Good strategy, bad tactics?
Is seems the release of new strategies are getting a much higer frequency. Before, in 1995 and 2006 China’s action plans were released. However, to have a good strategy does not necessarily mean it will be performed well.
Update:
The article ‘Focus of IPR strategy to be broadened’ in the China Daily said:
“ The government is expected to widen its focus on intellectual property rights (IPR) from protection-only to creation, utilization and protection of innovation, with the release of its long-awaited strategy.“
“The national strategy on IPR, which aims to safeguard the transition to an innovative nation, has been in the pipeline since January 2005 and has involved 28 agencies within the central government.“
State IPRs part of strategy?
Niu Wenyuan, chief scientist on sustainable development with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, proposed to “have a national procurement system to buy those innovations, which are critical to the nation, but do not have any immediate commercial returns, as well as build an efficient IPR transfer network.“
