Our threshold for enterprises to enter international markets, to help leverage technology, which is to enhance the competitiveness of the most effective way. Improve the added value of products to enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises.

Leading Enterprise Technology Progress

Science and technology are primary productive forces, embodied in science and technology to promote economic development in the irreplaceable role. In the surging tide of market economy, with growing competition in the market for, backward techniques, inefficient productivity, low value added of products, without any competitive edge, their living space smaller, Zui Zhong Hui submerged in a market economy the tide.In such a situation, the scientific and technological innovation is a powerful enterprise invincible weapon. Shoes enterprises can take advantage of high tech: nanotechnology, laser technology, automation technology, rapid prototyping technology, fiber technology and so on. Shoe should study and use of these technologies, focusing on high end shoe research, advanced footwear technology, research and development to improve China’s shoes from the comfort start, upgrade products, improve the Chinese shoes to participate in world competition. Shoe should also attach importance to product design and innovation, attention to the technological transformation of enterprises, the footwear industry by relying on the traditional scientific and technological progress and modern management to arm the Chinese footwear industry to create our own core technology and enhance China’s shoes core competencies and enhance China’s position in the international market shoes to lead the shoe technology forward.

Need Government Support Enterprise Innovation

Shoe technology innovation process can not do without government support. In recent years, the government provides businesses with a range of support measures to increase the company’s efforts to support scientific and technological innovation is focused on one. Countries in science and technology project, loan discount policy, the development potential of Chinese enterprises tilt, to enhance its development potential.

The Introduction of Technological Innovation for Business Professionals

Talent is the implementation of the most important factor in technological innovation. Today’s market competition is no longer simply rely on brand value and fight to support. But on the technical content of the brand, personality characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of quality, consumer satisfaction and a combination of factors such as integrity contest. The need for technological innovation that technology professionals and technology workers.Improve enterprise innovation ability is the primary task of training and human capacity to establish a scientific personnel innovation incentives. Enterprises to introduce or develop a variety of ways and create a keen sense of innovation, knowledge of technology, and management, professionalism and strong technology management expert personnel; to create a strong market development capabilities of marketing talent. Secondly, digestion and absorption of imported technology should be based on secondary development to enhance self development and innovation capacity to do a good job cutting edge research in important key technologies to drive innovative research and application technology development; and the vigorous development of a self production technology and intellectual property rights have higher value added brands, new products enter the market as a powerful weapon.

Therefore, according to its own conditions to select the various research institutions. Secondly, to scientific research and the production management closely. Shoe flower great marriage of financial and material resources and scientific research institutions, if because of mismanagement, causing the two sides out of line, research results do not apply to production up. Wasted IT resources.
