Promoting the development of collaborative innovation networks is crucial for cities to achieve sustainable innovation. Hangzhou was selected as a case study. Based on the cooperation patent data from 2000 to 2017, we examined the scale problem, calculated the topology, and analyzed the coordination mechanisms and spatial characteristics of the topology structure. The results show that in terms of the development trend, collaborative innovation is an important pathway for innovation, and multi-subject collaborative innovation is necessary. Collaborative innovation occurs between enterprises and between enterprises and universities. With regards to topological structure, we found “Zhejiang University as a center, other universities as cores”, with the characteristics of diffusion development and fragmentation. In terms of spatial structure, we observed a networked spatial organization model with multiple centers, such as universities and industrial parks. A circle with a radius of five kilometers around a university was found to be an area of highly concentrated innovation subjects that are synergistically associated with universities. On this basis, the laws are summarized and suggestions are provided to support the research and practice of urban innovation spatial planning in China.

Digital economy follows three laws — the Metcalfe’s law. the Moore’s law. and the Davidow effect, which are practically in line with China’s poverty-alleviation initiative by developing cultural tourism. The Moore’s law, however, is paradoxical in given contexts, and thus, we proposed the “reverse-Moore’s law” to analyze the current cultural tourism-based poverty-alleviation policies. The features of digital economy can be employed to support the cultural tourism-based poverty-alleviation work: the development trend of digital economy also coincides with China’s cultural tourism-based poverty alleviation initiatives. With the poverty-alleviation work at Chishui City in Guizhou Province as the study case, this paper made an analysis from the perspective of digital economy to confirm the practical and surreal significance of applying digital economy to China’s poverty alleviation endeavors.

This study aims to analyze the development trend of the manufacturing industry of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (from 2008 to 2018) by constructing an evaluation system. On the basis of push–pull–mooring theory, we analyze these factors by using an entropy and cluster model. The results show the following: (1) Technological development had an obvious spatial distribution pattern of core regional radiation, while others did not. (2) Economic development was based on the city’s existing industrial development system, while environmental development depended on governmental policies. (3) Compared with the environmental factor, the development trends of the economic and technological factors were more similar. Lastly, we provide four strategies for the development of the manufacturing industry in different cities.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on “how to create value from collaborative innovation,” which is a core question when companies plan open-innovation initiatives. China’s Huawei Technologies is taken as the main case study, with other companies’ practices as further examples to elaborate and validate a new yet practical model. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on the direct experience over many years of two Huawei technology executives – the very recent head of the technology cooperation department and the current manager of the same unit. Findings This study provides a spiral four-stage model, named SWIM, with each stage being a decision guided by a 2 × 2 matrix. These stages, named scope, weave, identify and modularize, try to balance resource allocation toward a foreseeable value, though it might be long term. Research limitations/implications The research is primarily based on one company. The validity of its recommended model can be tested only after other companies have applied it. Practical implications The research offers a practical framework for how companies can improve their open innovation. Social implications Large companies are important players in innovation networks. Improving the ability of large companies to operate open innovation will help many other companies and the society as a whole. Originality/value The proposed model is original and provides insights from China and is not a traditional source of management innovation. The paper will also help Western readers get a better understanding of management in what will soon be the world’s largest economy.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify and prioritize the positive and negative impacts of tourism on the process of tourism growth at a national scale in Iran, by taking into account the reviews of previous studies, views of experts and structural analysis. Design/methodology/approach In this investigation, structural analysis technique has been used to identify the correlation between variables by using mix method data analysis. By using cross-impact analysis (N × N integer matrix) in the form of the Micmac method, the economic, sociocultural and environmental factors have been evaluated. Findings The results of the distribution of factors in the coordinate axes and the graphs between them indicate their features, and for reaching a sustainable system of tourism development, at first, priority should be given to the negative influential factors, especially the environmental fields, and then the focus should be on the decrease of the dual and risk variables as they cannot be anticipated. Originality/value For the rapid growth of tourism in many countries, governments ensure that policies have been heeded in designing and preparing general plans of the country to understand how the development trend is moving on. In this respect, arisen impacts of tourism system are one of the important issues during the development path and in the field of tourism future. Because of the complexity and broadness of tourism activities, these impacts have also many interconnected dimensions that should also be considered while studying tourism impacts.
