Abstract

Modern manufacturing entails disparate technologies that function as whole ‘technology systems’ to produce specified outcomes. These technologies have unique technical attributes, requiring distinctly different policy responses. Despite this, there are concerns that industrial policy initiatives in advanced economies are deficient in their consideration of technology systems. To scrutinize these issues, an evolutionary typology of the technologies constituting technology systems is elucidated and applied across three initiatives—Germany’s Industrie 4.0, the US’ Smart Manufacturing, and the UK’s High-Value Manufacturing. The findings suggest that Industrie 4.0 is more comprehensive in its treatment of technology systems. This is due to the influence of a systems-level policy vision that guides the targeting of specific technologies. This vision is executed through a range of policy instruments and institutions, each fulfilling unique complementary and cumulative roles. The paper offers new insights into the significance of policy vision and its systematic implementation.

制造业的产业政策举措：通过技术系统的演变类型研究跨国干预措施

现代制造业涉及不同的技术，这些技术作为整体 "技术系统 "发挥作用，产生特定的结果。这些技术具有独特的技术属性，需要采取截然不同的政策应对措施。尽管如此，仍有人担心发达经济体的产业政策措施在考虑技术系统方面存在不足。为了仔细研究这些问题，我们对构成技术系统的技术进行了演化分类，并将其应用于德国的工业 4.0、美国的智能制造和英国的高价值制造这三项计划。研究结果表明，工业 4.0 对技术系统的处理更为全面。这是由于系统级政策愿景的影响，该愿景指导着具体技术的目标。这一愿景通过一系列政策工具和机构来实现，每种工具和机构都发挥着独特的互补和累积作用。本文对政策愿景及其系统实施的意义提出了新的见解。
