The Party and the government attach great importance to the important role of trade associations in promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: "Straighten out the management system of Party building in trade associations, societies and chambers of commerce.". Strengthen the Party building of new economic organizations, new social organizations and new employment groups. For a long time, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the organization system of the National Cement Industry Association has been providing industry consultation for governments at all levels, assisting competent departments in industry management, serving cement enterprises, reflecting industry demands, promoting energy conservation and emission reduction, and scientific and technological innovation; It has played an active role in fulfilling social responsibilities, strengthening industry integrity and self-discipline, and maintaining fair competition in the market. It has become a participant in promoting the governance system and governance capacity of the cement industry, maintaining a dynamic balance between supply and demand, and creating a good market business environment. It is an important driving force and organizational guarantee for promoting the high-quality development of the cement industry. With the advancement of supply-side structural reform in the new era, the National Cement Industry Association will play an increasingly important role.
1. Definition and orientation
of the National Cement Industry Association The National Cement Industry Association referred to in this article mainly refers to the working system composed of China Cement Association, provincial cement associations (including building materials associations without independent cement associations) and regional cement industry self-discipline coordination groups. The National Cement Industry Association is a big family. With the historical evolution, the same business, the same goal and the interests, the members of the big family depend on each other, share weal and woe, and work together for win-win cooperation.
From the perspective of the Party's organizational relations, the Circular issued by the Organizational Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Measures for the Adjustment of the Management System of Party Building Work after the Separation of National Trade Associations and Chambers of Commerce from Administrative Organs (No.16 of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China) stipulates that "the National Trade Associations and Chambers of Commerce originally managed by the State-owned Assets Commission of the State Council shall be established." The SASAC Party Committee of the State Council may lead the Party committees of the trade federations (associations) among them, and the Party committees of the trade federations (associations) shall be specifically responsible for the Party building work of the trade associations and chambers of commerce managed by them. The organizational relationship of the Party of China Cement Association is subordinate to the Party Committee of China Building Materials Federation, which naturally belongs to its leadership.
From the perspective of association management, China Cement Association is a national trade association, and its members are distributed and active in the whole country. It is also a member and vice president unit of China Building Materials Association, so it is subject to the management and guidance of China Building Materials Association, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The provincial cement (building materials) association is a local trade association, which is under the management of the provincial civil affairs department, and its member distribution and activity area are the administrative region. All parties have the legal personality of independent associations, but their work and business have their own emphasis, coordinate with each other, complement each other and complement each other's advantages.
From the perspective of member management, the provincial cement (building materials) associations voluntarily join the China Cement Association as executive directors (group members), and form a relationship of leadership and being led, guidance and being guided in accordance with the Constitution of the China Cement Association.
From the perspective of the community of industry destiny, the regional market integrity self-discipline organization (Pan-Northeast Office, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Northwest, Southwest, Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta Market Coordination Group) is an office jointly established by China Cement Association, provincial associations and large enterprises in the territory. It naturally accepts the work deployment and business guidance of the organization system of the National Cement Industry Association.
According to the above analysis, the orientation and relationship among the members of the National Cement Industry Association are clear and logical. The mission of history and the future of the industry are on the body of China Cement Association. The members of the National Cement Industry Association should consciously strengthen the construction, improve the service ability, accept the work leadership and business guidance of China Cement Association, complete the specific work entrusted, and timely report the annual work summary and plan, as well as various important activities and major issues. Over the years, China Cement Association has been actively cultivating and supporting the construction and development of the organization system of the National Cement Industry Association, and incorporating the standardization construction of the organization system of the National Cement Industry Association into the overall development plan of the industry.
At present, building materials industry associations (federations) have been established in all 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). There are 19 provincial-level cement associations (independent legal persons), of which 5 provincial-level building materials associations (Liaoning, Henan, Jiangsu, Fujian and Xinjiang) have special committees or branches of cement, and 8 provinces and cities (Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Hainan, Fujian, Gansu, Qinghai and Xizang) have cement business undertaken by building materials associations. Among the provincial associations, 16 were established before 2000 and 15 were established after 2000. As of 2020, all associations have gone through the procedures of decoupling from the government.
