The Development of China’s Information Resource Industry: Policy and Instrument

As an emerging strategic industry in China, the information resource industry (IRI) has had and will continue to have a growing impact on economic and social development. Focusing on the special characteristics of IRI policies in China, this book provides an in-depth discussion of the major directions, methods, and paths of development for IRI policies via a comprehensive analysis of the structural, organizational, promotional policies and policy instruments of China’s IRI.
Concentrating on policy instruments, this book, for the first time, provides a systematic, well-rounded review of China’s IRI policies that have been released to date, and proposes a ＂China Information Resource Industry Policy Library＂ comprising six types of IRI policy documents: organizational, information, regulatory, incentives, market, and social. The whole contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the application of various IRI policies in China and also supports the building of industrial policies and the decision-making behind them.
