Industrial alliance refers to a cooperation mode in which related enterprises and related institutions cooperate with each other and integrate resources in order to ensure the market advantages of all partners, seek new scale, standards, functions or positioning, and deal with competitors with the same competitors or push their business into new fields.
Alliance is the product of marketization, which is established for a specific goal, such as * * * developing a certain technology. The alliance is not restricted by regions, and its members can cross regions or even cross countries. The same industry in the same region may also produce multiple alliances. Alliance has many legal forms, and the governance mechanisms of various organizations are also different. From the perspective of duration, the alliance will face dissolution or transformation after the goal is achieved.
Industrial alliance is a new organizational form introduced from abroad in recent years, which is different from domestic associations. Associations in China are relatively common, and most of them are composed of the same type of institutions in a certain industry, while industrial alliances are mainly composed of cross-institutional members of a certain industrial chain.
The association is a social organization approved by the state and registered in the civil affairs department, which is composed of enterprises and R&D units. Many associations in our country were transformed from institutions in the past. The fundamental task of the association is to count industry information and enterprise operation, communicate with the government on behalf of enterprises, reflect enterprise requirements and safeguard enterprise rights and interests. Different from the alliance, the establishment of the association does not set specific goals, but only sets the general goal of "promoting industry development". Trade associations are restricted by regions, and an association is established in a region-level industry.
In 2009, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions and the China Development Bank jointly issued the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Construction of Strategic Alliances for Industrial Technological Innovation (the document can be found on the website of the Ministry of Science and Technology), proposing to encourage the creation of industrial alliances for technological innovation.
China Agricultural Health Industry Alliance should be similar to this strategic alliance of technological innovation, and be centralized by the Ministry of Science and Technology. However, the state has no specific legal provisions on this kind of industrial alliance organization, nor does it require registration, let alone which department to register. Therefore, the current industrial alliance organizations are all affiliated to domestic first-level associations (these first-level associations are generally registered in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and they are closely related to a government ministry, and most of them are led by a big leader when he is about to retire, mainly because the leader wants to find a position for himself after retirement), so the industrial alliance should belong to the second-level community organizations, and the relationship with government departments is not so close, but it must also be related to government departments.
