Industrial Transformation. City

Resource-based cities are developed by resource exploitation. There are many resource-based cities in China. The urgent problem to resource-based cities is how to realize industry conversion for the sustainable development of the cities while the resource is dried up gradually. The research object is the industry conversion in resource-based cities under market economy in China. The research conclusions provide the decision-making basis for the government and related institutions and analysis tools for the resource-exploiting enterprise in the development decision-making.Positive study and normative study are adopted and quantitative analysis is combined with qualitative analysis in the dissertation. At first, documents are recalled and referred. Then, research progress of related research field is analyzed. Meanwhile, the domestic typical resource-based cities have been investigated. Subsequently, the international comparison of industry conversion in resource-based cities is conducted to support the whole research. Therefore, the problems disclosed in comparison research make a start of the future research. Aimed at the weakness sector of the related research, the researches are developed in three dimensions, i.e., the evolution route of resource-based cities, the interaction between industrial organization and industry conversion in resource-based cities, industry conversion model and countermeasure. The theory of industrial organization, institution economics and game theory are put to use in the progress of the research. It is a brave attempt to induce the theory of new industrial region, competitive advantage of nation and industry cluster theory into the research field of resource-based cities. The research of countermeasure is conducted based on the restriction factors and institution defects existed in industry conversion.The meaning of the resource-based industry and resource-based city are analyzed and the concepts are defined in the dissertation. In order to realize industry conversion in resource-based cities under market economy in China, the representational market economy nations are chosen as the object of the comparative study. The revelations are obtained in the application of industry conversion policy, the opportunity choice of industry conversion, regional competitive advantage reconstruction, personnel practice and profession training by comparison research under different backgrounds. The dynamic mechanism in the development of resource-based cities and restriction factors to industry conversion in resource-based citied are analyzed. The countermeasures to promote industry conversion at different opportunity are put forward. The difference in market structure, entry barrier and exit barrier of resource-based industry is disclosed. The classification of industrial organization structure of resource-based industry is obtained. The deep research on the industry conversion in oil cities and coal cities is conducted based on the classification. It is proved that industrial organization structure of resource-based industry has played an important role in industry conversion in resource-based cities, which is ignored in the past.Therefore, countermeasures to industry conversion in different industrial organization structure are put forward. The industry conversion model, i.e., industry extension, industry renewal and combination model are given by positive study. The key factors affected the choice of industry conversion model are put forward. The approach of matching matrix for investment decision-making in industry conversion is put forward based on the fit between investor's characteristics and investment opportunities and the fit between investor's characteristics and project's key factors. Transaction cost and moral hazard occurred in the regional innovation system of resource-based cities are studied. The countermeasures to establish the regional innovation system of resource-based cities are given by integrating internal innovation resources and utilizing external innovation r...
