Government should increase the intensity on the productivity promotion centers and engineering technology center, make them play a leading role in R&D to improve their ability and level of service.
Meanwhile, industry association, private associations and civil society organizations can play an active role on the R&D services of private technology enterprises.
For instance, industry associations and other civil society organizations also work in the integration of corporate autonomy enterprise resources, synergy, instead of Management and coordination functions the government cann't implement.
