总编罗光源同志最近见到我,得知我近半年多来都在特区,便约我就包装业在特区发展的特点写些材料。据我的观察与思考,总的印象是特区人对问题的思考具有新颖、务实、趋前的特点。包装及其企业发展亦是如此。从重视模仿到看重独创在工、商业发达的特区已经走过依靠模仿开发企业新产品,尤其是仿制国外先进产品的历史阶段。仿制中高档国外产品对于一些收入不高的消费者曾经极具吸引力,亦是企业获得较快发展的捷径。但从我国企业长远发展看,单纯模仿的战略并不可取。它可能导致企业丧失创新和开拓的精神。严重些说,企业只是靠投机 Comrade Luo Guangyuan, the chief editor, recently met with me and learned that I have been in the SAR for more than half a year. I have written about some of the characteristics of the packaging industry in the development of the SAR. According to my observations and reflections, the general impression is that the SAR’s thinking on issues is novel, pragmatic, and progressive. The same is true of packaging and its business development. From the emphasis on imitation to the value of originality in the industrial and commercial development of the special zone has already come through the imitation of the development of new products, especially the imitation of foreign advanced products in the historical stage. The imitation of middle-to-high-end foreign products has been very attractive to some consumers with low income, and it is also a shortcut for enterprises to obtain faster development. However, from the perspective of long-term development of Chinese enterprises, the strategy of simple imitation is not desirable. It may lead to a loss of innovation and pioneering spirit. Seriously, companies only rely on speculation
