote division of labor will be greatly increased relative to the potential in production (Yao Xiaotao, Xi Youmin, 2002).

It is difficult for enterprises to cope with the increasingly complex division of labor and transaction activities, and they have to rely on the interrelationships between enterprises. This motivation and practice of searching for the best enterprise organizational structure has become the condition for the formation of industrial chains. [Edit this paragraph] Spatial distribution of industrial chains

Characteristics (1) The integrity of the industrial chain is closely related to economic zoning. An industrial chain is a collection of related industrial activities, and its constituent units are a collection of several related economic activities, that is, an industrial ring or a specific industrial sector; and an industrial ring (industry

Department) is a group of enterprises engaged in the same economic activities.

In order to maximize their own interests, enterprises engaged in similar or identical economic activities must strive to explore the optimal location of their own economic activities.

In this process of "optimal advancement", on the one hand, in order to obtain agglomeration economic benefits, enterprises, the micro-component units of the industrial cycle (industrial sectors), gradually gather in optimal locations suitable for their development and growth, that is, they were originally distributed in various areas.

Similar enterprises in the region realize "enterprise clusters" (Clusters) in optimal locations; on the other hand, in order to obtain the benefits of regional industrial division of labor, various industrial circles (industrial departments) have different economic characteristics and pursue their own optimal locations.

tends to be dispersed.

In this way, the spatial economic result of the optimal movement of enterprises and departments within the industrial chain system is that each link of the industrial chain is respectively laid out or allocated to specific locations (Specific Locations) suitable for the characteristics of its economic activities.

Because of this, when the scale of economic division is large, such as a large economic zone, a large economic zone, a province or a river basin economic zone, or when the geographical space is large enough to include almost all links of the industrial chain, the performance of the industrial chain

It shows obvious completeness; when the scale of economic division is small, such as only a city, a county or a concentrated industrial development area, its geographical scope is generally difficult to include all links of the industrial chain, which may not be possible for a certain economic region.

Characteristic industries have been formed, but the industrial chain shows obvious discontinuity.

(2) The hierarchy of the industrial chain is closely related to the regional type. The industrial chain is an organic unity in which industrial links are accumulated step by step. The accumulation of a certain chain link is to add labor input, capital investment, and technology investment to the previous link to obtain added value.

In the process, the further down the chain link is, the more obvious its capital-intensive and technology-intensive nature is; the further up the chain link is, the more obvious its resource-processing and labor-intensive nature is.

Therefore, the classification of underdeveloped regions and developed regions is often based on their specialized division of labor roles in the regional division of labor pattern.
