Summary
As the economy moves from factor-driven growth to innovation-driven development, in order to achieve high-efficiency and high-quality development, people realize that only by improving total factor productivity can we achieve sustainable economic growth and continuous improvement of social and people's livelihood and well-being, that is, to achieve the overall leap of social productivity through the exploration and improvement of new quality productivity.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that we must adhere to the principle that science and technology are the primary productive forces, talent is the first resource, and innovation is the first driving force, and thoroughly implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, and the strategy of innovation-driven development, open up new fields and new tracks for development, and constantly shape new momentum and new advantages for development. **During the inspection and investigation in Heilongjiang, the general secretary pointed out that it is necessary to actively cultivate strategic emerging industries such as new energy, new materials, advanced manufacturing, and electronic information, actively cultivate future industries, accelerate the formation of new quality productivity, and enhance new momentum for development. In this article, we will briefly review the rich connotations of this concept in three aspects.
The philosophical connotation of the new quality of productivity
Based on the understanding of the system concept, the "new quality" here corresponds to the meaning of "emergence" in complex systems science, which mainly refers to the characteristics and properties that are not present when each sub-system exists separately in the ecosystem of multiple sub-systems, and the frequent interaction of each sub-system in the overall system produces more complex overall functions. In nature, the activity of ant colonies, flocks of birds, and the movement of neurons in the human brain all reflect this law. Since mankind entered the information age, due to the geometric progression of the number of computers in the global Internet, it has gradually possessed the characteristics of "emergent system". Guided by 4G communication technology, the emergence of mobile Internet and social networking has made the "new quality" characteristics of global network intelligence ubiquitous emerge, and it began to enter the era of digital economy and platform economy around 2008.
The economic connotation of the new quality of productivity
Since the Industrial Revolution, the industrial expansion of the Fordist factory system has relied on the development of productive forces with a large amount of resource input and consumption and high energy consumption on the basis of the primitive accumulation of capital. In terms of factory management and labor organization system, it is represented by the "Taylor system", which not only produces a huge amount of material wealth, but also causes the alienation of wage labor and the problem of low-efficiency and low-quality development of the bureaucracy. As the economy moves from factor-driven growth to innovation-driven development, in order to achieve high-efficiency and high-quality development, people realize that only by improving total factor productivity can we achieve sustainable economic growth and continuous improvement of social and people's livelihood and well-being, that is, to achieve the overall leap of social productivity through the exploration and improvement of new quality productivity. Compared with the productivity of labor- and capital-intensive industries, the new quality productivity requires the application of technologies such as big data, 5G, additive manufacturing and general artificial intelligence, the transformation of traditional production lines with the software and hardware equipment of the industrial Internet and the Internet of Things and the integration of supply and demand information feedback.
The organizational connotation of new quality productivity
The new quality of productive forces also means that a political organization representing the most advanced productive forces plays a strategic leading role. China's development experience over the past 40 years has proved that the party's organizations at all levels play an irreplaceable role as an entrepreneur in the "Schumpeterian innovation sense" in the cultivation of the market, the maintenance and coordination of the first chain. The development of China's information and communication industry has always been carried out under the leadership of the party, from the strategic decision-making of the "big country and heavy weapon" industry to the construction and maintenance of infrastructure, and then to the layout of strategic emerging industries and future industries.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) has successfully transformed the Internet, the largest variable in public affairs governance, into the largest increment, and has a deeper grasp of the internal laws of the digital economy and the development of the platform economy while exploring the creation of a clean cyberspace. With a huge volume of more than 1 billion netizens, marked by the innovation of digital technologies such as mobile payment and live streaming e-commerce and their application scenarios, we have counted, mined and analyzed massive data of information, goods, services and currencies through the ever-changing and iterative computing power system, and gradually created the "new qualitative" characteristics of China's digital economy. Represented by the existing experience and practice of party building in Nanshan non-public enterprises in Shenzhen, many specialized and special new enterprises have gradually realized that the construction of grass-roots party organizations has an important "new quality" role in the stability of the entrepreneurial team, the tackling of the R&D team and the exploration and establishment of a modern corporate governance system, which can be described as the embodiment of "new quality productivity" in organizational modernization.
