[1] Later Knyazeva advocated that synergetics will go fora wide application field [2] Today integration concept andsynergetic theory are largely followed in modern manage-ment [3] such as a synergetic model for implementingan environmental management occupational health andsafety management systems [4] Some researchers paid greatattention to the synergy development among the industryscientific innovation energy resources and self-organizationFor example Rofiqul Islam et al Varga and Kuehr studiedthe synergy on the recovery and renewable resources [5 6]di Vita and Elıasson and Turnovsky focused on the synergydevelopment of renewable resources and the technical sub-stitution [7 8] To sum up these studies try to use synergeticsin management research but have yet to be further applied intechnology and economy business andmanagement studies

22 City Marketing City marketing began in the 1930sincluding three stages roughly such as ldquoFragmented Pro-motional Activitiesrdquo ldquoCity Marketing Mixrdquo and ldquoTowardsCity Brandingrdquo [9ndash11] and several academic schools cameinto being on the city marketing For instance in the schoolof political orientation Ashworth and Voogd claimed thatldquoessentially city marketing involves the establishment of aparticular relationship between producers and consumersthat is both close and permanent This in turn necessitatesthe study of both the spatial and organizational structuresof the city as a product as well as the characteristics marketbehavior and needs of the identified users as consumersrdquo [12]

In the school of economics economic development as theultimate goal of city marketing aimed at promoting urbangrowth in wealth [13 14] Specifically Kotler mainly focusedon two aspects between the economy (citizens compa-nies and communities) and society (tourists and investors)analyzed the city marketing customersmdashthe city humanresources such as local residents employees and investorsMeanwhile Brotchie et al scholars focused on city marketingto enhance city competitiveness and to promote the develop-ment of city economy [15] So the city marketing is the meansto achieve a city policy city managers break through thebottleneck of urban development through the use of variousmarketing strategies to enhance competitiveness [16 17]In addition Kavaratzis is interested in the theory of citybrand [18] Zenker et al researched the city marketing citizensatisfaction [19] and so on According to these studies somesubjects attract the attention of the scholars such as theconcept and scope of citymarketing the relationship betweencity marketing and economic development the relationshipbetween city marketing and human resources city brandingand the means and motive of city marketing

23 Human Resources and Economic Development Thereexists a strong connection between economic growth andhuman development [20 21] Importance of human resourcedevelopment can be undeniable irrespective of developedand underdeveloped economies [22] So the ultimate goal ofeconomic progress is the sustainable development of human

beings and talent can effectively promote the developmentof economy The relationship between human resource andeconomic development has been attracted by scholars fromthe perspective of macro What is the relationship of it to thecity Manca and Fleisher et al focus on the human capitaland economic growth on region [23 24] It is worth notingthat Fleisher studied a related question about China andsuggested that talent introduction should be undertaken forthe development of social economy about the city

Fromwhat has been reviewed above the existing researchfocuses on the relationship between human resource andeconomic development but has not been concerned withwhat the coordinated development of both does So thisstudy uses synergetics theory and analyses the synergy degreeof city human resources and city economic developmentto promote the orderly development of both under thebackground of city marketing

3 Model Construction

According to the research synergetics [25 26] the modelshould include the changing of the associated elementsbetween the subsystem of human resource and the subsystemof economic development the order degree of order parame-ter and the important influential factors between subsystems

31 Order Parameters Some indexes of the level of humanresources development have been selected on the orderparameters of the city human resources subsystem suchas quantity of city human resources quality of city humanresources the demand of city human resources and thesupply of city human resources Meanwhile Some indexes ofthe level of city economic development have been found outabout the order parameters of the city economic developmentsubsystem such as the management level of city economicsthe level of city primary industry the level of city secondaryindustry and the level of city tertiary industry Precisequantitative system is shown in Table 1

32 Subsystem Order Degree The composite system is anorganic whole of city human resources and city economicdevelopment within the jurisdiction area of a city In thissystem the subsystem of city human resources and thesubsystem of the city economy interacted with each otherTherefore the composite system on city human resources andeconomic development is expressed as 119904 = 119891(119909

1 1199092) where

1199091represents the subsystem of city human resources 119909

behalf of the subsystem of city economic development and 119891is a composite function

The order parameter of the subsystem of city humanresources and city economic development is 119909

