Greening as strategic development in industrial change - Why companies participate in eco-networks

Networking between companies and other regional key actors has grown into a widespread instrument for economic development since the 1990s. Participatory networks have formed the concept for many activities of Local Agenda 21. Simultaneously, economic geography has focused on network theories to explain innovation in and the economic success of regions.This article focuses on the reasons why individual actors participate in environmentally oriented information networks. The questions approached are: Does the concept of learning within networks influence a firm’s development? How do the participants interact with each other? What effects do the networks have on their environment (arenas)?The changing arenas of a firm are analysed with regard to environmental concerns. These changes need to be anticipated for reliable strategies. To gain information and knowledge about current behaviour and activities, the functions of networks as learning platforms are discussed. Drawing upon arguments from different network theories, the motivations of participating in a network are threefold: actor and firm oriented, network internal (inter-firm), and network external. From these, a generic target cube of network motivations and actions is set up.The concept is reviewed by examining 12 ‘regional environmental information-oriented corporation networks’ (RUN) in the Greater Munich Area. The empirical material reveals that this type of network does not provide a guarantee for significant improvements in a firm’s environmental behaviour. However, participants learn about best practices while pursuing explicit or implicit aims as to influence their arenas.     

地理信息产业扩张阶段及应用分析

根据产业经济学的观点,提出我国地理信息产业目前处于产业扩张阶段的观点,推动产业规模迅速扩大成为行业发展的主要目标。由于派生性特点,寻求地理信息的本源性需求是产业完成扩张的关键问题,利用地理信息反映的价格信息支持社会公众经济博弈活动将是地理信息巨大的本源性需求。本文建议在产业扩张阶段应当瞄准社会公众、探索对公众生活进行博弈支持的服务方式。     

The American whale oil industry: A look back to the future of the American petroleum industry?

The American whaling industry rose from humble beginnings off Long island to become an international giant. In its peak year, 1846, 735 ships and 70,000 people served the industry. As whale stocks and reserves decreased, whalers were forced to go farther and farther from their New England home ports. Voyages became longer, and risks on required return-on-investment became higher. The easy money of Atlantic and Pacific whaling was no more: the only remaining profitable ventures were to Arctic and Antarctic waters. Many ships returned empty, if at all. in 1871, most of the Arctic whaling fleet was crushed by early winter ice and lost. This calamity, in conjunction with the long-term diminishing whale stocks, the diversion of investment capital to more profitable ventures, and the discovery, development, and refinement of abundant petroleum crude oil, struck the death blow to the American whaling industry. By 1890, only 200 whaling vessels were at work, and by 1971, no American commercial whaling ship sailed the world's oceans.It is apparent that no single event caused the final, rapid decline. However, a single calamity, in an already stressed industry, that was self-insured and commercially interlinked, precipitated the end. Today's American petroleum industry, although adopting some principles of the American whaling industry, also has embraced other activities such as work process reengineering and customer alliances, which may preempt, or postpone, a similar catastrophic demise.

基于PGNAA技术在线分析系统的应用

近年来,随着核探测与分析技术的日趋成熟,使复杂γ谱的获取、解析达到了在线测量的要求,从而使在线PGNAA(中子活化瞬发γ射线分析)技术获得了飞速的发展。它可对一些工业生产过程中的全物料进行在线测量,其分析精度、可靠性等皆能满足在线元素含量分析的需要,因而显示出巨大的发展潜力和广阔的市场前景。这里介绍了基于PGNAA技术的在线分析系统的基本原理、组成和发展,并概述了它在水泥、煤炭等行业的应用情况。     

云南矿业支柱产业建设的重点、难点及对策研究

云南矿业发展现状尤其是磷化工和有色金属等优势资源的调研和分析结果表明，矿业已成为云南工业的主体产业群体，影响云南矿业发展的难点主要是企业规模偏小，产品结构不合理，企业整体经济效益下降，国有企业困难面大，地质勘探投入少，矿山建设落后等，并据此讨论了矿业作为云南省支柱产业发展的思路和重点，提出相应的对策和建议。     

内陆待开发地区产业发展模式探讨——以内蒙古为例

以内蒙古为例，探讨了内陆待开发地区的产业发展模式，内陆待开发地区经济发展的主要制约因素是缺乏资金，缺乏技术，缺乏人才，因此，其经济发展必须有选择，有重点地优先发展部分行业。一般说来，待开发的内陆地区其经济发展必须以资源优势为依托，以市场为导向，开发优质名牌产品，发展优势产业，建设主导产业，带动地区经济的起飞。     

唐山市钢铁工业发展特征及动力机制分析

唐山市钢铁工业自20世纪80年代以来一直为唐山市的支柱产业,90年代以来,省属特大型企业唐钢和地方钢铁企业都得到了迅速发展,在唐山市经济总量中占据着举足轻重的地位。本文详细分析唐山市钢铁产业的发展过程,探讨改革开放以来影响城市最具代表性产业的驱动因素。研究表明,基于本地化的区域产业基础和国家引导下的制度因素是唐山市钢铁工业迅速发展的主要驱动力,企业在动态的环境中适应和创新的能力则是内在因素。产品结构雷同、彼此利益独立使企业之间面临着激烈竞争,因此建议发挥政府的协调作用,引导地方企业调整工艺流程和产品结构,扶植相关产业,促进区域经济整体发展。     

中国高耗能产品生产与区域PM2.5浓度的动态关联效应——基于省级尺度的分析

面向经济高质量发展及实现“双碳”战略目标,中国传统能源密集型产业发展的资源环境效应备受学界关注。基于2000—2017年中国31个省（直辖市、自治区）的面板数据,通过构建面板向量自回归模型（PVAR）,结合脉冲响应分析和方差分解及动态系统GMM模型,探究中国火电、水泥、钢铁、焦炭等典型高耗能产品的生产规模与区域PM_2.5污染的动态关联效应。结果表明：① 短期内,省域PM_2.5浓度具有明显的时间惯性,火电、水泥、钢铁、焦炭产业规模的短期波动对其冲击影响有限;② 动态影响显示,区域钢铁生产规模对PM_2.5浓度的影响程度最大,火电、焦炭行业次之;③ 长期影响结果显示,钢铁、焦炭产业的扩张加剧了PM_2.5污染,而火电、水泥产品生产规模未与PM_2.5污染表现出同步特征;④ 区域PM_2.5污染成因具有复合性,研究期内控制变量如地区经济规模、工业化程度、城镇化率的提高加剧了PM_2.5污染,地方政府环境污染治理力度越弱则PM_2.5污染程度越重。中国在高耗能产品生产规模逐年增加的情况下,有效地控制了区域PM_2.5污染的加剧。未来应进一步提高行业标准,通过技术创新和产业结构升级控制污染物排放强度;增强地方政府对环境污染的治理力度;研究能源原材料产业的适度产能规模,在满足中国新型基础设施、新型城镇化等重大工程建设对基础原材料产业需求的同时,实现环境质量的优化。
