China Aerospace Industry Competitiveness Study

This dissertation, on the basis of related theories of China's aerospace industrial competitive capacity, elaborates the basic connotation of aerospace industry, its development course, technical characteristics and economic characteristics from the economic point of view. It probes into source and basic connotation of the current related theories of competitive capacity in the world, focuses on the study of theories regarding competitive strategy, competitive edge and national competitive edge and systematically sets forth the industry competitive capacity theory and its analysis frame. This dissertation emphasizes the study of Diamond system theory of a nation of Michael E. Porter and puts forward the theory of competitive capacity of China's aerospace industry and its analysis frame. Based on the conditions of the factors of China's aerospace industrial competitive capacity, this dissertation makes systematic analysis and comparisons between China and other countries so as to know the advantages and disadvantages of competitive capacity of China's aerospace industry. Finally, it puts forward the proposal of improving the development strategy of competitive capacity of China's aerospace industry and the related policy from the industrial level and the state level respectively.This dissertation is composed of four chapters. And according to certain logic relations, the studies are carried out in the following four parts.Chapter One:The characteristics of aerospace industry.This chapter sets forth that the aerospace technology is a comprehensive engineering technology used to explore, develop and utilize the space and celestial body beyond the earth. It includes aerospace technology, aerospace application and aerospace science. The aerospace industry is a hi-tech industry that has jointly developed from these three areas. Aerospace industry has experienced the development course of 50 years. The technical characteristics of aerospace industry mainly lie in the following facts as huge technical scale, high complexity; high quality, high reliability; strong in system and wide in application area; longer R&D cycle. The economic characteristics of aerospace technology mainly include multiple uses, i.e. usable in military, civilian and commercial areas; costly investment, high risks; great benefits.Chapter Two:Studies on the related theories of industrial competitive capacity. This chapter depicts the general situation of the studies done home andabroad on competitive capacity. It probes into the concept of industry, implications of international competitive capacity and the basic connotation of industrial international competitive capacity. It also studies the evaluation theory of international competitive capacity, competitive strategy and competitive edge theory. There are five competitive capacities in any industry, which jointly determine the internal competitive status within an industry and determine an enterprise's capability within an industry of obtaining the average investment benefit ratio over the capital cost. The competitive advantages include cost advantage and differentiation advantage and the basic method to judge the competitive advantages is the value chain analysis. The basic competitive strategies of acquiring sustainable competitive advantages are overall cost leadership, differentiation and focus. The national competitive edge refers to a nation's capability that makes its enterprises and industries create and maintain the advantages in certain areas. The national competitive edge theory, on the basis of industry, is to study the various factors that decide and influence the international competitive capacity of a specific industry of a nation. The Diamond system theory of Professor Porter indicates that whether the specific industry of a nation has international competitive capacity or not depends on the following six factors in the economic environment of this nation: production factor, demand condition, related and supportive industry, business strategy, enterprise stru...
