Social & Idea Plasmas from Social & Idea Fusions — Replicating Silicon Valley in China Using 45 Models of Innovation

Abstract

China is establishing new industrial pars ata rate greater than ever seen before in history. China is also revisiting extant industrial parks to upgrade their performance and increase their innovativity. China is also washing over both new and established such parks, a sequence of upgrades to basic urban and technical infrastructures. Study of failed replications of Silicon Valley dynamics in industrial parks in Europe and the USA are being used by China's leadership to design and install robust edge-of-field measure of what they judge to be the key forces that push ordinary industrial concentrations into FUSION states — where ideas, technologies, people, funds, and ventures flow till all good ones find homes that love them. The formula that is emerging, from a series of interviews conducted bia Skype across China in 2011, is — pulsed systems, tech infrastructure upgrade rhythms, social-idea density, radical outsourced agile venture forms, measures for impact of tactics on: social index levels, flow rates, density of interaction, and finally decade-long steady defense technology demand. Parks are to be managed towards Social-Idea Fusion points, where Social-Idea Plasma states lead to radically intense, fast, dense flows that spawn globally competitive venture and technology formation rates. Finally, each of 45 models of innovation are being measured and designed into new parks, then balances among them tweaked to optimize density of idea and person measures. This paper reports the leading edge practices of the leading park founders and managers to date. These constitute an emerging new model of techno-park structure, functioning, and goal.
