Why innovation?

Question 1: Why do enterprises need to innovate? The following information is reproduced for reference

The role of innovation in enterprises

In today's world, that is, in the context of global economic integration and informatization , under the trend of networking, science and technology are changing with each passing day, the total amount of human knowledge will double in 5 years, and economic life is changing rapidly. Every enterprise and every entrepreneur should learn to use the perspective of the world from high and far. Look at yourself, measure yourself, discover your own weaknesses and shortcomings at any time, and quickly overcome them through reform and opening up in order to catch up and surpass. Otherwise, you may be eliminated at any time.

There is an old Chinese saying: "If you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region; if you don't plan for everything, you can't plan for a moment." In the 1920s and 1930s, Ford I led the market for decades with its mass production of black cars. However, as times change, consumer demand has also changed, and people want more varieties and updates. A new style, more energy-saving and consumption-saving car. Ford Motor Company's products are not only dull in color, but also consume a lot of fuel and produce large amounts of exhaust emissions. They are completely inconsistent with the increasingly tight oil supply market and the increasingly serious environmental protection situation. At this time, General Motors and several other companies closely followed the pulse of the market and formulated correct strategic plans to produce energy-saving, small and lightweight cars. In the oil crisis of the 1970s, they leapt to the top and made Ford Motor Company Was on the verge of bankruptcy. So Henry Ford, the former president of Ford Company, said with deep understanding: "If you don't innovate, you will perish."

Not long ago, there was an article introducing Andrew Ford, president of Intel Corporation, the world's largest microprocessor manufacturer. An article from Glockav's new book "Only the Paranoid Survive." Although some of the views in the book are somewhat biased, on the whole, it should be said that it truly reflects the characteristics of the times.

The book talks about that we are in an era of development at 10 times the speed. This era is full of challenges and crises. As a company and entrepreneur, you should feel the changes around you at any time and know what is changing. How to adapt to this change.

Comrade *** once again emphasized in a discussion with scientists during the first session of the Ninth National Congress: "Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress and an inexhaustible driving force for the prosperity of a country."

For enterprises, as market competition intensifies, the ability to innovate has become the key to the success or failure of the enterprise.

1. Why should enterprises innovate

The famous American economist Joseph Schumpeter believes that the most essential feature of the capitalist economy is innovation, and capitalism constantly breaks through its own The main reason for various limitations and frequent economic crises is the spontaneous innovation mechanism of the capitalist economy.

Looking at contemporary enterprises, only through continuous innovation can they take the initiative in competition and remain invincible. Many businesses fail because they fail to truly do this.

Innovation is fresh blood with oxygen and the life of an enterprise.

Relevant foreign experts once played such a game in a training class organized by the *** Youth League Central Committee: the speaker had a white envelope in his hand, which may contain 50 yuan or a fine. Single, there may be other punishments. You have three choices: (1) you can open the envelope, but you must follow the instructions in the envelope, (2) you don’t have to open the envelope, (3) you can also pass it to a partner to open. What choice?

Not opening the envelope means things are stalling. Although there is no risk in this way, opportunities will slip by quietly; standing still is actually a disguised regression. The connotation of development is very rich. We regard development as a breakthrough in reality, just like that envelope. Tearing it open means a breakthrough in the status quo. To develop, we must innovate.

2. What is innovation

Innovation is also called creation. Creation is a cognitive and behavioral activity in which individuals use all known conditions to produce novel and valuable results (spiritual, social, and material) based on certain purposes and tasks.

According to the theory of management master Schumpeter, innovation is the recombination of production factors, including five aspects: (1) introducing a new product (2) adopting a new production method (3) developing New markets (4) Open up and utilize new raw materials (5) Adopt new organizational forms.

In fact, innovation should also include innovation of concepts and thinking - this is the most important. A professor from the Central Party School concluded that the reason why Shenzhen Special Economic Zone has achieved today's achievements is first of all due to the innovation of the system. Without the conceptual innovation of the pioneers of the special zone, there would be no institutional innovation, let alone Shenzhen’s amazing achievements.

