Basic Theory of the SP Industry

Abstract

Industries are the sum of social organizations engaged in the production of material goods, social goods and intellectual goods for the purpose of meeting human needs and promoting the comprehensive development of humans. The SP industry is the sum of the activities of providing SP products and SP services to the state, society and the public on the basis of market mechanisms and their related activities. The characteristics of the SP industry can be grasped in terms of the characteristics of the service industry, the cultural industries and the knowledge industry to which it is related. According to the forms of the core SP products and their ways of production, the SP industry may be divided into SP content products, SP service products, SP content-related products, and SP service-related products. The SP industry is driven by three forces: demand, the market (economic interests) and innovation. Management, technology, personnel, production, marketing, resources, information and knowledge are the main elements of the SP industry. In developing the industry, it is important to combine social benefits and economic benefits, promote both public and for-profit SP undertakings, pursue overall progress while implementing targeted measures, and balance government guidance and market regulation.
