What is the current situation of the Smart Library in China? What does a smart library do? Pray for the great gods.

Think tank, also known as "think tank", refers to a multidisciplinary research institution composed of experts, which provides the best theories, strategies, methods and ideas for decision makers to deal with social, economic, scientific, technological, military and diplomatic issues. According to the definition of Frank Colbault Mo, the founder of Rand Corporation, the world's most famous think tank, a think tank is an "ideological factory", a university without students, a "brainstorming" center with clear goals and firm pursuit, but also a "strategic thinking center" that dares to surpass all existing wisdom, dare to challenge and despise existing authority. Strictly speaking, think tanks are non-governmental organizations independent of government agencies. [Edit this paragraph] The status quo of China think tanks is 1, with independent identity, value neutrality, research specialty and scientific decision-making, which is the foundation of think tanks. On the surface, there are more than 2,000 "think tanks" in China that directly or indirectly serve the government. In the 2008 Global Think Tank Report, only 74 think tanks in China were recognized, while there were 1 777 in the United States. 2, captive scholars, cynical experts and commercial organizations, in the name of "think tank", overdraw the credibility of opinion leaders. However, folk think tanks appeal to real think tanks, but they are struggling in terms of talents, systems, sources of funds and legitimacy. 3. China's decision-making error rate reaches 30%, while that of western developed countries is only about 5%. (Professor Mao, School of Public Administration, Renmin University of China) It is not enough to just discuss public policy issues. The importance of a professional and independent third party, the think tank, is highlighted in the repeated mistakes of the Chinese people. 4. Based on the public demand of policy and public opinion, the realistic demand of multi-interest pattern of market economy, and the future demand of China with the rise of the world, China urgently needs a think tank and a "box of independent thoughts" to provide solutions. There is no real think tank in China. On the surface, there seems to be no shortage of researchers and institutions in China. According to statistics, there are more than 2,500 research institutions in China, with 35,000 full-time researchers and 270,000 staff. Among them, there are 2,000 "think tank" research institutions that focus on policy research and directly or indirectly serve the government. At the beginning of this year, the 2008 Global Think Tank Report released by the University of Pennsylvania in the United States said that there were only 74 think tanks recognized in China, while the figure in the United States was 1777. Mark Leonard, an Englishman, was a think tank of British foreign policy. He once visited the China Academy of Social Sciences. When he learned that the Academy of Social Sciences has 50 research institutes, 260 research laboratories and 4,000 full-time staff, he was completely shocked: the total number of think tanks in Britain is only about 1000, while the total in Europe is less than 5,000. Plus the United States (a paradise for think tanks), there are no more than 65,438+10,000 researchers in western think tanks. China Academy of Social Sciences is just one of the official think tanks in China, along with the Central Party School, Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, policy research offices of governments at all levels and so on. While Leonard was shocked, he was also curious: Why did hundreds of thousands of people do research for government decision-making, but he never knew their research methods and conclusions, and people all over the world were also curious about the behavior of the China government? So he wrote a book: What does China think? "It sells well in the western world. 2,000 China think tanks are not as good as a Rand company. The research depth of think tanks often reflects the thinking depth of a country. Due to the powerful control ability of the government, most of the official think tanks in China are insincere and become the spokesmen of the government: the official think tanks enjoy high funds and the right to speak, but from time to time they provide junk reports with confusing data and illogical conclusions, and obey the Chief Executive. Folk think tanks lack channels, influence and funds, so they are struggling. John Thornton, president of the Brookings Institution, once said that the criteria for measuring a good think tank are quality, independence and influence. But for most China think tanks, independence is beyond our power, and the quality and influence are greatly reduced. " There is no real think tank in China. "A person in charge of an industry association said this. In China, trade associations are semi-official organizations, registered in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, subordinate to official institutions and subject to official instructions. They are organizations between the government and the people, and sometimes undertake projects and research industries, but they are "deformed" in terms of talents, systems and sources of funds. Three Problems of Think Tank in China Some people have summarized three