Question 2: What is the spirit of innovation? Why should we Have an innovative spirit? The innovative spirit refers to the ability to comprehensively use existing knowledge, information, skills and methods to propose new methods and new ideas, as well as the will, confidence, courage and wisdom to invent, create, reform and innovate.

The spirit of innovation is an inexhaustible driving force for the development of a country and a nation, and it is also a quality that a modern person should possess.

The spirit of pursuing innovation is a spirit that has the courage to abandon old ideas and things and create new ideas and new things. For example: not satisfied with existing knowledge (mastered facts, established theories, summarized methods), constantly pursuing new knowledge; not satisfied with existing life and production methods, methods, tools, materials, items, based on actual needs or new situations ． Continuously carry out reforms and innovations; do not stick to rules (rules, methods, theories, sayings, habits), dare to break the original framework, explore new laws and new methods; do not be superstitious about books and authority, and dare to work together based on facts and your own thinking. Questioning writings and authority; not blindly imitating other people's ideas, sayings, and practices),

The spirit of innovation advocates independent thinking and not following others' opinions. It does not mean that you do not listen to others, are naive, self-admiring, stubborn, and arrogant. , but to unite, cooperate and communicate with each other, which is an indispensable way for contemporary innovation: to be bold in innovation and not afraid of making mistakes is not to encourage making mistakes, but to correct mistakes and to avoid understanding in the scientific inquiry process. ; the spirit of innovation advocates not being superstitious about books and authority, and does not oppose learning from previous experience. Any innovation is carried out on the basis of the achievements of predecessors; the spirit of innovation advocates bold questioning,

and questioning must be The basis for facts and thinking is not to nihilistically doubt everything... "In short, we must look at the spirit of innovation from a comprehensive and dialectical perspective.

Only with the spirit of innovation can we continue to open up new areas in future development.

Question 3: Why must we persist in innovative development and strive to improve the quality and efficiency of development? Innovation is always an important force in promoting the development of a country and a nation. To pursue innovation is to pursue development. Looking for the future.

"Innovation must be placed at the core of the overall development of the country." The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed "five major development concepts", and the first one is "innovative development". It is said that traditional development is about addition, then innovative development is about multiplication.

During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, reform and innovation have been carried out. The spirit runs through all aspects of state governance, whether it is economic transformation and upgrading, or accelerating the implementation of innovation-driven development strategies; whether it is the intensive introduction of reform measures in household registration, justice, education, etc., or the simultaneous flight of "Internet +" and "Made in China 2025". …A series of new ideas, new ideas, and new explorations are constantly opening up new realms for China’s development.

Looking to the future, the times and trends, difficulties and risks of China’s development have pushed us to the forefront of innovative development. . A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are gaining momentum. Developed countries are promoting "re-industrialization" from a high starting point. Our development conditions and comparative advantages have undergone profound changes. We must accelerate the shift from factor-driven to innovation-driven. At present, my country's science and technology. The overall level of development is not high, science and technology’s ability to support economic and social development is insufficient, and the contribution of science and technology to economic growth is far lower than that of developed countries. This is a prominent weakness of our country’s economic giant. If we cannot follow the path of innovative development, It will be impossible to transform the driving force for development, and we will be at a disadvantage in global economic competition.

To this end, we must follow the requirements of the Fifth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee, regard innovation as the first driving force for development, regard talents as the first resource to support development, and accelerate the formation of an economic system and development model with innovation as the main guide and support.

To persist in innovative development, we must place the basis of development on innovation, form an institutional structure that promotes innovation, and shape leading development that is more driven by innovation and gives full play to first-mover advantages. The Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China put forward seven focus points for innovative development: cultivating new driving forces for development, expanding new space for development, in-depth implementation of innovation-driven development strategies, vigorously promoting agricultural modernization, building a new industrial system, building a new development system, and innovating and improving macro-control methods. , giving a roadmap for implementing innovative development in the next five years. Guided by the blueprint drawn by the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, innovative development can achieve new breakthroughs and reach new levels.

