The new technological revolution has brought a huge industrial technology group and a wide variety of new products in the world. Every country has its own advantages and disadvantages in the new technological revolution. In order to develop themselves faster, all countries must develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and actively participate in the international division of labor and cooperation in the field of production, so as to save their own social labor and obtain better benefits.
At present, cars running in expressway, various electronic counters on public dining tables and many electrical appliances in residents' homes are marked as made in the United States, Germany and Japan, but many of them are made in other countries. For example, the next passenger plane that BOJIAN will launch will be designed in Washington and Japan and assembled in Seattle. The tail rectifier will come from Canada, the tail part will be produced in Italy and the engine will be made in Britain.
Another example is a pocket calculator made in Japan. Its microprocessor chip comes from America and its shell is made in India. Some parts are purchased from Korea, assembled in Singapore, Indonesia or Algeria, then labeled as "Made in Japan" and finally sold all over the world.
For another example, the world-famous "Nike" sports shoes have an annual output of 90 million pairs, and more than 100 kinds of new products and styles are introduced every year. However, more than 7,800 employees of the American "Nike" company are only responsible for design, factory selection, production and sales, but the production is completed by more than 40 factories scattered around the world.
Robert Reich, the former US Secretary of Labor, said in the book "The Task of the State": "When Americans bought a Pontiac Lerman car from General Motors for $6.5438+0 million, of which $3,000 was paid to the Korean assembler, $ 654.38+0.750 was paid to the Japanese parts manufacturer, $700 was paid to the West German designer, and $400 was used to buy parts from Taiwan Province and Singapore.
Second, the internationalization of the market.
Modern economic activities based on the new technological revolution are not only huge in scale, but also extremely fast in development. With the deepening contradiction between domestic production and consumption, products and markets, capital and iron supply and demand, more and more enterprises in China have broken through the geographical boundaries of countries and regions, seeking the best allocation of production factors and a broader market on a global scale. It is worth noting that not only developed countries compete in the global market, but also developing countries regard export-oriented economy as an important strategic measure for their own economic development in order to occupy a place in the international market, which makes the foreign trade of various countries account for an increasing proportion in the gross national product.
According to the relevant statistics of the United Nations, the proportion of total world exports to the global gross national product was 1 1.4% in 1980, 14. 1% in/kloc-0.
Not only the production and sales market of enterprises is internationalized, but also people's daily consumption tends to be globalized. Take VISA as an example. 199 1 year, 654.38+87 million people in the world have this card, and 6.5 million stores in dozens of countries (regions) accept this card as the transaction currency, with a daily transaction volume of 570 million US dollars. VISA card is just one of many credit cards, which really means "one card in hand, traveling all over the world".
Third, the internationalization of funds.
The new scientific and technological revolution has led to the rise of a series of emerging enterprises and the transformation and renewal of some traditional industries. The adjustment of industrial structure in the international scope will inevitably require large-scale transnational capital flow in various countries, forming capital internationalization.
The development of multinational corporations has greatly promoted the globalization of the world economy. According to relevant statistics of the United Nations, 1970 has 7,000 trans companies worldwide, 1995 has more than 37,000, and * * * has more than 200,000 overseas subsidiaries, covering more than 60 countries and regions. The largest multinational companies, such as General Motors, have annual sales of about $200 billion, which is equivalent to the sum of the annual gross national products of Denmark, Norway, Greece and Portugal.
It is reported that the daily average turnover of the world foreign exchange market in 1992 was 1 trillion dollars. In the same year, the total foreign exchange reserves of the world's top ten banks were $555.6 billion, and the daily turnover was almost 1 times of the total reserves. The annual turnover of London and eurodollar market alone is at least 25 times that of the world trade.
Fourth, the internationalization of scientific and technological development and application.
Due to the wide range of new industrial technology groups produced by the new scientific and technological revolution, high investment and high risks in scientific and technological development, it has become impossible for individual countries to completely monopolize new technologies. In order to share the fruits of the new technological revolution to the greatest extent, we must take the internationalization road of scientific and technological development and application.
According to the statistics of the United Nations, the total world technology trade was $3 billion in the 1960s, $654.38+02 billion in the 1970s and $50 billion in the 1980s, doubling every five years on average.
Fifth, the internationalization of information dissemination.
John Naisbitt, an American scholar, said, "Two inventions that have played an important role in transforming our planet into a' global economic village' are jets and communication satellites. Among them, communication satellites may be the most important invention. " The advent of the electronic age is changing the face of transportation and communication by leaps and bounds, shortening the distance between people. The new technology brought by the new technology revolution makes the global economic information spread faster and faster, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.
1993 September 15, the Clinton administration of the United States announced that the United States will implement a national information network construction plan that will "permanently change the way Americans live, work and communicate with each other", that is, the "Information expressway" plan. "Information expressway" has not only brought great potential benefits to the United States, but also is expected to make people truly realize that "a scholar can see what's going on in the world and know what's going on in the world" and the earth has really become a "small village". From the characteristics of market economy, opening to the outside world and developing foreign economic relations are the inherent requirements of China.