119894119895= (119909

are higher conversely it is the lower The other is negativeindex the order degree is better when the parameter valuesare lower Order degree of order parameter (119909

119894119895119896) can be

defined

119884119894119895(119909119894119895) =

where 119910119894119895(119909119894119895) isin [0 1] its value is greater and its contribution

is higher in systematic order degreeOverall the contribution of order parameter (119910

119894) can be

shown by 119910119894119895(119909119894119895) For using different forms of data it is

necessary to use the linear weighted sum method for dataprocessingThe order degree model of subsystem is followed

119884119894(119909119894) =

119899

sum

119896=1

119908119896119884119894119895(119909119894119895) 119908

119896ge 0

119899

sum

119896=1

119908119896= 1 (2)

33 Index Weight At present common methods includesubjective values and objective method The former hasexpert scoring method and Delphi method the later includeentropy value method the standard deviation method andCRITIC method [27] This study selected CRITIC method toweigh the index

Firstly confirming the effect of indexes

119862119896= 120575119896

119899

sum

119896=1

(1 minus 119903119895119896) 119896 = 1 119899 (3)

Among them 119862119896represents the impact of the index (119896)

on the subsystem 120575119896is half on the standard deviation of

the index (119896) and 119903119895119896

represents the correlation coefficientbetween the index (119895) and the index (119896) The greater the 119862

119896

value the more important it is to the subsystemSecondly confirming the weight of index

119908119896=

119862119896

sum119899

119896=1119862119896

119896 = 1 119899 (4)

where 119908119896is the objective weight of the index (119896) then the

weight coefficient was gained

34 Synergy Degree Model Synergy degree model is suitablefor the quantitative description of the system developmentand is a function of the independent variable of the orderparameter So the function value is the system synergy degree(SD)

The subsystem order degree is 119884119895119894(119909119894) when the system is

at a given initial moment after a period of time or at the next

4 Empirical Study on Chengdu City

41 Sampling and Data Marketing campaigns are greatweapon for city marketing such as the cultural events [28]

sports events [29] theWorld EXPO [30 31] and conferences[32] Through careful planning these one-time and serialmarketing campaigns bristle with innovative themes capableof great effect Not only it is newsworthy but also it is anapplicable standard in the city marketing

In this respect Chengdu has gathered a wealth of experi-ence in its promotion (Table 2) Many marketing campaignshave gotten the attention of tourists and investors such asChina Food and Drinks Fair every year International Foodamp Tour Festival of China every year Fortune Global Forumin 2013 and Olympic Games in 2015 Details are shown inTable 1

In addition correlated data of human resources andeconomic development were collected about Chengdu cityIndex data came from Chengdu statistical yearbook (2002ndash2012) Sichuan statistics yearbook (2002ndash2012) and Chinesecity statistics yearbook (2002ndash2012) The specific data aregiven in Tables 3 and 4 respectively

Thirdly confirming the synergy degree Using the dataTables 5 and 6 the weight and formula (2) the order parame-ter was drawn up Specific data are shown in Tables 7 and 8about an order parameter

Finally using the order parameter and formula (5) thesynergy degree was calculated respectively Specific data areshown in Table 9

Figure 2 Synergy degree of human resources and economicdevelopment of Chengdu

demonstrates that the human resources of Chengdu havebeen developing orderly direction Just it was slowly andhalfway down It is notable that the order degree of subsystemwas decreased in 2008 because of the earthquake Chengduwas mistaken as ldquounsaferdquo city With the policy support ofbrain gain and national disaster relief the order degree pre-sented a tendency of increasing in 2009

Order degree of Chengdu economic development sub-system showed a good upward trend since 2002 but there

been progressing but there were no consistent developmentwhich is affected by the earthquake and aftershocks In 2012the order degree of both Chengdu human resources andChengdu economic progress demonstrated a good upwardtrend Overall human resources and economic developmentof Chengdu are not completely synchronous but it is atthe low-level stage so it is necessary to strengthen the citymarketing strategy for promoting the development of the city

5 Conclusions and Implications

Using the idea and method of synergetics the model ofsynergy degree about city human resources and city eco-nomic development was established and the advance stateof them was evaluated These are a basement of urban-rural integration progress with the human resources policyand economic development strategy At the same time thisstudy has its limitations for example the data are only fromyearbook the research is not coveredwith the social progressand the index has yet to be further perfect

