Abstract: The development of new quality productivity is a critical strategic choice for promoting high-quality development in China. A review of history shows that humanity's three industrial revolutions have witnessed the periodic emergence and prosperity of new quality productivity. This study constructs a "Technology-Institution-Organization" tripartite framework for new quality productivity analysis from the perspective of evolutionary economics, thoroughly examining the creation and innovation-driven development processes of new quality productivity during the past three industrial revolutions, and analyzing the mechanisms of co-evolution among technology, institutions, and organizations. This research suggests that at the core of new quality productivity generation and development during the industrial revolutions is the production, diffusion, and commercial application of knowledge. The co-evolution of technology, institutions, and organizations forms a core driving force, ultimately facilitating the valorization of knowledge, forming new quality productivity, and shaping new drivers of development. By integrating the evolutionary patterns of new quality productivity during the industrial revolutions, and considering current technological and socio-economic forms, it identifies features of current new quality productivity development such as the intersection of technological frontiers, the co-evolution of "proactive government" and "effective markets," ecological organization, and mission orientation. Based on these observations, the study offers policy recommendations for accelerating the development of new quality productivity.

摘要: 发展新质生产力是我国当前推进高质量发展的重要战略选择。回顾历史,人类社会三次工业革命的历史见证了新质生产力的阶段性兴起和繁荣。本研究指出新质生产力的核心是创新驱动发展。基于这一认识,本研究首先回顾了工业革命以来的新质生产力发展演化历史,指出技术、制度、组织在其中扮演着非常重要的作用。再次,从创新经济学的角度指出工业革命中新质生产力生成及发展的核心是知识的生产、扩散及商业化应用。而技术、制度和组织的协同演化形成关键动力,并最终推动实现知识价值化,形成新质生产力,塑造发展新动能。最后,结合工业革命中新质生产力演化规律,以及当下技术和经济社会新形态,指出当前发展的新质生产力具有技术前沿交叉、“有为政府”和“有效市场”协同演化、组织生态化和使命导向的特征,并据此提出加快发展新质生产的政策建议。
