The development of high-tech industry represents technological development level and comprehensive strength of a country or region, while technological innovation is the core of the high-tech industry development and improvement of competitiveness. In a decade, high-tech industry in Hubei Province is developing rapidly and growing stronger, but there is still a large gap between Hubei Province and developed countries or regions. Using multivariate statistical analysis method and the comparative analysis method, this dissertation analyzes and evaluates the technological innovation capability, innovation performance and innovation system of high-tech industry in Hubei Province from the angle of industrial innovation economics. This research has important theoretical value and practical significance for the development of high-tech industry, the improvement of technical innovation, the enhancement of competitive strength, and acceleration of optimizing economical development ways.This dissertation is divided into7chapters. The first chapter is an introduction. The second chapter presents the theoretical basis. The theories on industrial innovation economics, economics of high-tech industry and innovation system are discussed and summarized to lay the theoretical foundation for the following study. The third, fourth and fifth chapters are the focus of this dissertation. These chapters explain the use of Delphi and AHP methods to build evaluation index system of innovation capability and innovation performance for high-tech industries in Hubei Province. The chapters also describe the applications of principal component analysis, data envelopment analysis, multiple linear regression analysis and corresponding system software to make dynamic evaluation and comparative analysis for the same industry in different provinces as well as different industries in Hubei Province. These evaluation and analysis are made according to four stages dating from the8th Five-Year Plan to the11th Five-Year Plan. In addition, the analyses empirically address the factors that could affect innovation capability of high-tech industries. The sixth chapter analyzes status quo and existing problems of the Industry-Academy-Research cooperation, and builds innovation system model of high-tech industry in Hubei Province, and gives proposals on how to improve and perfect the innovation system of high-tech in Hubei Province. The seventh chapter summarizes the whole dissertation and puts forward research prospect.The main innovation of this dissertation is shown in four aspects:(1) Multi-level evaluation index system of innovation capability and innovation performance is built to make dynamic evaluation by stages. In order to avoid the randomness of annual data, the average of five years’ data, is employed to makes dynamic evaluation and comparative analysis by dividing evaluation years into four stages:The8th5-year period, the9th5-year period, the10th5-year period and the11th5-year period. The results show the change of country’s statue of innovation performance and innovation capability of high-tech industry in Hubei Province as well as the differences in various industries. The proposed dynamic evaluation indicates the differences and variations of innovation capabilities and performances among different provincial regions and in different stages. The evaluation result is all-around, dynamic and science-oriented.(2) The inherent relationship of innovation capability, innovation performance and innovation system is illustrated. The research shows that not all provinces which have great innovation capabilities have good innovation performances and vice versa. However the province which have both strong innovative capabilities and good innovative performances do possess well-developed innovation systems, and on the other side, the provinces with imperfect innovation system certainly have week innovation capability and poor innovation performance. Hubei province ranked12in the country with the innovation capability of high-tech industry, but it ranked22with innovation performance. This suggests that the innovation systems without very good innovation performance in Hubei province must be improved to transform the science and education advantages into economic ones, even though it has greater innovation capability and is still making progress.(3) Multivariate statistical analysis method is applied to construct an econometric model of influential factor on Hubei province’s innovation capability of high-tech industry. Taking pharmaceutical industry in Hubei province as an example to perform empirical study, the study indicates that evident influences on the promotion of technical innovation capabilities are mainly produce by scale of enterprises, budget of technical innovation and manpower for R&D, other than government support.(4) A model of high-tech industrial innovation system in Hubei Province is formed to reveal the Industry-Academy-Research cooperation mechanism. The Hubei high-tech industrial innovation system consists of the main innovation body of enterprises as the core of technology innovation system, which is supported by knowledge innovation system, environment support system, technological service system, technology investment and financing system. The key factor to improve the technological innovation capability and innovation performance of high-tech industry in Hubei Province is to cooperatively perform the actions of main parties of enterprises, universities and institutes, government, Intermediary service organizations and financial institutions.