In order to promote synergy and sustainable developmentof human resources and economic development of Chengdu

some work should be carried out by the government Firstlydeepen the talent introduction policy attract a large numberof excellent talents format talent accumulation effect andsafeguard the rights and interests of the people living stan-dards for promoting the sustainable development of humanresources Secondly open the investment policy attract theworld high-tech enterprise make the industry chain andindustrial cluster and create a sound ecological environmentfor investment Finally strengthen the synergy developmentof human resources and economy and promote the commondevelopment of both

[1] Later Knyazeva advocated that synergetics will go fora wide application field [2] Today integration concept andsynergetic theory are largely followed in modern manage-ment [3] such as a synergetic model for implementingan environmental management occupational health andsafety management systems [4] Some researchers paid greatattention to the synergy development among the industryscientific innovation energy resources and self-organizationFor example Rofiqul Islam et al Varga and Kuehr studiedthe synergy on the recovery and renewable resources [5 6]di Vita and Elıasson and Turnovsky focused on the synergydevelopment of renewable resources and the technical sub-stitution [7 8] To sum up these studies try to use synergeticsin management research but have yet to be further applied intechnology and economy business andmanagement studies

22 City Marketing City marketing began in the 1930sincluding three stages roughly such as ldquoFragmented Pro-motional Activitiesrdquo ldquoCity Marketing Mixrdquo and ldquoTowardsCity Brandingrdquo [9ndash11] and several academic schools cameinto being on the city marketing For instance in the schoolof political orientation Ashworth and Voogd claimed thatldquoessentially city marketing involves the establishment of aparticular relationship between producers and consumersthat is both close and permanent This in turn necessitatesthe study of both the spatial and organizational structuresof the city as a product as well as the characteristics marketbehavior and needs of the identified users as consumersrdquo [12]

In the school of economics economic development as theultimate goal of city marketing aimed at promoting urbangrowth in wealth [13 14] Specifically Kotler mainly focusedon two aspects between the economy (citizens compa-nies and communities) and society (tourists and investors)analyzed the city marketing customersmdashthe city humanresources such as local residents employees and investorsMeanwhile Brotchie et al scholars focused on city marketingto enhance city competitiveness and to promote the develop-ment of city economy [15] So the city marketing is the meansto achieve a city policy city managers break through thebottleneck of urban development through the use of variousmarketing strategies to enhance competitiveness [16 17]In addition Kavaratzis is interested in the theory of citybrand [18] Zenker et al researched the city marketing citizensatisfaction [19] and so on According to these studies somesubjects attract the attention of the scholars such as theconcept and scope of citymarketing the relationship betweencity marketing and economic development the relationshipbetween city marketing and human resources city brandingand the means and motive of city marketing

23 Human Resources and Economic Development Thereexists a strong connection between economic growth andhuman development [20 21] Importance of human resourcedevelopment can be undeniable irrespective of developedand underdeveloped economies [22] So the ultimate goal ofeconomic progress is the sustainable development of human

beings and talent can effectively promote the developmentof economy The relationship between human resource andeconomic development has been attracted by scholars fromthe perspective of macro What is the relationship of it to thecity Manca and Fleisher et al focus on the human capitaland economic growth on region [23 24] It is worth notingthat Fleisher studied a related question about China andsuggested that talent introduction should be undertaken forthe development of social economy about the city

Fromwhat has been reviewed above the existing researchfocuses on the relationship between human resource andeconomic development but has not been concerned withwhat the coordinated development of both does So thisstudy uses synergetics theory and analyses the synergy degreeof city human resources and city economic developmentto promote the orderly development of both under thebackground of city marketing

3 Model Construction

According to the research synergetics [25 26] the modelshould include the changing of the associated elementsbetween the subsystem of human resource and the subsystemof economic development the order degree of order parame-ter and the important influential factors between subsystems

31 Order Parameters Some indexes of the level of humanresources development have been selected on the orderparameters of the city human resources subsystem suchas quantity of city human resources quality of city humanresources the demand of city human resources and thesupply of city human resources Meanwhile Some indexes ofthe level of city economic development have been found outabout the order parameters of the city economic developmentsubsystem such as the management level of city economicsthe level of city primary industry the level of city secondaryindustry and the level of city tertiary industry Precisequantitative system is shown in Table 1

