Abstract

This paper discusses how governments make policies under the circumstances with high uncertainties through interactions. By using content analysis of three macro government policy making processes in internet of things (IOT) industry in China, we have obtained the following results. Firstly, the macro government policy making process is composed of several incremental issues and stages in which micro-level policies are formed based on the interactions to affect the behavior of industry sectors directly. Secondly, there are five approaches of interactions among various hierarchies of governments and between governments and industry sectors in China. Interaction approaches used by interactive leaders vary with their administration positions or natures of macro policies. Thirdly, the regularities of interactions vary with the different natures of macro policies. These findings elaborate the perspective by reference to how different actor categories interact with each other to promote decision information clearer and suggest theoretical and empirical basis for policy makers to build policy making system based on interactions for the development of emerging industries.