Innovation is not something you shout out, but something you do. To promote innovation and development during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, we must let innovation penetrate all the work of the party and the country and make innovation a common practice in the whole society. From promoting mass entrepreneurship and innovation to implementing the network power strategy; from proposing and organizing international major science plans and major scientific projects to accelerating the transformation of agricultural development methods; from accelerating the construction of a manufacturing power to deepening the reform of the administrative system, the Fifth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee The innovative development measures proposed involve all aspects of economic and social development. Only by implementing the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee can we continue to promote theoretical innovation, institutional innovation, technological innovation, cultural innovation and other innovations, so as to achieve better quality, higher efficiency and better structure of development.

"If you don't innovate, you will fall behind. If you innovate slowly, you will fall behind." Moore's Law in the field of electronic technology reveals that the number of transistors and resistors integrated on a semiconductor chip doubles every 18 months. This is the speed of innovation. By seizing opportunities with innovation and driving development with innovation, we will surely be able to let the vitality of innovation and creation continue to burst out, and the source of innovation will continue to flow, stimulating a strong driving force for building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.

Question 4: Why should our country vigorously implement the "innovation-driven development strategy"? Answers to the spirit of innovation and other contents

Question 5: Why should we attach importance to technological innovation? Independent innovation of science and technology is our party's response to the development situation The accurate grasp and major deployment of development strategies reflect our party’s accurate grasp of the development trends and inherent laws of today’s world economy and science and technology, and reflect the new requirements for scientific and technological development in accelerating socialist modernization. From the perspective of the need to participate in international competition, contemporary international competition is ultimately a competition of scientific and technological strength and innovation capabilities. With the acceleration of economic globalization, the flow and allocation of capital, information, technology, talent and other elements on a global scale have become more common. Scientific and technological competition has increasingly become the focus of competition between countries. Scientific and technological innovation capabilities, especially independent innovation capabilities, have become national competitiveness. decisive factor. To this end, many countries in the world regard science and technology investment as strategic investment, significantly increase their investment in science and technology, and deploy and develop strategic technologies and industries in advance. In the new international competition landscape, developed countries and their multinational companies use their own technological and capital advantages to maintain their leading position, use technology to control markets and resources, and form a high degree of monopoly on the world market, especially the high-tech market. Intellectual property rights may It has become the biggest uncertain factor affecting the industrialization process of developing countries. If developing countries can improve their independent innovation capabilities and continuously improve their comparative advantages, they may gain development opportunities and initiative, and use their latecomer advantages to achieve a jump in social productivity. Otherwise, the development gap with advanced countries will continue to widen, and they may even be eliminated. Marginalization. After my country joined the WTO, it faced both a more open international environment and severe international competition pressure. As the depth and breadth of my country's participation in international competition continues to increase, developed countries and their multinational companies' technological blockade of my country continues to intensify. my country's industrial innovation capabilities are weak and its dependence on foreign countries for key technologies has become increasingly prominent, and national competitiveness has been seriously affected. In key areas involving national defense security and economic security, core technologies are controlled by others, making it difficult for our country to take the strategic initiative. At present, intellectual property rights, technical standards, etc. have become huge obstacles for our country to participate in international competition. Therefore, we must strengthen our independent innovation capabilities, concentrate on breaking through key technologies that affect industrial competitiveness, develop core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, reverse our country's dependence on foreign countries for key technologies in important fields, and enhance the international competitiveness of our industry. , seize the strategic commanding heights of international competition and safeguard national economic security.

Question 6: Why innovation is needed and how to drive innovation 1. Science and technology are the primary productive forces; 2. Scientific and technological innovation capabilities have increasingly become a decisive factor in the competition of comprehensive national strength; 3. Innovation is The progressive soul of a nation is the inexhaustible driving force for the prosperity of a country

Question 7: Why exploration and innovation are needed. The exploration of unknown areas is unique to human beings. Copernicus said that "man's bounden duty "The courage to explore the truth", it is human beings who have the spirit of exploration, which enables humans to master scientific and technological knowledge that other advanced primates do not have, and become the masters of the earth; if there are animals on the earth with a higher spirit of exploration than humans, In the case of certain animals, perhaps "people" will be exhibited in "their" zoo.

Only through continuous innovation in known fields can human scientific and technological knowledge continue to broaden and deepen, and can we gradually move closer to the truth. Therefore, Huxley said, "Those who are not willing to go one step beyond the facts will , rarely understand the facts”.

