Research On Evolutionary Mechanism Of The Promotion Of Industrial Competitive Advantage Induced By S&T Innovation

With the ending of five-year transition period of China's WTO (World Trade Organization) membership, China will engage in international competition more and more widely, and its cost comparative advantage should be transformed to industrial competitive advantage. To form and promote industrial competitive advantage, it's necessary to develop industry on the base of S&T (science & technology) innovation and strengthen the construction of S&T self-innovation capability.Academia, enterprisers and governments have paid more and more attentions to the relationship between S&T innovation and the formation and promotion of industrial competitive advantage. But some literatures which analyze the relationship systematically can't be found. In this sense, this dissertation on the effect mechanism which S&T innovation on the formation and promotion of industrial competitive advantage will have important theoretical and realistic meaning.This dissertation brings together some theories and methods, such as innovation economics, industrial economics, evolutionary economics, endogenous growth theory and self-organization theory to analyze this effect mechanism systematically. After analysis, this dissertation reveals effect mechanism, sums up the experiences that developed countries and later-developing countries increase industrial competitive advantage evaluates industrial competitive advantage of China's high-tech industry and pursue the route and solution to promote China's high-tech industrial competitive advantage.Industry competitive advantage is triggered by S&T innovation. S&T innovation is based on S&T. Industrial competitive advantage is the advantage of specific country or specific region in specific period. The evolution of industrial competitive advantage is triggered by the formation of innovative mechanism of factors of production, the upgrading of domestic demand, more fierce competition of enterprises, the growth of relative and supporting industries.Industry innovation is the basic route of the evolution of industrial competitive advantage. Industry innovation includes industrial formation innovation, industrial organization innovation and industrial structure innovation. The process of industry innovation is the process of the formation and promotion of industrial competitive advantage. Industrial formation innovation can promote absolute competitive advantage. Industrial cluster as the new style of industrial organization innovation can increase industrial competitive advantage through cost advantage, economy of scale effect and externalities. Industry convergence which results in industrial organization innovation can also form and increase industrial competitive advantage through creating new industry, extending industrial value chain and reforming traditional industry.The evolution of industrial competitive advantage is a process of self-organization evolution which is induced by S&T innovation. The evolution of industrial competitive advantage is a process of hyper-cycle which is from industrial formation innovation, industrial organization innovation to industrial structure innovation.Lastly, this dissertation verifies the effect which S&T innovation make on the evolution of industrial competitive advantage. Taking textile industry of England, automobile industry of America and electronic industry of Japan which developed in three industry revolutions as examples, this dissertation summarizes the international experiences of the evolution of industrial competitive advantage. This dissertation sets up the evaluation model of industrial competitive advantage on the base of Solow's exogenous growth model and Romer's endogenous growth model. With the help of this model, this dissertation evaluates the advantage of China's high-tech industry and its five sectors. The evaluation results show that the advantage of China's high-tech industry is triggered by factors of production. So it's reasonable for China's high-tech industry to pursue the route of leap-forward evolution.
