RESEARCH ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NATIONAL WAR, ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF WORK PRESSURE -- TAKING HANGZHOU CENTRAL AIRCRAFT FACTORY AS AN EXAMPLE

Abstract Background In February 1934, Nanjing municipal government signed a contract with the representatives of Shanghai aircraft manufacturing company composed of American CODIS and Douglas airlines to introduce American technology and establish Hangzhou central aircraft manufacturing plant north of Hangzhou Jianqiao aviation school airport. China Hangzhou factory is a joint stock limited company established by China and the United States, but the management organization is established and controlled by the United States. Most managers and technicians are Americans. Its working pressure can be imagined. Subjects and Methods Using the method of historical review, this study analyzed the working background and conditions of Chinese manufacturing personnel at that time, analyzed their anxiety and depression at that time, and on this basis, they operated in the mode of American military industry, trained Chinese workers and apprentices, and assembled, maintained and manufactured aircraft. In about eight years, the company has repaired, assembled and manufactured nearly 600 aircraft, the largest number compared with other aircraft manufacturers. In the context of the Anti Japanese War, it experienced two migrations, the first to Wuhan, Hubei, the second to Leiyun, Yunnan, and finally disintegrated in the war. Its fate is closely related to the Anti Japanese War, which also determines that its production purpose is to serve China's Anti Japanese war. In order to win the war, they endured great work pressure and unprecedented depression. Many people suffered from mental disorders. According to incomplete statistics, at that time, nearly 2000 people suffered from mental diseases to varying degrees. Results In the tide of national unity and resistance against Japan, under the guidance of the Aviation Commission, China Hangzhou factory contacted the local government, relied on the strength of the factory, explored the development path, and produced high-quality aircraft, which once created enterprise prosperity. The Chinese air force sent the aircraft made by AVIC into the blue sky, fought with the Japanese army, turned Changhong into Bi, and won world praise for the combat aircraft carrier made by the air force and AVIC. At that time, the foundation of the aviation industry was weak, there was a shortage of funds and technical talents. Conclusion The Chinese government adopts the form of joint venture to introduce production technology, and uses talents from China and the United States to repair and manufacture aircraft. This is an effective way to rapidly promote the development of China's military aviation industry and provides the material basis and technical talents for the Chinese Air Force's Anti Japanese war. However, the power of China's Hangzhou factory was shelved. On the one hand, this is due to China's lack of technology, equipment and talents. On the other hand, it is caused by “power politics” and “weak country diplomacy”. However, these can not erase the achievements of China's aviation industry and its contribution to the war of resistance against Japan. At the same time, it reminds us that we should pay more attention to the mental health of aerospace personnel, especially actively cultivate, encourage and promote Aerospace spirit, especially pay attention to the role of emotional labor spirit; At the same time, we should pay more attention to the cultivation of innovation and entrepreneurship. It is necessary to actively cultivate and encourage entrepreneurship in infrastructure construction, rule of law construction, platform construction and service provision. Aerospace enterprises should make full use of government policies, rely on government services, cultivate and carry forward the spirit of innovation based on the market environment, improve the vitality and quality of innovation, and improve the construction productivity. We should be fully aware of the important position of the emotional elements of aerospace workers in their work, actively promote their role psychological competence, pay special attention to their own life attitude and healthy behavior, and be a healthy self-manager, coordinator and collaborator. The social stratum should actively organize rich activities flexibly according to the psychological characteristics of this part of the group, strive to build a relaxed and harmonious living atmosphere, create friendly and mutual aid emotional family relations, encourage and guide this part of the group, adjust their psychology to the best state, and promote the healthy development of their good cognition and life.

Managing Innovation Paradox in the Sustainable Innovation Ecosystem: A Case Study of Ambidextrous Capability in a Focal Firm

To achieve sustainable development, focal firms should balance two paradoxical kinds of innovation activities: exploitative and exploratory ones. Published works found that ambidexterity is an effective way to resolve paradoxical tensions, but few in-depth studies have been conducted to explore the innovation paradox of focal firms in the innovation ecosystem from an ambidextrous capability perspective. This paper takes China Spacesat Co., Ltd. as the case to study focal firms’ management of innovation paradoxes in the sustainable innovation ecosystem and finds that: (1) Sustainable innovation is an ecosystem in which focal firms’ internal functional departments, including the product department, technical center, and Makers’ groups, cooperate with external organizations, including component suppliers, scientific research institutes, and government departments, closely and complementarily; (2) In the exploitative and exploratory innovations of complex products, focal firms in the sustainable innovation ecosystem mainly confront three paradoxes: profit drive vs. breakthroughs in the strategic intent of sustainable innovation of the profit-driven model, tight vs. loose coupling of sustainable innovation, and sustainable innovation driven by discipline vs. that by passion; (3) Focal firms in the innovation ecosystem resolve these three innovation paradoxes with structural, contextual, and coordinated ambidextrous capabilities, and build innovation paradox management mechanisms with three steps in sequence, namely by establishing dual sustainable strategic innovation units, strengthening sustainable organizational ties between the internal and external, while co-creating and sharing innovation values, and, finally, promoting the formation and development of their sustainable innovation ecosystem. This paper complements and enriches the innovation ecosystem and ambidextrous capability theory, providing significant practical guidance to the sustainable development of aerospace enterprises.

A Single Information Space for aerospace enterprises based on a Service Oriented Architecture

Nowadays aerospace enterprises have a variety of Information Systems (IS) and Software Complexes (SC). Their strategic aim is to integrate all IS and SC, thus to create the Single Information Space (SIS). An approach to create the SIS based on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) concept at aerospace enterprises is suggested. It was shown that different tools to implement this approach are available. The SOA model of the SIS of the typical enterprise, which has a custom set of services, IS and SC, was developed. Two modifications of this SOA model are proposed. The first modification is suitable for creation of the SIS on enterprises which have Business Intelligence (BI) systems based on Data Warehouse (DW). Another modification of the SOA-based SIS is important for those enterprises which require to process at least the part of technological and manufacturing data in a real-time mode.

Creation of collision data base through the “bottom-up” approach

The present epoch of knowledge economy, research and innovation poses unpredictable challenges for high-tech enterprises in aerospace industry. Knowledge and technology have mostly become the key source of creating competitive advantage. However production of successful aerospace products and service is impossible without collisions. The aim of the paper is to elaborate a bottom-up approach that allows reducing collisions by setting up a database of collisions (CDB) that occurs in the life cycle process. The introduced definition of “collision” determines any breach in the implementation process, leading to a deviation in product quality. The classification of collision types is given and the stages of collision management system in aerospace enterprises are described. By means of Risk Priority Numbers (RPN) method the authors have proposed to evaluate the significance of probable production collisions. According to conclusions of the analysis, collision database allows to accumulate, formalize and store invaluable experience of skilled practitioners, especially in unique production process. Other research outcome deals with the understanding that collision database allows detecting business processes where collision occurrence is not always obvious.