categories of think tanks in China: captive scholars, cynical experts, and commercial organizations, while the corresponding problems are three problems of think tanks in China: too close to the system, low professionalism, and making money. As a result, it seems that there are countless experts and scholars. They hold a lot of funds and projects in their hands, frequently exposed in the media, and participated in various forums, seminars or consultation meetings everywhere, but in fact they are full of unknown addresses, and their influence and credibility have dropped sharply. The newly established China International Economic Exchange Center, the highest think tank in China, is also due to the extreme dissatisfaction of the top management with the existing think tanks, but it still has a strong official color: "only talking about the economy" in advance violates the purpose of the think tank; Executives and directors are all retired senior officials, and the revolving door in China is only half open. When will the international exchange center produce the future prime minister and deputy prime minister? Without strong research strength, the highest think tank can only be empty talk. In this global think tank summit held by the International Communication Center, heavyweight think tank companies like Rand did not participate. "Their tentacles are deeper and more sensitive than we thought. You think it will need such a platform, but it may disdain this forum. "A representative of the organizer said privately. Looking around, China's think tanks are more like "pseudo-think tanks". Yuan Yue, president of Zero Survey Group, even used the word "stupid library". Judging from the research methods, most of the talents in think tanks are educated in colleges and universities. They talk big and keep their mouths shut about the world, but they lack the basic ability to study specific problems. He Jun, chief analyst of Anbang Group, also faces the dilemma of lack of research talents. He even used his brain and jointly established a major like information research with the university. The Future of China Think Tank Many people of insight believe that the final formation and establishment of China Think Tank will be among the people, and folk wisdom and Internet channels may be the decisive factors for the think tank to shine. However, Yuan Yue doesn't think so. He said: "Modern think tanks are collective operations and multi-person division of labor. Now, both official and private think tanks have not got rid of the individual workshop-style model. Qiao Liang, the author of Extreme War, is probably the only China person who exported China's national defense thought to the world. It is said that there is a copy in the Pentagon that his thoughts foresee "9. 1 1". He once cited an example: Before Hong Kong's return to China, Margaret Thatcher said, "You don't have to worry about China at all, because China can't provide the world with any new ideas in the next few decades or even a hundred years. "Margaret Thatcher's statement reveals a meta-proposition of think tanks, that is, think tanks serve the future, 30 years, 50 years, 100 years, rather than clumsily serving the present. At present, our so-called think tanks are basically busy "finding problems and solving problems", and their think tanks are already discussing future problems and their possibilities. At the think tank summit, Ning, the boss of COFCO, won favorable comments from the media: China is far from reaching the national strength of capital export. When will law firms, accounting firms, consulting firms and think tanks go abroad to earn money and China become a big country? And now we all rely on global think tanks to do things. [1] From the Great Wall in Wan Li to the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, thousands of years of splendid Chinese civilization is the best source of wisdom left for us. With the popularization and application of modern scientific knowledge and computer network, we can be liberated from the heavy memory and calculation work. It is necessary for us to concentrate our wisdom and sort out the excellent knowledge of people all over the world. Combine them to create higher intellectual achievements. This requires the support of a professional think tank system. Most of today's wisdom repositories still use traditional methods. Most of the major problems solved by the government are oriented to places where senior professionals gather, such as universities and research institutes. The government encourages professionals to participate in solving national practical problems in the form of government decision-making and scientific research bidding, the establishment of national social science fund and the establishment of advisory committees. However, these traditional ways have not mobilized the enthusiasm of citizens to participate in public affairs in an all-round and multi-level way. It is suggested that the government can publicize the problems in various forms and brainstorm to solve them as an important method to promote the political reform movement. Establish a culture of knowledge sharing and achievement sharing among people who have knowledge and are willing to contribute personal wisdom or opinions, so that the knowledge base and network of contacts can be condensed into a "value-oriented think tank", which will be more effective and leadership!
