武汉市社科院院长樊志宏： 真创新才是产业反“内卷”根本之策

Group 1 - The current phenomenon of "involution" in cutting-edge fields such as photovoltaics, lithium batteries, and new energy vehicles is characterized by competition in a "no man's land," which is not indicative of recession but rather a stage of industrial innovation [1] - The essence of "involution" is a lack of genuine innovation leading to simple repetition under boundary constraints, with supply-side involution resulting in price declines rather than scale expansion when demand reaches its limit [2] - The automotive industry has seen stable annual sales between 80 million and 90 million vehicles, where excessive supply only compresses profits across the entire industry chain [2] Group 2 - Current pseudo-innovation relies on scale expansion to capture existing market share without enlarging the overall market, leading to intergenerational resource depletion that poses future development risks [2] - The core path to counter "involution" involves achieving true innovation and intergenerational equity, which requires breaking boundary limitations through technological breakthroughs and enhancing factor efficiency within existing boundaries [2] - The transition from the industrial era to a multi-dimensional space of virtual and real integration is causing a reconstruction of industrial systems, urban forms, and social structures, with "involution" being a growing pain in this new process [2]