32 Subsystem Order Degree The composite system is anorganic whole of city human resources and city economicdevelopment within the jurisdiction area of a city In thissystem the subsystem of city human resources and thesubsystem of the city economy interacted with each otherTherefore the composite system on city human resources andeconomic development is expressed as 119904 = 119891(119909

1 1199092) where

1199091represents the subsystem of city human resources 119909

where 119910119894119895(119909119894119895) isin [0 1] its value is greater and its contribution

is higher in systematic order degreeOverall the contribution of order parameter (119910

119894) can be

shown by 119910119894119895(119909119894119895) For using different forms of data it is

necessary to use the linear weighted sum method for dataprocessingThe order degree model of subsystem is followed

33 Index Weight At present common methods includesubjective values and objective method The former hasexpert scoring method and Delphi method the later includeentropy value method the standard deviation method andCRITIC method [27] This study selected CRITIC method toweigh the index

Firstly confirming the effect of indexes

119899

sum

119896=1

(1 minus 119903119895119896) 119896 = 1 119899 (3)

Among them 119862119896represents the impact of the index (119896)

on the subsystem 120575119896is half on the standard deviation of

the index (119896) and 119903119895119896

represents the correlation coefficientbetween the index (119895) and the index (119896) The greater the 119862

119896

value the more important it is to the subsystemSecondly confirming the weight of index

119908119896=

sum119899

119896=1119862119896

119896 = 1 119899 (4)

where 119908119896is the objective weight of the index (119896) then the

weight coefficient was gained

34 Synergy Degree Model Synergy degree model is suitablefor the quantitative description of the system developmentand is a function of the independent variable of the orderparameter So the function value is the system synergy degree(SD)

The subsystem order degree is 119884119895119894(119909119894) when the system is

at a given initial moment after a period of time or at the next

4 Empirical Study on Chengdu City

41 Sampling and Data Marketing campaigns are greatweapon for city marketing such as the cultural events [28]

sports events [29] theWorld EXPO [30 31] and conferences[32] Through careful planning these one-time and serialmarketing campaigns bristle with innovative themes capableof great effect Not only it is newsworthy but also it is anapplicable standard in the city marketing

In this respect Chengdu has gathered a wealth of experi-ence in its promotion (Table 2) Many marketing campaignshave gotten the attention of tourists and investors such asChina Food and Drinks Fair every year International Foodamp Tour Festival of China every year Fortune Global Forumin 2013 and Olympic Games in 2015 Details are shown inTable 1

In addition correlated data of human resources andeconomic development were collected about Chengdu cityIndex data came from Chengdu statistical yearbook (2002ndash2012) Sichuan statistics yearbook (2002ndash2012) and Chinesecity statistics yearbook (2002ndash2012) The specific data aregiven in Tables 3 and 4 respectively

been progressing but there were no consistent developmentwhich is affected by the earthquake and aftershocks In 2012the order degree of both Chengdu human resources andChengdu economic progress demonstrated a good upwardtrend Overall human resources and economic developmentof Chengdu are not completely synchronous but it is atthe low-level stage so it is necessary to strengthen the citymarketing strategy for promoting the development of the city

5 Conclusions and Implications

Using the idea and method of synergetics the model ofsynergy degree about city human resources and city eco-nomic development was established and the advance stateof them was evaluated These are a basement of urban-rural integration progress with the human resources policyand economic development strategy At the same time thisstudy has its limitations for example the data are only fromyearbook the research is not coveredwith the social progressand the index has yet to be further perfect

In order to promote synergy and sustainable developmentof human resources and economic development of Chengdu

some work should be carried out by the government Firstlydeepen the talent introduction policy attract a large numberof excellent talents format talent accumulation effect andsafeguard the rights and interests of the people living stan-dards for promoting the sustainable development of humanresources Secondly open the investment policy attract theworld high-tech enterprise make the industry chain andindustrial cluster and create a sound ecological environmentfor investment Finally strengthen the synergy developmentof human resources and economy and promote the commondevelopment of both

beings and talent can effectively promote the developmentof economy The relationship between human resource andeconomic development has been attracted by scholars fromthe perspective of macro What is the relationship of it to thecity Manca and Fleisher et al focus on the human capitaland economic growth on region [23 24] It is worth notingthat Fleisher studied a related question about China andsuggested that talent introduction should be undertaken forthe development of social economy about the city

