Synergistic development of the culture, sports, and tourism industries is an emerging trend in China, providing new formats for industrial evolution and fresh momentum for industrial upgrading. Therefore, building a robust framework to evaluate the synergistic development is relevant to China’s economic and social development. This study used a coupling coordination model to calculate the coupling coordination degree of the three industries, for 31 provinces in China from 2013 to 2017. Subsequently, it employed spatial autocorrelation techniques and GeoDetector to identify factors affecting the synergistic development from global and local perspectives before discussing the driving mechanisms. The results showed that (1) the synergistic development of the three industries was generally stable with a slight imbalance. (2) The development level varied across regions. The general spatial pattern was low in northeastern and western China, stable and average in the central region, and high in the eastern region. (3) The synergistic development has a prominent “proximity dependence” effect reflected by a notable spatial agglomeration feature and positive spatial autocorrelation trend and (4) twenty-one indicators of six driving factors (industrial pulling force, population supporting force, consumer purchasing power, transportation pushing force, resource attraction force, and economic driving force) affected the synergistic development.

This study empirically explores the formation of interregional cultural barriers that affect spatial spillovers within the framework of institutional distance based on evidence of regional industrial evolution in China. With dialect as the proxy of culture, this study finds that, first, regional cultural differences will hinder the spatial spillovers of industrial evolution, but the formation of cultural barriers is not only related to culture itself but also closely related to the formal institutional distance between regions. Second, when there is inter‐regional formal institutional distance, formal institutions are insufficient to shape the economic order, and cultural factors with the attributes of informal institutions will become an alternative arrangement to regulate inter‐regional interaction through trust and information mechanisms. The construction of mutual trust based on cultural affinity can reduce the uncertainty of inter‐regional interactions. However, this trust mechanism is regulated by formal institutions and will be significantly weakened with the reduction in formal institutional distance. In addition, information diffusion is easier in regions of cultural homogeneity. However, this information mechanism is often confined to a small social network, and it tends to be weaker as economic society becomes increasingly open and complex.

The subject of the article is a study of the formation, development and implementation of Fintech technologies in the context of ideologies of sustainable development and innovation DeFi (Decentralized Finance) [6], caused by the intensification of large-scale digital economy and global digitalization of all spheres of production and services. blockchain and prospects for the spread of the Internet of Things (IoT) in combination with artificial intelligence (AI). Results of work. Features of chronology and joint course of epochs of industrial evolution together with stages of development of the financial technologies based on a combination and integration of so-called, drivers of "Fintech for sustainable development" (FT4SD) are designated and characterized. The toolbox of FT4SD is shown to be a triad of blockchain, AI and IoT, which together provide a synergistic effect of "decentralized finance", creating a virtually unlimited investment resource for technological innovation in the digital economy within the processes of sustainable development. Conclusions. Despite the difficult economic and epidemiological situation in the world in general and in Ukraine in particular, it has been shown that the ideology of "decentralized finance" has had and will have a positive result.

Traditional economic theories often neglect evolutionary aspects and thus offer sterile answers to essential questions grounded in economic reality, such as the dependence of industrial structure on technological progress, evolution of the cooperation/competition within or among industries, or evolutionary stability of cooperation networks. We present a conceptual model of industrial evolution based on agent-based modelling and cellular automata. In evolutionary simulation, the least fitted firms are repeatedly forced to adapt to the changing environment by partial mutations of their profiles. Following self-organised criticality, even a small change in an industrial profile can cause massive waves of firm restructuring causing new spatial patterns. In the long term, new industrial profiles emerge, and firms become self-organised in spatial clusters evolving towards Zipf’s rank-size distribution. The proposed model is able to appropriately explain the long-term evolution of industrial economic structures in both time and space.

The purpose of this work is to propose a conceptual framework that fulfills the function of articulating the processes of firm growth and the evolution of industrial structures, against the backdrop of endogenous technical progress. This objective will be pursued through the inspiration of Steindl's analysis with the incorporation of some analytical components of the neo-Schumpeterian microeconomics, namely: (i) the characterization of the company as an entity that operates based on operational routines and develops capabilities, and (ii) the determinants of decisions to innovate based on technological evolution regularities. A finalidade deste trabalho é de propor um quadro conceitual que cumpra a função de articular os processos de crescimento da firma e evolução das estruturas industriais, tendo como pano de fundo o progresso técnico endógeno. Esse objetivo será comprido através da inspiração da análise de Steindl com a incorporação de alguns componentes analíticos da microeconomia neoschumpeteriana, quais sejam: (i) a caracterização da empresa como uma entidade que opera com base em rotinas operacionais e desenvolve capacitações, e (ii) os determinantes das decisões de inovar com base em regularidades da evolução tecnológica.

