The Integration of the"Four Chains"Empowers the New Quality Productive Forces—Internal Logic and Practical Path
New quality productive forces are contemporary advanced productive forces born out of revolutionary breakthroughs in technology,innovative allocation of production factors,and profound transformation and upgrading of industries.These forces are characterized by a qualitative change in laborers,means of labor,objects of labor,and their optimized combinations,with the enhancement of total factor productivity serving as the core indicator.In contrast to traditional productive forces,new quality productive forces are based on strategic emerging industries and future industries.They require the integration of scientific and technological innovation resources,reflecting the role of innovation as an endogenous driving force in the development of new quality productive forces.This study elucidates the intrinsic logic of the formation of new quality productive forces through the integration of the industry chain,innovation chain,talent chain,and education chain,collectively referred to as the"four chains."The integration of the industry chain and innovation chain involves deploying the innovation chain around the industry chain and laying out the industry chain around the innovation chain,with the objective of driving the industry chain's upgrading through the innovation chain.The integration of the industry chain and talent chain is a mutually reinforcing process,with the industry chain driving the talent chain and the talent chain supporting the industry chain,thereby establishing a talent resource foundation for the new quality productive forces.The integration of the industry chain and education chain is derived from the convergence of industry and education,which facilitates a close integration of talent training and knowledge transformation.The convergence of the innovation chain,talent chain,and education chain can generate synergistic effects and complementary advantages.From the perspective of the"four chains,"it can be described as a process of deep integration of the education chain,innovation chain,and talent chain with the industry chain,centered on strategic emerging industries and future industries.This study proposes corresponding practical countermeasures.At the industrial level,it is necessary to reinforce the construction of strategic emerging industries and future industries,enhance the capacity of vocational education to serve industrial development,and strengthen talent support for the advancement of leading industries.At the level of scientific and technological innovation,it is crucial to achieve key technological breakthroughs in response to major national strategic needs,expand the national strategic scientific and technological strength to enhance the capacity for innovation,and build a system for transforming scientific and technological achievements to accelerate their industrialization process.At the talent level,it is of utmost importance to cultivate national strategic talent,deepen the reform of talent development systems and mechanisms,and improve talent education and training models.At the educational level,it is necessary to establish a development pattern of industry-education integration,facilitate two-way communication between industry and education supply and demand,and enhance the capacity of education to serve the development of productive forces.