China Cement Association was founded in 1987. The provincial-level cement industry associations were established earlier in Shanghai (1985), Zhejiang (1985), Chongqing (1985), Beijing (1986), Hubei (1986), Guangdong (1989), Ningxia (1992) and Guangxi (1999); Shanxi Province (1986), Fujian Province (1987), Hebei Province (1989) and Jiangsu Province (1989) were established earlier than other provincial building materials associations; Xizang Autonomous Building Materials Industry Association and Shandong Cement Industry Association were established in 2017. Some of the provincial cement industry associations are institutions under the former provincial building materials bureaus or administrative organs, which are transformed from the reform of government institutions. The characteristics of such trade associations are that they have a relatively solid organizational foundation, strong working ability, are good at dealing with the competent government departments, are "familiar with the road" in writing industry economic operation analysis reports, and have strong industry management ability. For example, Guangdong Cement Industry Association, Shanghai Cement Industry Association, Henan Building Materials Industry Association, Hebei Building Materials Industry Association, Xinjiang Building Materials Industry Association, etc. Some associations are founded by cement enterprises. This kind of association is characterized by the rapid development of the cement industry, which can directly reflect the wishes and demands of enterprises, and can act quickly and execute strongly under the consensus of the industry. For example, Shandong Cement Industry Association, Shaanxi Cement Association, Sichuan Cement Association, etc. There are also some industry associations that rely on design institutes, research institutes, quality supervision stations and other institutions. These associations have strong ability to serve cement enterprises and have great advantages in publicizing standards, quality inspection, personnel training and technical services, which are welcomed by enterprises. For example: III. Exploration and Attempt
of" Entrepreneurs' Meeting "September 7, 2015, The Measures for the Administration of the Appointment of Heads of National Trade Associations and Chambers of Commerce (Trial Implementation)
issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs clearly stipulates that "the chairman (chairman) and Secretary-General shall not concurrently serve as the chairman (chairman) or Secretary-General of other social organizations.". The chairman (president) and the Secretary-General shall not be concurrently held by the same person and shall not come from the same member unit. "The legal representative of the National Trade Association Chamber of Commerce, which implements the rotation system of the chairman (chairman), may be the vice-chairman (vice-chairman) or the elected Secretary-General." "The Secretary-General is full-time and may be elected, appointed or recruited to the public, but the Secretary-General appointed (including recruited to the public) shall not act as the legal representative of the Association." In accordance with the above spirit of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, provincial civil affairs authorities have also formulated management measures for the appointment of heads of provincial trade associations, and their requirements are the same. In July 2019, the new Congress of China Cement Association was held, marked by the election of Gao Dengbang, then chairman of Anhui Conch Group, and the organization of the National Cement Industry Association entered a new stage of "entrepreneurs'meeting". In particular, the leaders of large cement enterprises are actively responsible, and the "top leaders" of Conch, New Tianshan, BBMG, China Resources and Red Lion personally serve as the executive vice president of China Cement Association, directly arrange and inspect the work plan and task objectives of the association, which plays an active role in promoting the work of the industry association and forms the "top leaders" project of the industry association. According to incomplete statistics, up to now, among the 31 provincial-level cement (building materials) industry associations, 25 are in-service entrepreneurs, 4 are retired entrepreneurs, 2 are retired civil servants, and more than 80% of them are leaders of existing enterprises. At present, there are four women in the leadership of the National Cement Industry Association, including two presidents and two Secretary-General.
The so-called "entrepreneurs'meeting" is a way of self-financing, self-coordination, self-management, self-restraint and self-education, with entrepreneurs as the leading factor and many member enterprises as the basis. The organization construction of the National Cement Industry Association needs a group of entrepreneurs with economic strength and social prestige who are enthusiastic about the work of the association to serve as the main leaders of the association, give full play to the leading role of the core backbone enterprises in the operation of the association, and change the original leadership mode of the association. "Entrepreneurs'Association" can truly reflect the interests of enterprises, represent the interests of the industry, and promote the high-quality and sustainable development of the cement industry with a brand-new look. "Entrepreneur Association" is an exploration and attempt made by trade associations in order to adapt to the new situation of socialist market economy and keep pace with the times. "Entrepreneurs'Association" should be embodied not only in the organizational form of the association, but also in the purpose of the association. On the road of exploring "entrepreneurs'meetings", the National Cement Industry Association is steadily advancing. Of course, advocating "entrepreneurs'associations" should not exclude non-entrepreneurs from participating in the leadership of associations. Many veteran leaders and comrades are experts in the industry, and they are quite familiar with the development direction, production situation, economic operation, industrial policy, and organizational management of the entire industry. Therefore, we should organically combine the advocacy of "entrepreneurs'meetings" with the initiative of "professional managers".