Urban agglomeration research has received increasing attention in China’s national development strategies, and has become a hot topic in academic research. This study develops a theoretical framework that explores the formation mechanism and expansion process of urban agglomerations from the perspective of industrial evolution, and identifies the development issues and their causes by taking Yangtze Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomerations as case studies. In the process of urban agglomeration formation within a free market, as has happened in Yangtze Delta region, the central city develops first, its secondary industry is then transferred to its neighboring cities, and the work division and cooperation with the neighboring cities is gradually established. However, in the 1990s, aiming to become an international metropolis, Beijing implemented a series of administrative policies to encourage the reduction of the secondary industry and the development of the tertiary industry, before its secondary industry were fully developed and transferred to its neighboring cities. This delayed the integration process and the development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration. This study builds a good foundation for the construction of the theoretical system’s urban agglomeration study, and provides references for decision making in an urban agglomeration development.

This dissertation studies the effect of scientific discoveries, regulation, and changes in market access on the American and Japanese brewing industries over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Breweries adapted to these shocks by switching to new technologies, products, and geographical markets. In the long run, this adaptation process shaped the structure of the brewing industry and introduced competition and new production techniques in the soft-drink and biotechnology industries. Using detailed data at the brewery-level, coupled with natural experiments, I study the repercussions of this adaptation mechanism across industries and over time.In the first chapter, I study how private trade costs affect the relocation of industries in response to market integration. I focus on the relocation of the American brewing industry during the late nineteenth century, when migration and the expansion of the American railroad network reduced the costs of reaching consumers troughout the US. Using a brewery-level database that I constructed, I show that the endogenous adoption of bottling --a private reduction in marginal trade costs that required the payment of a one-time cost-- amplified the effect of market integration on the relocation of the brewing industry from the East Coast to the Midwest of the United States.In the second chapter, I study whether early exposure to demand reductions improves the performance of firms during future demand shocks. I focus on the American brewing industry during prohibition in the early twentieth century. Some breweries faced early reductions in demand when nearby counties introduced prohibition at the local level. Other breweries were insulated from local prohibitions until the start of federal prohibition, when the entire US prohibited the production and distribution of alcoholic drinks. I follow 1,300 breweries throughout both local and federal prohibitions, using firm-level data that I collected. Breweries that faced early reductions in demand were 12\% more likely to survive the full prohibition period, from before local prohibition until the end of federal prohibition, than breweries that did not face early reductions in demand. This increase in survival occurred because a group of breweries made early investments in machinery that later facilitated product switching into soda and other foodstuffs.The third chapter is coauthored with Michael Darby and Lynne Zucker. Scientists affiliated to Japanese breweries authored 81\% of the academic articles produced by breweries all over the world between 2000 and 2005 --50 percentage points more than twenty years earlier. Most of this increase in academic production occurred between 1986 and 1996, when the number of published articles affiliated to Japanese breweries increased sixfold. We show that this increase in academic production is the result of product diversification towards the pharmaceutical and biochemical sectors in which collaboration with academic scientists is common. Product diversification was possibly driven by reductions of barriers to entry in the Japanese market for beer. Diversification and innovation became persistent over time because the new sectors were intensive in knowledge that was tacit and therefore excludable.

So here paper review on Industrial revolution with Impact of Industrial mathematics and Materials and How Industrial mathematics and materials develop Smart industries to meet customer need for an uncertain business environment future.

From the perspective of the study of biological metaphor analysis, this article intends to explore a "high-quality" regional economic development path that fits the context of the economic transition period. This article first introduces the definition of biological metaphors in evolutionary economics. Second, analyzed the inherent logic of the biological metaphor of technological innovation and industrial evolution, and found that the concept of green development must be integrated into the technological innovation process of individual enterprises at the current stage in order to achieve the transformation and upgrading of the current industrial structure. Third, taking Jiangxi Province as an example, the theoretical framework of biological metaphors for creating a beautiful "Jiangxi model" in China was discussed, and the current state of industrial evolution, technological innovation, and environmental regulation in Jiangxi Province from 2011 to 2017 were described in detail. The rationality of the theoretical framework for the analysis of biological metaphors to create a beautiful Jiangxi model in China, that is, it is suitable for the needs of industrial development in Jiangxi Province. Finally, corresponding policy recommendations are given based on the relevant conclusions.

