The informatization of agricultural industry cluster promotes agricultural modernization. However, agricultural industry cluster in China has no real use of modern information technology. It does not form a rational application system and perfect frame structure, and also it has not reached in the true sense of "industrial clusters", further it influences the competitiveness of agricultural regional economy and the individual as a whole. We mainly study the model of agricultural industrial cluster information, combined with the realistic version of the "happy farm", by reference to the network of food pattern, to establish urban modern agriculture Demonstration Park. By SWOT analysis of the construction of the information platform model, we find out that information of agriculture ecological park to solve the main problems, the overall framework of information technology services of public building agricultural cluster model, focus on building the application function module of the realistic version of the "happy farm".

This article examines the geographical effects of industrial clusters on the business survival (BS) of information technology (IT) companies in China. The authors aim to find the differences of BS among inside and outside of the clusters in four different regions by using the methodology of Cox Proportional Hazard Model. The authors find that large sized IT clusters in the Haidian district of Beijing and the Pudong district of Shanghai have higher risks of business withdrawal (BW) than their surrounding areas, whereas the medium-sized cluster in the Nanshan district of Shenzhen and medium-sized IT cluster in the Binjiang district of Hangzhou does not show significant risks compared with their surrounding areas.

We discuss how global production networks interact with local institutions to shape the ways in which economic development occurs within a region; the region concerned being the Suzhou municipality in China. We argue that the development of Suzhou's information-technology industry has largely resulted from (1) the transformation of global production networks in the 1990s, in which Taiwanese firms played an important role; (2) the local states' active role in transforming local institutions to fit the needs of foreign firms; and (3) Taiwanese investors' engagement in mediating and transplanting related institutions into the locality to meet the demand of global logistics for speed and flexibility. All these have resulted in Suzhou municipality's rapid growth in the information-technology industry and its embeddedness in the fusion of the global and local contexts. However, we will also demonstrate that the power asymmetry of global players and local states in this area has resulted in the creation of industrial clusters that are institutionally embedded but technologically delinked from the localities.

National legislation is in place to facilitate reform of the United States health care industry. The Health Care Information Technology and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) offers financial incentives to hospitals, physicians, and individual providers to establish an electronic health record that ultimately will link with the health information technology of other health care systems and providers. The information collected will facilitate patient safety, promote best practice, and track health trends such as smoking and childhood obesity.