Fromwhat has been reviewed above the existing researchfocuses on the relationship between human resource andeconomic development but has not been concerned withwhat the coordinated development of both does So thisstudy uses synergetics theory and analyses the synergy degreeof city human resources and city economic developmentto promote the orderly development of both under thebackground of city marketing

3 Model Construction

According to the research synergetics [25 26] the modelshould include the changing of the associated elementsbetween the subsystem of human resource and the subsystemof economic development the order degree of order parame-ter and the important influential factors between subsystems

31 Order Parameters Some indexes of the level of humanresources development have been selected on the orderparameters of the city human resources subsystem suchas quantity of city human resources quality of city humanresources the demand of city human resources and thesupply of city human resources Meanwhile Some indexes ofthe level of city economic development have been found outabout the order parameters of the city economic developmentsubsystem such as the management level of city economicsthe level of city primary industry the level of city secondaryindustry and the level of city tertiary industry Precisequantitative system is shown in Table 1

32 Subsystem Order Degree The composite system is anorganic whole of city human resources and city economicdevelopment within the jurisdiction area of a city In thissystem the subsystem of city human resources and thesubsystem of the city economy interacted with each otherTherefore the composite system on city human resources andeconomic development is expressed as 119904 = 119891(119909

1 1199092) where

1199091represents the subsystem of city human resources 119909

behalf of the subsystem of city economic development and 119891is a composite function

The order parameter of the subsystem of city humanresources and city economic development is 119909

4 Empirical Study on Chengdu City

41 Sampling and Data Marketing campaigns are greatweapon for city marketing such as the cultural events [28]

sports events [29] theWorld EXPO [30 31] and conferences[32] Through careful planning these one-time and serialmarketing campaigns bristle with innovative themes capableof great effect Not only it is newsworthy but also it is anapplicable standard in the city marketing

In this respect Chengdu has gathered a wealth of experi-ence in its promotion (Table 2) Many marketing campaignshave gotten the attention of tourists and investors such asChina Food and Drinks Fair every year International Foodamp Tour Festival of China every year Fortune Global Forumin 2013 and Olympic Games in 2015 Details are shown inTable 1

In addition correlated data of human resources andeconomic development were collected about Chengdu cityIndex data came from Chengdu statistical yearbook (2002ndash2012) Sichuan statistics yearbook (2002ndash2012) and Chinesecity statistics yearbook (2002ndash2012) The specific data aregiven in Tables 3 and 4 respectively

been progressing but there were no consistent developmentwhich is affected by the earthquake and aftershocks In 2012the order degree of both Chengdu human resources andChengdu economic progress demonstrated a good upwardtrend Overall human resources and economic developmentof Chengdu are not completely synchronous but it is atthe low-level stage so it is necessary to strengthen the citymarketing strategy for promoting the development of the city

5 Conclusions and Implications

Using the idea and method of synergetics the model ofsynergy degree about city human resources and city eco-nomic development was established and the advance stateof them was evaluated These are a basement of urban-rural integration progress with the human resources policyand economic development strategy At the same time thisstudy has its limitations for example the data are only fromyearbook the research is not coveredwith the social progressand the index has yet to be further perfect

In order to promote synergy and sustainable developmentof human resources and economic development of Chengdu

some work should be carried out by the government Firstlydeepen the talent introduction policy attract a large numberof excellent talents format talent accumulation effect andsafeguard the rights and interests of the people living stan-dards for promoting the sustainable development of humanresources Secondly open the investment policy attract theworld high-tech enterprise make the industry chain andindustrial cluster and create a sound ecological environmentfor investment Finally strengthen the synergy developmentof human resources and economy and promote the commondevelopment of both

4 Empirical Study on Chengdu City

41 Sampling and Data Marketing campaigns are greatweapon for city marketing such as the cultural events [28]

sports events [29] theWorld EXPO [30 31] and conferences[32] Through careful planning these one-time and serialmarketing campaigns bristle with innovative themes capableof great effect Not only it is newsworthy but also it is anapplicable standard in the city marketing

In this respect Chengdu has gathered a wealth of experi-ence in its promotion (Table 2) Many marketing campaignshave gotten the attention of tourists and investors such asChina Food and Drinks Fair every year International Foodamp Tour Festival of China every year Fortune Global Forumin 2013 and Olympic Games in 2015 Details are shown inTable 1

