The Research On Internationalization Of China’s Electronic Information Industry

The development of economic globalization makes the scope of the allocation of resources is beyond national borders, seeking the best combination of elements and the most effective use of resources in the world, and resulting in a new round of adjustment and upgrading of industrial structure, and evolution direction of internationalization. In this context, the essence of developing countries to promote the industrial internationalization is to participate in international division of labor, make use of their comparative advantages to embed in the global value chain, and continue to seek further upgrading in the value chain, to occupy the high value-added part. Accelerating the industrial internationalization development is the inevitable trend of China’s opening up and economic development, the key of industrial transformation and upgrading, and an important choice for achieving fundamental change in the way of economic development.Electronic information industry is a typical global industry, since the innate opening characteristics and special development law and model, its development relates to state power in the international competition in the new round of industry, is an important focal point to promote a country to achieve leapfrog development. On 18th October,2010, the State Council of the People’s Republic of China issued "the decision on accelerating the fostering and development of strategic emerging industries ", clearly put forward to improve the international level of the strategic emerging industries, including electronic information industry. On 8th September, 2011, the Ministry of Commerce, the national development and Reform Commission and other 10 departments jointly issued the "guiding opinions on promoting the internationalization of the development of strategic emerging industries", clearling the importance of the international development of electronic information industry at the strategic level.With the dynamic comparative advantage theory and the industry life cycle theory as the foundation, this paper focused on development characteristics and competition rules of electronic information industry, based on the perspective of the division of global value chain, represented the international basic pattern of the electronic information industry, and researched on the status, the basic situation and the existence main problems of China’s electronic information industry. Through summarizing and comprising the internationalization development pattern and the experience of the typical electronic information industrial nations, construct the basic framework of the internationalization strategy of China’s electronic information industry:Under the static comparative advantage, the industry internationalization tends to play the labor intensive as its comparative advantage, through actively participating in international division of labor and integrating into the global labor division system, engaged in the product processing and export expanding, solved the domestic employment problem, and moreover, made use of foreign capital as far as possible to achieve the technological progress. In the short run, it is conducive to the expansion of the scale of the industry and the promotion of economic development, but the problem is that it is easy to cause the division of locking, falling into "the trap of comparative advantage". Dynamic comparative advantage claims to maintain economic independence under the condition of opening up, pay attention to cultivate and promote the new comparative advantage from the dynamic side, through industrial upgrading to breakthrough in the lock of international division of labor, constantly optimize the industrial structure and trade structure. With the gradual formation of the global large-scale socialized production network, the new competition pattern of "the internationalization of the domestic market and the nationalization of international market" has basically established. The natural division of labor built on the resources and products, has been replaced by the model of all sectors of the industry value chain. Electronic information industry as a strategic emerging industry, its feature of the division of labor across borders is particularly evident. The trend of globalization demands the enterprise must become an international one, and the industry also must make internationalization strategy as its development direction.Generally, the industry life cycle includes form period, growth period, mature period and decline period, and industry internationalization adopt different strategies in each stage, also shows different characteristics. Same as majority industries, the electronic information industry follow this rule. According to the theory of industry life cycle, industry can be divided into the emerging, growth, maturity and decline industry. According to different stages of development, a nation adopts different strategies of internationalization. This paper based on global value chains, made use of the international division of labor theory as the main tool, analyzed the current situation of the division on the global electronic information industry, grasped the cross-border arrangements and value-added distribution of value chain in the global electronic information industrial, clarify the development situation and international position of China’s electronic information industry, summed up the course of internationalization development of China’s electronic information industry, combined with the main countries (and regions) international experience, and constructed the strategic target and the basic path of internationalization of China’s electronic information industry.In order to describe the development of China’s electronic information industry, and decide the development stage of industry life cycle under a certain time point, this paper adopted the industrial value added ratio to GDP ratio, to reflect the situation of the electronic information industry with the growth of national economy. The Pearl model and Compertz model represent China’s electronic information industry growth curve and the life cycle curve, and define the stages of the life cycle. Meanwhile, The 22 industry internationalization level evaluation indexes judge the internationalization level of development of China’s electronic information industry. On the basis of the comparison between China and the United States, it decide the internationalization development level of China’s electronic information industry and the existence of the weak target, providing realistic basis for further construction of the internationalization strategy of China’s electronic information industry.Finally, this paper analyzed the strategic implementation environment of the internationalization of China’s electronic information industry, applying SWOT method to study the advantages and disadvantages, the opportunities and challenges. Formulate the aim of the extension of industry chain and the core technology and standard breakthrough, proposed to upgrade the development path as the main means, summarized the strategic measures include trade, technological innovation, personnel training and other means, and provided relative countermeasures and suggestions.This paper includes eight chapters:the first chapter is introduction, expound the background and significance, summarize the domestic and foreign research on present situation and new progress, clarify the research content, method, make the research technical route and propose the main innovation of this article; the second chapter is theory base and the starting point of research, combine with the dynamic comparative advantage theory, the theory of global value chain, industry life cycle theory, the theory of industrial international competitiveness, the Multi-National Corporation theory and industry internationalization, and state the definition, connotation, forms and features of internationalization of industry, which lays the theoretical basis and logical starting point for the following research; The third chapter is the international pattern and the development trend of electronic information industry. Define the electronic information industry, and analyze the necessity of industry internationalization strategy from the perspective of dynamic comparative advantage and the industry life cycle Analyze the basic international pattern of electronic information industry nowadays, starting from the relationship between industry and economic development of electronic information, emphasize on the necessity of its international development, and point out the basic trend of development; The fourth chapter is the electronic information industry from the perspective of global value chain. Through the value analysis of the distribution of the global electronic and information industrial value chain and the "smile curve" of country arrangements, reviewing the development of the electronic information internationalization in China, summarize the basic situation, clarify the status of China’s electronic information industry in the international market, and further point out the possible problems in the electronic information industry of China internationalization.The fifth chapter is measure and empirical studies on die internationalization level of electronic information industry.Fitting the added value and GDP ratio curve of the electronic information industry by using Pearl model, Compertz model, construct growth curve and life curve of China’s electronic information industry, clarify the stage of industry life cycle. Meanwhile, combining with the 22 industry internationalization level evaluation indexes, judge the internationalization level of development of China’s electronic information industry; the sixth chapter is typical features and strategies of internationalization development of main countries (and regions) of electronic information industry. Through comparison of the internationalization development pattern and main strategies of the major world powers and the area of electronic information industry, provides experiences and references for the formulation of the internationalization strategy of China’s electronic information industry; the seventh chapter is the construction of the strategy of electronic information industry internationalization. On the basis of previous research, this chapter analyzes study the advantages and disadvantages, the opportunities and challenges, and proposes the strategic target, the path and specific measures of implementation; The eighth chapter is the conclusion, summarize the main conclusions, reflect the problems existing in this paper, and propose the further assumption for the following research.
