At present,the transformation and upgrading of China’s furniture industry is facing pressure,innovation-driven,design-led transformation and upgrading from China’s manufacturing to China’s creation is the only way,but also a new engine to drive development.Based on the theory of national innovation system,collaborative innovation theory and triple helix theory,combined with the knowledge in the fields of design,economics and management,this paper studies the relationship between local industry associations and furniture design innovation and its promoting role from an interdisciplinary perspective,and creatively puts forward the mechanism of local industry associations to promote furniture design innovation.Through the coupling analysis of local industry association and furniture design innovation,it is determined that local industry association can provide the impetus and incubation carrier for furniture design innovation,and jointly promote the spiral rise of regional economy.Based on this,relying on the 50 industrial bases identified by the China Furniture Association is divided into 4 levels,the status quo of 11 local industry associations in promoting furniture design innovation is selected for analysis,and the organizational structure and development history of a provincial,municipal and district-level industry association is selected for analysis,and the existing problems of local industry associations in promoting furniture design innovation are summarized.Finally,the national innovation theory system is used to analyze the components of local industry associations to promote furniture design innovation.It summarizes seven innovation subjects(government departments,furniture enterprises,colleges and universities,industry media,research institutions,designer groups,testing institutions),six innovation activities(design policy,design manufacturing,design education,design communication,design support,design promotion)and three innovation environments(market environment,policy environment,cultural environment).It provides theoretical basis and practical source for the mechanism research of local trade associations promoting furniture design innovation.Based on the analysis of existing problems and components,this paper puts forward the strategy of promoting furniture design innovation by local trade associations.Local industry associations can achieve efficient and stable operation by optimizing their internal elements.On this basis,in order to better perform their functions,local industry associations provide innovative entities in the industry with the path to realize furniture design innovation,that is,provide design testing services for the whole industry chain,strengthen international exchanges and cooperation with the help of exhibition platforms,and provide services such as industry standards and intellectual property rights.Help enterprises and other innovative subjects realize that relying on the local industry association platform can not only strengthen trade exchanges and cooperation,but also obtain design resources and understand the development trend of the industry,so as to improve their own development.Finally,the Shenzhen Furniture Industry Association is selected as a typical case to sort out its current mechanism operation status,and on this basis,the mechanism of local industry associations to promote furniture design innovation is constructed,its advantages are summarized,its shortcomings are made up,and the direction and choice are proposed for local industry associations to promote furniture design innovation.Construct a mechanism for local industry associations to promote furniture design innovation composed of exhibition operation mechanism,multi-subject cooperation mechanism,multi-talent training mechanism and innovative service mechanism,clarify the internal logic behind its operation,and guide the development of local industry associations and improve the innovation ability of furniture design in the industry.The exhibition operation mechanism realizes diversified integration and supply chain sharing through planning a series of activities,improves the design criticism system,and builds a design education platform for innovative subjects;The multi-subject cooperation mechanism is mainly to complement resources through the cooperation of innovative subjects,promote the commercial landing of furniture products,help design thinking to integrate with international design,and enhance the innovation ability of the furniture industry;Multi-talent training mechanism through the intermediary of local industry associations to carry out industry-university-research cooperation and hold furniture design competitions to find new design forces and cultivate innovative talents for the industry;Innovation service mechanism Through local industry associations to build and improve the international exchange and cooperation platform,intellectual property platform,design and research and development service platform and deepen the group standards and product testing system for innovation entities to carry out innovation activities effective support,so that they can play a better role.The synergy of these mechanisms can complement and collaborate with each other,promote resource sharing,achieve complementary advantages,promote innovative development,improve comprehensive competitiveness,form synergy,and achieve win-win goals. |