If humans do not continue to explore and innovate, science and technology will not develop and society will not progress.

Question 8: Why must we persist in innovative development and strive to improve the quality and efficiency of development? The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed: “Innovation must be placed at the core of the overall development of the country, and theoretical innovation and innovation must be continuously promoted. Institutional innovation, technological innovation, cultural innovation and other aspects of innovation, let innovation run through all the work of the party and the country, and make innovation become a common practice in the whole society. "Innovative development, as the first of the five major development concepts proposed in the "Recommendations", is the one that runs throughout the "Recommendations". major strategic thoughts. We must firmly grasp the important period of strategic opportunities for innovative development, actively respond to the difficulties and problems existing in innovative development, and effectively enhance the consciousness and determination of innovative development.

1. Firmly grasp the period of strategic opportunities for innovative development

From a national level, our country has good conditions for innovative development. The main manifestations are as follows: First, there is a foundation. my country's independent innovation capabilities are entering a "jump period". In the past five years, the total social research and development expenditure (R&D) has increased by more than 20% annually on average, and the number of patent applications has ranked first in the world for many years. Second, there is demand. my country's huge market and huge consumption have become an "accelerator" for innovation and entrepreneurship. The economic aggregate ranks second in the world, and the economic aggregate or per capita GDP of some provinces and cities has approached or exceeded the level of moderately developed countries. Third, there is space. "Internet +" has opened up a new world of innovation and entrepreneurship, allowing everyone to innovate. Fourth, it has advantages. The organic combination of my country's institutional advantages of concentrating its efforts on big things and market allocation of resources can provide a fundamental guarantee for innovation-driven development.

From a regional economic perspective, our city has certain conditions for innovative development. The main manifestations are as follows: First, the atmosphere for innovation and entrepreneurship is becoming increasingly strong. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have issued a series of policies to promote regional scientific and technological innovation. Financial investment in science and technology has increased year by year, driving the whole society's investment in R&D to continue to increase, creating a strong atmosphere for the whole society to pay attention to innovation. Second, the innovation and entrepreneurship carriers are relatively complete. In April this year, the National Agricultural High Zone Work Plan passed the expert demonstration organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and has been reported to the Ministry of Science and Technology for operation according to the procedures, and is expected to be approved in the near future; Ecological Valley has been awarded the title of National Intellectual Property Pilot Park, China Industry-Academic-Research Cooperation Innovation Demonstration Base, etc. Honorary title. Third, the leading role of scientific and technological support has begun to show. Three industrial clusters have been included in the provincial key scope, one company has been approved as a national high-tech industrialization base, and four companies have been approved as national characteristic industrial bases.

2. Actively respond to the difficulties faced in innovative development

From a national level, the existing difficulties and problems are mainly reflected in: First, the "two skins" of science and technology and economic development. Industry, academia and research are not well coordinated, and a market-oriented, enterprise-based technology landscape has not been formed. Second, scientific and technological innovation and institutional reform are "out of sync", and there are tangible and intangible obstacles in market access, capital allocation, talent flow, and achievement transformation. The third is the "asymmetry" between absorption of introduction and independent innovation, "there is a plateau but no peak", and there is a lack of world-class innovation results. Fourth, there is a "mismatch" between encouraging innovation and strengthening guarantees, and there is a phenomenon of policy "fighting".

From a regional economic perspective, existing difficulties and problems are mainly reflected in: First, the total number of scientific and technological talents is small, low-level, unevenly distributed, and there is a lack of talents in emerging industries, modern agriculture and other fields.

Second, there is insufficient investment in science and technology. In 2014, it was 8.6 billion yuan, fifth in the province, but far behind the top ones (Qingdao, Yantai, etc.). Third, the number of innovation entities is relatively small and the quality is low. In terms of quantity, the number of high-tech enterprises in the city is only 38.1% of Yantai and 14.7% of Qingdao. The output value of high-tech industries only accounts for 70.1% of Yantai and 67.9% of Qingdao; From a quality perspective, too many companies are engaged in traditional industries. Most of them are keen on short-term behaviors such as quantity expansion and repetitive production, and lack enthusiasm for R&D innovation and technology reserves.

