High-tech companies as the fulcrum of the new U.S. economy created by the wealth effect, has attracted worldwide attention. The rapid rise of the "Silicon Valley", the Boston Route 128, Triangle Park, North Carolina, represented by Hi-Tech Park, has become the "real economy" and "virtual economy" intersection. If the high-tech and high-tech companies huge profits is the depth of the economic structure adjustment of the trigger incentives, then what is the development of high-tech enterprises key to it?
As a well-known American business people, Career Strategy and Business Development Vice President James recently participated in Shanghai, "China LED Lighting Forum" will be accepted Science and Technology Daily reporters, his perspective of American corporate executives, about the high-tech understanding and knowledge of enterprise development.
Highly innovative talent together to cultivate the soil
To California's "Silicon Valley", Massachusetts "Boston Route 128" high-tech industries such as the area has been regarded as the U.S. semiconductor and electronics industry center. "I have to explore the industry and now many people think that California has advantages for development is unparalleled." As North Carolina, "Research Triangle Park," executives within high-tech enterprises, science and technology park in the United States when talking about James commented Road.
"California has 50 to 60 years of economic history now, California has become more and more wealthy people, there has emerged a large number of venture capital." James said, "is more important is that Californians are willing to take the money to the market for venture capital. "
In fact, in the "Silicon Valley" and other places, high-tech enterprise invested by the high rate of return generated once for a long time in the U.S. stock market boom, especially in the 1990s, U.S. economic growth has played an important stimulus role. In James's view, "Silicon Valley" has been developed to maintain the advantage, mainly due to high degree of concentration of talent in California. "In California, there are two world famous universities, namely University of California at Berkeley and Stanford University, both of which transport a large number of people each year, especially in the laser, nuclear technology, physics and semiconductor close related to high-end industry. "James said," talent, capital advantage is unique in California. "
Not difficult to find, and lots of talent, university research, national military orders and venture capital is very active, these are precisely the rapid rise of the U.S. science and technology park is important similarities. In these functional areas, the first to Stanford, Berkeley and California Polytechnic University and other world famous as the basis, the founder of micro-tech company, after several years of development, many have grown into the world top 500 enterprises. For example, from the "Silicon Valley" out of Cisco, Intel, HP, Apple, Google, and so on.
You can see, the 1990s, these universities in the world famous "root" to the science and technology park, "sprout", to the capital markets "growth" of the high-tech enterprise, has become an important engine of U.S. economic activity. Career as such a U.S. high-tech enterprise, its Chairman and CEO told reporters that the investigation 克史沃博达 on, LED lighting, energy efficient lighting is the future direction of industrial development, the university contains the development of new industries to promote inexhaustible power. "We are very willing to promote enterprise LED semiconductor lighting project and university cooperation."
Demand to support research and development to create forward-looking
As a new generation of LED light source, is considered to be this century's most promising high-tech areas. Career where James was first used by six young Americans in the 1980s, initiated the establishment in North Carolina, and now, Cree's LED lighting products have been the world's different countries, regions accepted by the market. According to statistics, in the past year, the American Career worldwide revenues of more than $ 1.1 billion. In 2010, Guangdong has also established a Career in North America outside of the first chip production base. What, then, is what prompted the U.S. high-tech enterprise which these results it achieved?
James believes that the high-tech enterprises in the start-up period, government support is very important. "Career start the first eight years, the company's main source of income is 'government contracts' every year from the 'government contracts' income can reach 2 to 4 million U.S. dollars, which was an important income payments Career." James told reporters.
James seems that government departments to support high-tech enterprise, respect for the "demand-driven" principle is in line with market logic. "Career is not for government subsidies, but for 'government contracts' bid to write the book, the submission of proposals, the respondent, in strict bidding, the ultimate goal is to rely on the company's strength and technique to win 'government contracts'." In the initial stage of business development, forward-looking government with a market demand for Cree's R & D investment continued to provide a lot of money. "In the 1991-1994 time period in which we get a large number of 'government contracts', which makes us more focused on the reform of conditional LED technology." James said, "It is very necessary because in the early 1990s time, LED is mainly blue, and the LED light is very weak when the industry and even a joke: 'If you want to clearly see the LED light, have to put doors and windows closed, in complete darkness Next, we can see a little bit weak blue '. "
"It was probably in 1993 or so, things have a turn for the better. Career joint Japan Nichia, jointly developed a white LED." James said, "We added a special fluorescent material, make the LED can send a very clear, clean white light . This is what we are seeing the light in the LED lighting system, this technology is a very big breakthrough. "
Work together to win Germany's Volkswagen technology capital
Domestic analysts have recently pointed out that "P" in the United States sovereign credit rating downgrade of paper statements, touch the world "virtual economy", triggered national stock market volatility. It now appears that the "skin trauma" would hurt the "bones" in particular, unknown, but the long term, high-tech enterprises seem universal scale changes should be regarded as a practical indicator of the economic cycle screening.
The mid-1990s, a time when the U.S. economic upturn, through government orders, joint research and development, technological breakthroughs ... ... Career and gradually completed its large-scale prelude. "By 1995, when the size of Career still very small, and did not complete a wide range of business process." James told reporters, "In 1996, when we have achieved great success. Career obtained from the German Volkswagen a great order. "
"In 1996, Volkswagen plans to give his car a new image of the product line design, especially for its main rival BMW." James said, "was installed on the BMW bumper red lights has become a major highlights whenever a bright red car suddenly eye-catching bright, decorated with jewelry in general effect. "
"Mass effect of the pursuit of automotive products, began to contact technology providers everywhere, while a blue light-emitting Career lighting technology executives eventually won public recognition." James said, "The cooperation with Germany's Volkswagen, is Career a milestone leap in 1996 to obtain public order after the German side soon found Cree's too small to meet the requirements of mass production. "
Ultimately, the technology won the capital. In order to solve the problem of mass production, Germany decided to quickly inject Career to greatly enhance Career capacity. "At the time the money received Career Career in the year to help increase production capacity quickly to meet Germany's needs." James said, "This is a Career Since the establishment of a major leap forward, accelerate the company's business the process. "
"The U.S. government is a purely commercial thinking"
James In an interview with Technology Daily reporters, repeatedly stressed Career extremely independent entrepreneurial spirit and corporate culture, technology roadmap has not been subjected to outside influence, "If a company has won government support for change, this approach is very stupid. "he said," companies can not be led. "
"99% of high-tech companies will fail." James said, "The U.S. government is a purely commercial thinking, that is a commercial activity sponsored enterprises, to help high-tech enterprises must have a return, so 99% of high-tech enterprises will not get government investment. "
James said, more or less high-tech business development strategy will be subject to a number of policy implications. "For example, the company issued in conjunction with the government's industrial policy, to analyze the industry's prospects, in order to adjust the company's future direction; another example, we should always pay attention to new government policies, the need for timely research companies and government cooperation can take advantage of the policy; Another one, is the company to learn how the integration of new government policies, and achieve win-win situation, to the 'Government contracts' to bring more return.