A long stream of research has shown that the educational prestige of organizational members has a largely positive effect on organizational outcomes. We integrate the literatures on educational credentials, signaling theory, and industrial evolution to show that the benefits of educational prestige for firm survival may vary over different stages of industry development. When customers cannot evaluate the quality of a firm’s offerings directly, educational prestige signals that the firm can produce high-quality outputs. We predict that the signaling benefits of educational prestige will be highest during industry inception when evaluation uncertainty is highest. These benefits will diminish during the subsequent period of legitimation with decreasing evaluation uncertainty, but may increase again during the late-stage competition with increasing evaluation uncertainty. We extend this logic to new firms and firms with a new class of offerings. We find empirical support for our predictions from historical accounts and event-history analyses of all law firms in the Silicon Valley corporate legal market, 1928–1998.

Entrepreneurship education holds great value for all students of science, technology, mission work, social work, healthcare, and education. It also serves as a great incubator for the types of creative, innovative ideas of our students and the global needs in the 21st century where combining entrepreneurship syllabus and exposure of the fourth industrial revolution is essential. This study explores the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) as an opportunity to change models of innovation-driven entrepreneurship for the better, and create an environment that makes entrepreneurship more inclusive, while maximizing the Fourth Industrial Revolution’s benefits to the society and minimizing the risks that come with it. The role of Malaysian government in enhancing entrepreneurial education must therefore recognize the fourth industrial evolution and its impacts that must be compatible with Malaysia’s industry policy. Promotion of entrepreneurial experimentation within an appropriate entrepreneurial education ecosystem will provide entrepreneurs with smart government support that invests in entrepreneurial skills in Malaysia. This article assesses (i) fourth industrial revolution impact on entrepreneurial education; (ii) new expectations arising from impacts of fourth industrial evolution in Malaysia: method in teaching and learning; (iii) government’s role in supporting entrepreneurship education and finally (iv) entrepreneurial education reforms in Malaysia.

The fast development of interactive technologies has impacted the field of Cultural Heritage by enriching museums, sites and exhibitions. As for Cultural Heritage, Industrial Heritage can also benefit from new technologies in order to create interactive experiences and advance the understanding and dissemination of industrial evolution. The thermal power plant of Aramon at the South of France has stopped its electricity production and will be dismantled. This site is rich in industrial heritage and cultural significance. A 3D model of the site as well as virtual tours would make possible, on the one hand, to create resources for educational purposes in order to introduce the public to energy production sites and, on the other hand, to keep the memory of the region's Industrial Heritage.

La révolution industrielle, dans toute l’Europe, a entrainé le développement de villes et de villages entiers, a changé des destins et a accentué la multi-culturalité des territoires. L’origine de ces activités minières et industrielles est plus ou moins lointaine, mais toutes ont été confrontées à un déclin récent, voire à une disparition totale et brutale, notamment en Europe centrale et orientale. En effet, dans une Europe en reconfiguration d’un point de vue énergétique et écologique, mais aussi géopolitique, ce type d’exploitation ne peut se maintenir sans une concentration importante de force de travail et des investissements massifs dans la technologie et les infrastructures. Tout cela ne peut être mis en œuvre que dans un contexte économique favorable. En Roumanie, les villes et villages industriels et miniers créés par les entreprises, puis par le pouvoir communiste sont d’excellents témoignages des interactions entre l’économie, le social et le politique. Construits rapidement, ces villes et villages sont principalement le résultat d’une planification systématique, en réponse à des objectifs de rendement industriel et comme meilleur vecteur d’assurer l’hégémonie de la classe dirigeante. Cet article désire ainsi faite le point sur la genèse de ces villes et villages-usines/mines en Roumanie et sur leurs situations actuelles. All over Europe, the industrial revolution have led to the development of cities and towns, changed destinies and accentuated the multicultural nature of the territories. The origins of mining and industrial activities are more or less distant, but all of them have faced a recent decline, or even a complete disappearance, especially in Central and Eastern Europe. Indeed, in a Europe in reconfiguration from an energetically, ecological and a geopolitical point of view, this type of exploitation cannot be maintained without a significant concentration of labor force and massive investments in technology and infrastructure. All this can only be implemented in a favorable economic context. In Romania, the industrial mining towns and villages created by companies and the communist power, are excellent testimonies of the interaction between economy, social and political power. Built quickly, these towns and villages are mainly the result of systematic planning, in response to industrial performance objectives. This article wishes to point out the genesis of these mining/factory-towns and mining/factory-villages in Romania and their current situations.

