The industrialization of information resources has been a growing
trend across the world in recent years, especially in China, where
the information resource industry (IRI) has expanded exponentially
for over more than a decade. While analysing the development
conditions of China's IRI, this book clearly defines the
implications and strategic value of the industry, summarizes basic
IRI theories, and clarifies the history of its development and
special regional characteristics within the Chinese context.
Drawing on the statistics and measurement of various economic
indicators of IRI, the authors propose four stages of development:
a germination period; an initial development period; a subsequent
rapid development period; and lastly, a steady development period.
At the same time, the book draws upon various theoretical models
such as the "Dynamic Resource Triangle" model, the "Information
Resource Industrial Symbiosis" model, the value chain model and the
explanation model of information consumption in order to shed light
on IRI's elements and the optimization of its management. In
addition, the authors present the Information Resource Industry
Development Index (IRIDI) to evaluate IRI's development in
different provinces and cities across Mainland China and monitor
its dynamics from the point of view of industrial value and the
external environment. While the book lays a solid theoretical
foundation for the growth of China's IRI, it will also give
international readers a clear picture of China's emerging
industries in the current era. As an emerging strategic industry in
China, the information resource industry (IRI) has had and will
continue to have a growing impact on economic and social
development. Focusing on the special characteristics of IRI
policies in China, this book provides an in-depth discussion of the
major directions, methods, and paths of development for IRI
policies via a comprehensive analysis of the structural,
organizational, promotional policies and policy instruments of
China's IRI. Concentrating on policy instruments, the book, for the
first time, provides a systematic, all-rounded review of China's
IRI policies that have been released to date, and proposes a "China
Information Resource Industry Policy Library" comprising six types
of IRI policy documents: organizational, information, regulatory,
incentives, market, and social. The whole contributes to a
comprehensive understanding of the application of various IRI
policies in China, and also supports the decision making behind and
building of industrial policies.