3. Adhere to innovative development and improve the quality and efficiency of development

The "Recommendations" will adhere to innovative development and strive to improve the quality and efficiency of development as important strategic tasks during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period To deploy it, it is clearly required that the basis of development should be placed on innovation, and the leading development should be more driven by innovation and give full play to first-mover advantages.

From a national level, to adhere to the concept of innovative development, we must first firmly grasp the "narrow nose" of scientific and technological innovation and give full play to the leading role of scientific and technological innovation in comprehensive innovation. Second, we must promote mass entrepreneurship and innovation and accelerate the transformation of development momentum. Third, we must promote the vigorous development of new technologies, new industries, and new business formats and establish a new system of modern industries. Fourth, we must deepen reforms in science and technology and other related fields, and strengthen institutional guarantees for innovation and development. Fifth, we must innovate and improve macro-control to keep the economy operating within a reasonable range. From a regional economic perspective, our city adheres to the concept of innovative development. First, it is necessary to enhance industrial innovation capabilities. In traditional advantageous industrial industries, modern agriculture,...>>

Question 9: Why should we build Innovative country? Science and technology are the great crystallization of human wisdom, and innovation is the inexhaustible driving force for civilization and progress. In today's world, scientific and technological innovation has a more extensive impact on economic and social development and people's lives, and the level of scientific and technological development more profoundly reflects a country's comprehensive national strength and core competitiveness. If we want to advance reform, opening up and socialist modernization, achieve the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, continuously improve people's living standards, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must focus on promoting scientific and technological innovation from the overall perspective of national development.

"Preparation technology of high-performance carbon aviation brake materials" is a major independent innovation achieved by the innovation team. This project not only broke through foreign technology blockades, but also took a completely different technical route from foreign countries and established a new and complete high-performance carbon/carbon composite technology system. Its key technologies are at the world's leading level and have formed a national invention patent. More than 10 projects have been developed, and more than 30 sets of key process equipment in 6 categories with independent intellectual property rights have been developed. Therefore, he won the first prize of the National Invention Award in one fell swoop.

The decision made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council to build an innovative country is a major strategic decision related to the overall situation of socialist modernization. The core of building an innovative country is to take the enhancement of independent innovation capabilities as the strategic basis for the development of science and technology, embark on the path of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics, and promote the leap-forward development of science and technology; it is to take the enhancement of independent innovation capabilities as a key to adjusting industrial structure and transforming growth patterns. The central link is to build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society and promote the rapid and sound development of the national economy; it is to regard strengthening independent innovation capabilities as a national strategy and run it through all aspects of modernization to stimulate the innovative spirit of the entire nation and cultivate high-level innovative talents. , form systems and mechanisms conducive to independent innovation, vigorously promote theoretical innovation, institutional innovation, and scientific and technological innovation, and continuously consolidate and develop the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Our country has built a relatively complete disciplinary system, has abundant scientific and technological human resources, and has a good foundation for scientific and technological development. It is fully equipped to give full play to its own characteristics and advantages and keep pace with the world's new scientific and technological revolution and industrial changes. . At the same time, we must also be soberly aware that in the face of new situations and new requirements, our country's independent innovation capabilities are not strong enough, and our scientific and technological systems and mechanisms are not yet compatible with the requirements of economic and social development and international competition. We must enhance our awareness of opportunities, worries and responsibilities, firmly grasp the opportunities of the new scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the opportunities of the adjustment of the world's scientific and technological innovation pattern, the continuous improvement of economic development level and the continuous expansion of the market, and firmly base ourselves on independent innovation. Deepen the reform of the science and technology system, provide institutional guarantees for accelerating the construction of an innovative country, and strive to ensure that the country's innovation capabilities are significantly improved within a not too long period of time.

Question 10: Why do enterprises need to innovate? The following information is reproduced for reference

The role of innovation in enterprises

There is an old Chinese saying: "If you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region; if you don't plan for everything, you can't plan for a moment." In the 1920s and 1930s, Ford I led the market for decades with its mass production of black cars. However, as times change, consumer demand has also changed, and people want more varieties and updates. A new style, more energy-saving and consumption-saving car.