In recent decades, modular design has been fully developed due to its important role in the current industrial evolution. The numerous advantages offered by its application to product design has made companies from different sectors opt for its use to solve particular needs. Many authors have studied modular design from a theoretical viewpoint, but it is necessary to learn about its application by studying real cases that allow us to understand what the object of its application is, the different methods used to obtain modular products and the results obtained in each case. Accordingly, we can know modular design’s most characteristic features and benefits, the business of its application, what its evolution has been, and what path it is currently on as part of the current industrial evolution. To do this, a case study research is carried out, which is divided into two parts. The first consists of a bibliographic review that focused on the main authors who studied modular design and documented real cases of its application, especially at the beginning of modular design in industry. The second focused on investigating the current cases that have not been previously documented, which shows how modular design is currently applied and how it evolves.

This article shows the importance of Circular Economy today and how it should be implemented in companies in the city of Quito to build a radical change in our economic system and our environment. The last 150 years of industrial evolution have been dominated by a linear production and consumption model, where products / goods are produced from raw materials, then sold, used and finallydisposed of as waste. Faced with the current global economy and the increase in evidence pointing to the growing scarcity and overexploitation of resources, the need arose to search for a new economic model (business). The circular economy presents a radical change to achieve a sustainable economy for society, prioritizing the care and use of resources, reducing the environmental impact that we generate. Finally, the current situation of the Ecuadorian industry is analyzed, which seeks to change from a linear model to a circular model, trying to minimize risks, costs and environmental impacts. El presente artículo muestra la importancia de la Economía Circular en la actualidad y como esta se debe implementar en las empresas de la ciudad de Quito para construir un cambio radical en nuestro sistema económico y en nuestro medioambiente. Los últimos 150 años de evolución industrial han estado dominados por un modelo de producción y consumo lineal, en donde los productos/bienes son producidos a partir de materias primas, después son vendidos, utilizados y finalmente desechados como residuos. Frente a la actual economía global y el aumento de evidencias que apuntan a la creciente escasez y sobreexplotación de recursos, nace la necesidad de la búsqueda de un nuevo modelo económico (negocio). La economía circular presenta un cambio radical para lograr una economía sustentable para la sociedad, priorizando el cuidado y el uso de recursos, reduciendo el impacto ambiental que generamos. Finalmente se analiza la situación actual de la industria ecuatoriana las cuales buscan cambiar de un modelo lineal a un modelo circular, procurando minimizar riesgos, costos e impacto ambientales.

With the rapid advent of e-commerce in China, the technological innovation of third-party payment has experienced explosive growth. This important technological innovation, initiated by emerging Internet companies, is helping the traditional financial industry's payment business—represented by commercial banks—expand in both depth and breadth. Meanwhile, there is also a large degree of substitution, competition and crowding out among these banks in terms of the traditional financial industry's basic payment and settlement functions, potential customers, deposit and loan services and traditional intermediary business. This paper explores the impact (episodic and long-term steady-state) of the technological innovation of payment on commercial banks. It also considers the impact of technological innovation on industrial evolution to clarify whether technological innovation offsets the advantages of traditional industries or promotes industrial development. This study adopts the Vector Auto-Regression (VAR) impulse response model to analyze the impact of Internet Third-Party Payment (TPP) on the traditional financial industry from 2007 to 2014. The empirical results suggest that in China, third-party payments have had a significant positive correlation with the value creation capabilities of traditional financial industries, and that this relationship tends to remain in a steady state in the long term. Based on these findings, this paper confirms that the technological innovation of methods of payment in emerging economies, such as China, has promoted the development of the financial industry and accelerated the process of industrial evolution. We conclude the paper with feasible policy suggestions.

The recession and revitalization of old industrial cities concerns urban industrial evolution and its characteristics. Based on the theory of evolutionary resilience, we developed an analytical framework for the industrial structure evolution of old industrial cities, and applied the framework to a case study in Shenyang. The following conclusions are drawn. First, since 1978, Shenyang’s industrial growth capacity has shown fluctuation between ‘contraction-expansion’. As the secondary industry has a much stronger expansionary and contractionary capacity for growth, this results in lacking stability leading to industrial structure transformation. Second, since 1999, the orientation towards a high-end manufacturing industry in Shenyang has weakened, and the evolution of the new and old growth path is characterized by low-end orientation. Third, since 2007, Shenyang’s industrial innovation output capacity has dropped sharply which has been significantly affected by scientific and technological personnel and enterprise-owed science and technology institutions and to a less extent by R&D expenditure. We applied the resilience theory to study the industrial evolution of an old industrial city, explored new study perspectives on industrial evolution and verified the applicability of the resilience theory. This paper provides a scientific reference for understanding the recent deceleration in economic growth in the Northeast old industrial base, and for exploring new paths toward revitalization.