In addition correlated data of human resources andeconomic development were collected about Chengdu cityIndex data came from Chengdu statistical yearbook (2002ndash2012) Sichuan statistics yearbook (2002ndash2012) and Chinesecity statistics yearbook (2002ndash2012) The specific data aregiven in Tables 3 and 4 respectively

been progressing but there were no consistent developmentwhich is affected by the earthquake and aftershocks In 2012the order degree of both Chengdu human resources andChengdu economic progress demonstrated a good upwardtrend Overall human resources and economic developmentof Chengdu are not completely synchronous but it is atthe low-level stage so it is necessary to strengthen the citymarketing strategy for promoting the development of the city

5 Conclusions and Implications

Using the idea and method of synergetics the model ofsynergy degree about city human resources and city eco-nomic development was established and the advance stateof them was evaluated These are a basement of urban-rural integration progress with the human resources policyand economic development strategy At the same time thisstudy has its limitations for example the data are only fromyearbook the research is not coveredwith the social progressand the index has yet to be further perfect

In order to promote synergy and sustainable developmentof human resources and economic development of Chengdu

some work should be carried out by the government Firstlydeepen the talent introduction policy attract a large numberof excellent talents format talent accumulation effect andsafeguard the rights and interests of the people living stan-dards for promoting the sustainable development of humanresources Secondly open the investment policy attract theworld high-tech enterprise make the industry chain andindustrial cluster and create a sound ecological environmentfor investment Finally strengthen the synergy developmentof human resources and economy and promote the commondevelopment of both

4 Empirical Study on Chengdu City

41 Sampling and Data Marketing campaigns are greatweapon for city marketing such as the cultural events [28]

sports events [29] theWorld EXPO [30 31] and conferences[32] Through careful planning these one-time and serialmarketing campaigns bristle with innovative themes capableof great effect Not only it is newsworthy but also it is anapplicable standard in the city marketing

In this respect Chengdu has gathered a wealth of experi-ence in its promotion (Table 2) Many marketing campaignshave gotten the attention of tourists and investors such asChina Food and Drinks Fair every year International Foodamp Tour Festival of China every year Fortune Global Forumin 2013 and Olympic Games in 2015 Details are shown inTable 1

In addition correlated data of human resources andeconomic development were collected about Chengdu cityIndex data came from Chengdu statistical yearbook (2002ndash2012) Sichuan statistics yearbook (2002ndash2012) and Chinesecity statistics yearbook (2002ndash2012) The specific data aregiven in Tables 3 and 4 respectively

Thirdly confirming the synergy degree Using the dataTables 5 and 6 the weight and formula (2) the order parame-ter was drawn up Specific data are shown in Tables 7 and 8about an order parameter

Finally using the order parameter and formula (5) thesynergy degree was calculated respectively Specific data areshown in Table 9

43 Data Analysis Order degree of Chengdu human resour-ces subsystem presented a rising trend since 2002 but therewas a sharp decline in 2006 2008 and 2010 Figure 2

Figure 2 Synergy degree of human resources and economicdevelopment of Chengdu

demonstrates that the human resources of Chengdu havebeen developing orderly direction Just it was slowly andhalfway down It is notable that the order degree of subsystemwas decreased in 2008 because of the earthquake Chengduwas mistaken as ldquounsaferdquo city With the policy support ofbrain gain and national disaster relief the order degree pre-sented a tendency of increasing in 2009

Order degree of Chengdu economic development sub-system showed a good upward trend since 2002 but there

been progressing but there were no consistent developmentwhich is affected by the earthquake and aftershocks In 2012the order degree of both Chengdu human resources andChengdu economic progress demonstrated a good upwardtrend Overall human resources and economic developmentof Chengdu are not completely synchronous but it is atthe low-level stage so it is necessary to strengthen the citymarketing strategy for promoting the development of the city

5 Conclusions and Implications

Using the idea and method of synergetics the model ofsynergy degree about city human resources and city eco-nomic development was established and the advance stateof them was evaluated These are a basement of urban-rural integration progress with the human resources policyand economic development strategy At the same time thisstudy has its limitations for example the data are only fromyearbook the research is not coveredwith the social progressand the index has yet to be further perfect