4. Problems and Challenges
The decoupling of trade associations from administrative organs is a major reform plan made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council, an innovative measure to straighten out the relationship between government and society and transform government functions, a profound change related to the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity, and a self-revolution of trade associations. After decoupling, the new social format of trade associations has gradually formed, and this new change has brought severe challenges to the original organizational operation mode of trade associations.At present, the organization system of the national cement industry association mainly has the following problems:
First, the development of the association organization is unbalanced, the internal governance ability is relatively weak, and the operation of the association is not standardized. The organizational structure of a few associations is not perfect, and there is a lack of standardized rules and regulations. Most of the associations are part-time, and the "prescribed actions" required by the competent civil affairs departments cannot be completed on time. There are few or no "optional actions", and there are more problems such as "unable to improve", "unwilling to improve" and "unable to improve".
Secondly, the work of a small number of trade associations is monotonous, focusing only on immediate benefits, ignoring long-term interests, focusing only on "off-peak production", ignoring other important service functions of the association, it is difficult to put forward the development plan of the region, measures to reduce production capacity, in-depth industry research reports, and it is difficult to win the bid for projects purchased by the government.
Thirdly, the function of the association is not perfect, and it is difficult to adapt to the requirements of the new era. The organizational construction and capacity building of individual associations obviously do not meet the requirements of the current industry in the new era, and the functions of service, communication, supervision, self-discipline, coordination and guidance undertaken by the associations can not be fully developed.
Four, many provincial associations are developing slowly because of the lack of corresponding resources. Although the government has made progress in purchasing services, the overall situation is not optimistic. There are both external and internal causes. A few associations do not have the basis of statistical data, lack the support and assistance of cooperative units, lack the guidance and guidance of higher authorities, and even the cement economic operation report of the region is difficult to form, it is difficult to play the role of serving the government and enterprises, and it is difficult to play the role of bridge and link.
Fifth, the work suggests that
"the whole country is a cement family, and the industry is a chess game." The continuation of history and the inheritance of work make the organizational system of the National Cement Industry Association naturally form a "community of destiny" in the same boat. With the same mission and the same goal, the members of this "community of destiny" share resources, complement each other's strengths, share honor and disgrace, and work hand in hand. "The interests of the industry are greater than interests of the enterprise, and the interests of the enterprise are bred in the interests of the industry" is the industry culture concept and management concept that the organization system of the National Cement Industry Association adheres to.
It is suggested that China Cement Association should improve its position, have a general outlook, dare to take responsibility and be good at taking responsibility, timely issue the Guiding Opinions on the Organizational Construction of the Organizational System of the National Cement Industry Association, further strengthen the standardization construction of the organizational system of the National Cement Industry Association, and comprehensively improve its service capacity. In accordance with the relevant requirements of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Party Construction Bureau of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the competent departments of civil affairs at the provincial level, and in accordance with the actual situation of the cement industry, the guiding opinions on the standardization construction of the National Cement Industry Association are put forward. The standardization construction mainly includes six aspects:
Party building — — giving full play to the core leadership role of the Party organization in the association system, leading the correct development direction of the cement industry, stimulating the organizational vitality of the association system, promoting the association system to play a better role in the process of industry governance system and governance capacity, and promoting the effective coverage of the Party organization and the Party's work in the association system. This is the core of standardization construction.
Organizational construction-Standardize the decision-making body of the association, act in strict accordance with the Constitution of China Cement Association, hold regular meetings of the board of directors or the president, report the annual work of the association, inform the financial budget and final accounts of revenue and expenditure, standardize the collection of membership fees by the association, and strictly follow the provisions of the Accounting System of Non-governmental Non-profit Organizations. Prepare financial and accounting reports. The Pan-Northeast Office, Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan, Northwest, Southwest, Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta Market Coordination and Self-Discipline Groups should, according to the needs of their work, strengthen the supplementary staff, hold regular coordination meetings, analyze and study the situation of the regional market, solve the problems arising in the market in a timely manner, do a good job in peak staggering production and capacity replacement, so as to achieve standardization. Continuously enhance the industry influence and social influence of trade associations. This is the foundation of standardization construction.
