International Competitiveness Comparatively Study On Internet And Communications Industry Among China, The United States, Japan And South Korea

International competitiveness is the comprehensive ability of creating growth valueand sustainable growth of the national wealth for a country in the world economicenvironment. After the end of World War II, with the development of economicglobalization, open economy has been highly developed, and the international competitionis becoming increasingly fierce. Whether a country can occupy the required productionfactors in the international market, and whether it has the ability to effectively use thesefactors to produce and achieve more products in the international market and improvenational welfare, has become a major factor for evaluating the economic developmentstrength of the country. After the1990s, it was found that a meso-level industrialinternational competitiveness is a new concept of system quantitative, which can reflects theoverall international competitiveness of a country or a region from existing strength aspectand development potential aspect. Therefore, research on international competitiveness ofan industry is becoming the world’s researching hot spots.As one of the industries that affect human being most in the21st century, and with thewide range of market demand in the world, Internet and communications industry has rapidexpansion at an unprecedented rate around the world and has an important impact on thenational economy of countries. In addition, it has been infiltrated into social whole industrychain and life-cycle because of its superior penetration in traditional industries. Comparingwith industrial economy, the entirely different production factors, business model, theeconomic pattern of Internet and communications industry are changing the world andtriggering an unprecedented revolution. In today’s world, the Internet and communicationindustry has become a national industry commanding height and a measure symbol of acountry’s industry whole level.Together with other countries, China’s Internet and communications industry has beenrapidly developing following international trends in recent years. It’s strength has beenincreased steadily, its role and position in the national economy are rising day by day. Inaddition, not only does it become the new engine of China’s economy, but also inject newvitality into the development of the national economy, and it is changing the pattern of economic development. However, compared with the countries as the United States, Japan,and Korea, whose Internet and communications industry are developed, China’s Internet andtelecommunications industry is still in its infancy. Whether in penetration rate of Internet andcommunications equipment, generalization of new technologies, development of supportingindustry, or in the effect aspect of it on economy and social, etc., there are still a no small gap.Through a comparative study on the industrial international competitiveness of theUnited States, Japan, Korea, and China, it will be more clearly seen that the advantages,gaps and deficiencies of China’s Internet and communications development. The study notonly helps to improve international competitiveness of China’s Internet and communicationsindustry, reduce the gap between China·s and the developed countries in Internet andcommunications industry, but also more favorable to China’s industrial restructuring andupgrading. In addition, the research on Internet and communication industrial internationalcompetitiveness, in theory, helps to look for the source of a country’s internationalcompetitiveness after the "resources gift theory", explore the laws that the backwardcountries how to shorten the gap between them and advanced countries to play alate-developing advantage. The research results can be theory reference for Chineseindustrial taking part in international competition, and the reference for developingcountries like China, how to enhance the international competitiveness of industries, and toparticipate in international competition and realize leap-forward development, and provideworthwhile ways.From the traditional trade theory, comparative advantage, new trade theory,endogenous comparative advantage theory, and then to Michael Porter’s theory ofcomparative advantage, along the known laws of things and real history, this article sortsout the theories skeleton of industrial international competitiveness. Combined with therelative theories on Industrial Economics and Technology Economics and DevelopmentEconomics, this paper explores the source of industrial international competitiveness. Insumming up the results of previous studies, this paper established the evaluation methodand evaluation system of Internet and communication industry internationalcompetitiveness based on endogenous comparative advantage theory and competitiveadvantage theory, using the method of combining theoretical research and empiricalresearch, and on the basis of the principle of multi-level and comprehensive evaluation,from a combination of internal and external factors, dynamic and static balance. Applyingstatistical principles of analytic and using the MATLAB software, this articlecomprehensively and systematically does an analysis and an evaluation about international competitiveness of Internet and communications industry in China, the United States, Japanand Korea. And combined with the results of analysis and evaluation, correspondingcountermeasures and suggestions was put forward on how to improve the internationalcompetitiveness of China’s Internet and communications industries.The innovations are reflected in the following three main aspects: the first is thetheoretical framework of the Internet and communication industry internationalcompetitiveness analysis was established; the second is the Internet and communicationindustry international competitiveness evaluation system was build; the third is thatcomprehensive evaluation and comparison study on the Internet and communicationsindustries international competitiveness of the United States, Japan, South Korea and Chinawere done creatively.This paper is divided into five parts:1. The theory and research on industrialinternational competitiveness. International competitiveness of industry-related theory andthe evaluation methods were sorted out here, and a theoretical framework on analysis andevaluation of international competitiveness of industry was established;2. The overviewof Internet and communications industry. This section describes the classification anddevelopment trends of industries, the industries range and the relationship of Internet andcommunications industries, and there the characteristics were analyzed.3. The historicaland current situation of the Internet and communication industry in China, the United States,Japan and South Korea were introduced and analyzed. The present situation anddevelopment trend of the Internet and the communications industry in the world wereanalyzed in this section. The development course and current situation of Internet andtelecommunications industry in China, the United States, Japan and South Korea wereintroduced;4.The comparative analysis and comprehensive evaluation on the internationalcompetitiveness of Internet and communications industrial of China, the United States,Japan and South Korea were conducted here. Through analyzing the internal and externalfactors which affect industrial international competitiveness, an evaluation index system ofthe Internet and communications industries international competitive was established. Usingthe analytic hierarchy process, by the MATLAB software, a comprehensive analysis andevaluation about international competitiveness of the Internet and communicationsindustrial in the four countries was done;5. The countermeasures and suggestions toimprove the international competitiveness of China’s Internet and communications industrywere put forward in this part. By combining the aforementioned theories and empiricalresults, worth learning strategies and practical recommendations were put forward for upgrading Chinese international competitiveness of the Internet and communicationindustry.
