**Keywords:** Township Enterprise; Online Approval System; Evaluation; Sphere of Application

Since 1990s, human being entered into the Information-Dominated society, which
is also called information society. According to the requirements of avoiding risk,
moderate advancement and market operation, the management department of
township enterprises should provide general business information services and
agricultural enterprise information application services for characteristic industry,
such as shoemaking, textile and garment, stone carving and stone processing,
petrochemical industry, pottery and porcelain, hardware and electromechanical, tea,
orange and so on. The agricultural enterprise application service system can provide
township enterprises with integrated services in improving production efficiency,
reducing cost and timely information gathering. At the same time, we should
encourage the powerful and reputable information product enterprises to provide the
peasants with both information services and business information in supplying and
selling agricultural products. We should also strengthen supervision and crack down
on price deception and the behavior of selling shoddy terminals so as to protect the
legitimate interests of peasants. Therefore, we should build a government-dominating
informationalized township enterprise constructing and organizing management
institution and make an overall and long-term general plan for information
development and a series of township enterprise e-business normative system to ensure the verity and health of the township enterprise information and the smooth channels of information collecting and communicating and to strengthen the macro-guidance to the development of township enterprise e-business.

# 1 The Introduction of Township Enterprise Online Approval System

The township enterprise business online approval system can achieve the standardization of township enterprise approval by using the computer and network technology instead of the traditional manual way to handle the application and approval of township enterprise. The administrative department of township enterprise acts as trade and economy commission in the villages and towns, as township enterprise administrative bureau or industrial promotion bureau in the county and also as a small-and-middle-sized enterprise bureau affiliated to industrial information office in the province. The responsibilities of the superior management departments are mainly for the interpretation and implementation of policies (referring to various kinds of national preferential policies and encouragement policies), calculating on numbers and examining and approving license for waste metal and coal marketing. The approval of township enterprises is handled by industrial and commercial bureau. If the enterprise is relatively large or with high technology content, the examination and approval shall be handled by development and reform bureau in the province, city and county first, and then get business license from industrial and commercial bureau.

### 1.1.1 Online Approval Module

The online approval business includes the record keeping of the founding of township enterprise and its business change. The online approval functional module consists of the declarer's bidding and inquiring function, assisting with input of villages and towns trade and economy commission and county township enterprises administrative bureau or industrial promotion bureau, industrial and commercial bureau's three-level approval function and industrial and commercial bureau's discipline inspection and supervision function. The online approval module, which is responsible for all the township enterprise approval business, is the core of township enterprise approval system. The necessary materials for township enterprises' founding include enterprise name, domicile, business place, legal representative or legal person, business registration number, economic nature, organization type, scope of business, mode of
operation, category of business, registered capital, number of employees and duration of operation and so on. The required certifying documents shall be uploaded in the forms of scanning or be filled in Word document format.

The industrial and commercial bureau's three-level approval consists of preliminary reviewer's examination and verification, competent business director's examination and verification and competent business head's examination and approval. If any level of the three-level examination and approval system doesn't make any examination opinion, the examination and approval process will not continue. That is to say, the higher authority can only skim over the township enterprise' application information and can't make any specific examination and approval opinion if the lower authority doesn't express any opinion in accordance with the examination and approval process. The higher authority can make the decision of approval or not approval only when the low authority make the examination and approval opinion. This kind of process design can standardize the examination and approval process so as to avoid the skip-level examination and approval, which plays a significant role in the higher authority's supervision to the lower authority.