System construction-standardize and improve the working system of the association. We will improve various management systems, as well as the working standards and norms of the association, use the system to guide the work and standardize the behavior of employees. Insist on standardizing the use of systems to manage power, affairs and people. The financial management system is sound. Independent associations should establish and improve their internal financial management system and raise, manage and use funds reasonably according to law. Strengthen the management of post responsibilities and improve the target management of the leading group during its term of office. The association should carry out annual work target management, establish a work responsibility system with reasonable organization, clear division of labor and responsibility to people, and give full play to the overall role of the leading group. This is the means of standardization construction.
Cultural construction-strengthen the social responsibility and industry responsibility of the cement industry, and assume the value guidance and cultural responsibility of "the interests of the industry are greater than those of the enterprise, and the interests of the enterprise breed the interests of the industry". Promote industry self-discipline and honesty construction, and standardize the development order of the industry. Rules and regulations with cultural characteristics should be formulated to guide the direction and standardize the behavior of member units and practitioners. Incorporate the content of honesty and self-discipline construction into the articles of association of industry organizations, formulate honesty codes, and establish a disciplinary mechanism for dishonesty. Give full play to the role of industry media, do a good job of industry publicity and public opinion guidance through China Cement magazine, Digital Cement Network and Cement Blue Book, so that the achievements and contributions of the cement industry can be seen and heard by the government and society, and constantly improve the status of the cement industry in society. This is the connotation of standardization construction.
Capacity building – Continuously improve the policy research ability, focus on the hot and difficult points of the industry around the needs of the reform and development of the industry, take the initiative to participate in the management of the cement industry, and actively strive for a favorable environment for the development of the industry. Actively intervene in government purchasing services, as well as ancillary services needed by the government to perform its duties. Continuously improve the ability to maintain the smooth operation of the cement market, further strengthen the industry market information forecast and analysis, and provide detailed market analysis reports to the industry and the competent government departments; organize peak-shifting production and capacity replacement, promote the structural reform of the supply side, reduce costs, improve efficiency, and maintain a dynamic balance between supply and demand. Continuously improve the comprehensive service capability, provide member enterprises with information such as market analysis, technological innovation, standards and specifications, and the overall development of the industry; provide members with a platform for conference and exhibition, experience exchange, corporate culture, technology promotion, international cooperation and other services. Capacity-building is very important! Industry associations actively promote cooperation among members to form a market atmosphere of "integrity, self-discipline, fair competition, cooperation and win-win", and the industry has a vibrant and endless industrial ecology. This is the highest level of trade associations.
6. Conclusion
The National Cement Industry Association is the "community of destiny" of the cement industry, so we should form a joint force, think in one place and work hard in one place.
It is necessary to establish mutually beneficial channels for information exchange and sharing. It is clear that all parties provide relevant information, data and industry dynamic analysis to each other, so as to share industry resources and improve resource utilization and work efficiency. It not only gives full play to the advantages of China Cement Association, which is close to the competent departments of the industry and has authoritative statistical channels, but also gives full play to the local associations, which are familiar with the actual situation of the local industry. With the help of the channels of member enterprises, it jointly expands resources and information resources, shares win-win situation, and provides information service support for the development of the industry. The government policy
should be transformed into the service resources of the association. Government resources and energy are limited, and it is difficult to form precise services for enterprises in the face of complex micro-economic management. We should adhere to the joint meeting system and coordination mechanism of the chairman's Secretary-General between China Cement Association and local associations, inform each other of the situation and exchange information, form a consensus on the situation and main problems faced by the industry, and discuss countermeasures together. The relevant parties shall consult with each other on the development trend of each industry and the major problems in the development and economic operation of the industry, such as the commonness and tendentiousness, and jointly solve them.
It is necessary to turn the needs of enterprises into the effective resources of associations. It is sometimes difficult for enterprises to accurately capture government policies and institutional processes. We should work together to hold various conferences and forums on scientific and technological innovation, policies and regulations, standard quality, energy conservation and low carbon, enterprise management, marketing, procurement and supply, and international exchanges. Regularly and irregularly organize various activities according to the outstanding problems in the development of the industry and the requirements of the members, and lay an effective mechanism for the organization system of the National Cement Industry Association to serve the industry.