In order to promote synergy and sustainable developmentof human resources and economic development of Chengdu

some work should be carried out by the government Firstlydeepen the talent introduction policy attract a large numberof excellent talents format talent accumulation effect andsafeguard the rights and interests of the people living stan-dards for promoting the sustainable development of humanresources Secondly open the investment policy attract theworld high-tech enterprise make the industry chain andindustrial cluster and create a sound ecological environmentfor investment Finally strengthen the synergy developmentof human resources and economy and promote the commondevelopment of both

Thirdly confirming the synergy degree Using the dataTables 5 and 6 the weight and formula (2) the order parame-ter was drawn up Specific data are shown in Tables 7 and 8about an order parameter

Finally using the order parameter and formula (5) thesynergy degree was calculated respectively Specific data areshown in Table 9

demonstrates that the human resources of Chengdu havebeen developing orderly direction Just it was slowly andhalfway down It is notable that the order degree of subsystemwas decreased in 2008 because of the earthquake Chengduwas mistaken as ldquounsaferdquo city With the policy support ofbrain gain and national disaster relief the order degree pre-sented a tendency of increasing in 2009

Order degree of Chengdu economic development sub-system showed a good upward trend since 2002 but there

been progressing but there were no consistent developmentwhich is affected by the earthquake and aftershocks In 2012the order degree of both Chengdu human resources andChengdu economic progress demonstrated a good upwardtrend Overall human resources and economic developmentof Chengdu are not completely synchronous but it is atthe low-level stage so it is necessary to strengthen the citymarketing strategy for promoting the development of the city

5 Conclusions and Implications

Using the idea and method of synergetics the model ofsynergy degree about city human resources and city eco-nomic development was established and the advance stateof them was evaluated These are a basement of urban-rural integration progress with the human resources policyand economic development strategy At the same time thisstudy has its limitations for example the data are only fromyearbook the research is not coveredwith the social progressand the index has yet to be further perfect

In order to promote synergy and sustainable developmentof human resources and economic development of Chengdu

some work should be carried out by the government Firstlydeepen the talent introduction policy attract a large numberof excellent talents format talent accumulation effect andsafeguard the rights and interests of the people living stan-dards for promoting the sustainable development of humanresources Secondly open the investment policy attract theworld high-tech enterprise make the industry chain andindustrial cluster and create a sound ecological environmentfor investment Finally strengthen the synergy developmentof human resources and economy and promote the commondevelopment of both

5 Conclusions and Implications

Using the idea and method of synergetics the model ofsynergy degree about city human resources and city eco-nomic development was established and the advance stateof them was evaluated These are a basement of urban-rural integration progress with the human resources policyand economic development strategy At the same time thisstudy has its limitations for example the data are only fromyearbook the research is not coveredwith the social progressand the index has yet to be further perfect

In order to promote synergy and sustainable developmentof human resources and economic development of Chengdu

some work should be carried out by the government Firstlydeepen the talent introduction policy attract a large numberof excellent talents format talent accumulation effect andsafeguard the rights and interests of the people living stan-dards for promoting the sustainable development of humanresources Secondly open the investment policy attract theworld high-tech enterprise make the industry chain andindustrial cluster and create a sound ecological environmentfor investment Finally strengthen the synergy developmentof human resources and economy and promote the commondevelopment of both

been progressing but there were no consistent developmentwhich is affected by the earthquake and aftershocks In 2012the order degree of both Chengdu human resources andChengdu economic progress demonstrated a good upwardtrend Overall human resources and economic developmentof Chengdu are not completely synchronous but it is atthe low-level stage so it is necessary to strengthen the citymarketing strategy for promoting the development of the city

5 Conclusions and Implications

Using the idea and method of synergetics the model ofsynergy degree about city human resources and city eco-nomic development was established and the advance stateof them was evaluated These are a basement of urban-rural integration progress with the human resources policyand economic development strategy At the same time thisstudy has its limitations for example the data are only fromyearbook the research is not coveredwith the social progressand the index has yet to be further perfect

In order to promote synergy and sustainable developmentof human resources and economic development of Chengdu

some work should be carried out by the government Firstlydeepen the talent introduction policy attract a large numberof excellent talents format talent accumulation effect andsafeguard the rights and interests of the people living stan-dards for promoting the sustainable development of humanresources Secondly open the investment policy attract theworld high-tech enterprise make the industry chain andindustrial cluster and create a sound ecological environmentfor investment Finally strengthen the synergy developmentof human resources and economy and promote the commondevelopment of both
