Analyzing a corpus of 310 policy documents concerning SMEs in industrial internet domain, we first investigated their external structure. Thematic sequence evolution analysis subsequently identified five key topics. Building on a pivotal policy issued in 2017, the evolution of China\u2019s industrial internet policies concerning SMEs was categorized into two stages. The paper further explored the characteristics of the intergovernmental cooperation network, and examined the evolutionary paths of policy themes using a Sankey diagram. The findings indicate that the five topics in stage 2 are essentially the continuation and further development of the policy themes in stage 1, demonstrating strong policy coherence in industrial internet domain. Theoretically, this study addresses the IAD\u2019s challenges in exploring the evolution of action situations and the diverse processes of structural changes over time, while overcoming the ACF\u2019s limitations in interpreting the interactions of common belief systems and interests.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/jisys-2025-0059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,16]],"date-time":"2026-01-16T11:03:36Z","timestamp":1768561416000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A computerized text analysis on the evolution of China\u2019s industrial internet policies concerning SMEs"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9384-148X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yilin","family":"Fan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management , 118211 Zhejiang Shuren University , Hangzhou , 310015 , China"}]},{"given":"Jiahao","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Energy Engineering , Zhejiang University , Hangzhou , 310030 , China"}]},{"given":"Bingchi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management , Zhejiang University of Technology , Hangzhou , 310023 , China"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026011611310087780_j_jisys-2025-0059_ref_001","unstructured":"Central Government of China, \u201cRealize the healthy development of the private economy and develop high-quality development,\u201d 2023.
