安侯建业联合会计师事务所(KPMG)针对650多位科技业主管的调查显示,几乎一半的受测者都预料,美国加州硅谷将在2016年失去在科技业主导的地位。他们最看好中国将让加州相形失色,有将近30%的受测者预测,全球创新中心将东移。
KMPG欧洲科技部门主管都铎.欧(Tudor Aw)说,中国「已经营造出一种环境,鼓励研发突破现有技术的科技,我们真的不能再忽视即将发生的事」。
这些结论确实反映出中国及印度的野心。他们希望提升自己在科技食物链上的地位,而不只是苹果等西方企业的制造中心。
即使中国与印度经济实力日益强大,硅谷之前也曾击退来犯敌人,最值得一提的就是1980年代Sony等日本电子公司意气风发的时候。有些人认为快速成长的经济体,不会构成威胁。因为他们认为,这些经济体将发现很难复制美国自由市场与政府鼓励混合带来的效果,而这正是硅谷40年来引领风骚的原因。
这项调查或许也让部分英国人士感到灰心。这些人希望在英国创建科技产业链,与硅谷匹敌。但调查显示,仅1%的受测者认为英国将成为下一个全球科技创新中心。
近30%的受测科技业主管预期,新的突破性创新或突破性技术将来自行动科技,这是iPad等装置成功的关键。与此同时,这份调查发现,对于隐私与个人及企业资料安全的顾虑,将成为新科技商业化应用的最大障碍。
KPMG the Jianye joint accounting firm (KPMG) for more than 650 science and technology industry executive survey shows that almost half of the subjects are expected to lose the leading position in the technology industry, Silicon Valley, California, USA in 2016. Their most optimistic will allow California to pale in comparison, nearly 30% of the subjects were forecast, the global innovation center will be the eastward shift.
The KMPG European director of Tudor. Europe (Tudor Aw) said that China "has been to create an environment to encourage R & D breakthroughs in science and technology of the existing technology, we really can not neglect going to happen".
These conclusions do reflect the ambitions of China and India. They want to upgrade their position in the technology food chain, not just Apple and other Western companies manufacturing center.
Even if the economic strength of China and India are increasingly powerful, the Silicon Valley before also repel the invading enemy, the most worth mentioning is Sony and other Japanese electronics companies in the 1980s, high-spirited. Some people think that fast-growing economies, will not pose a threat. Because they believed that these economies will find it difficult to copy the American free market and the Government to encourage mixed effect, which is to the leading players in Silicon Valley 40 years.
The survey may also allow part of the British people feel discouraged. These people created in the UK technology industry chain, and the Silicon Valley rival. However, the survey shows that only 1% of the subjects who believe that Britain will become a global innovation center.
Nearly 30% of the subject technology industry executives expect that a new breakthrough innovation or breakthrough technology from the mobile technology, which is the key to the success of the iPad, and other devices. At the same time, the survey found that the concerns of privacy and personal and corporate information security, will become the biggest obstacle to commercial application of new technology.
