The Research On Industrial Competitiveness Of Hunan's Equipment Manufacturing

Modern equipment manufacturing industry is an important carrier of advanced productive forces. A highly developed equipment manufacturing industry plays a very important role in realizing industrialization, measuring domestic and international competitiveness, and deciding the position of countries' international division in economic globalization. Hunan's equipment manufacturing industry has achieved a lot since the reform thirty years ago. But we cannot deny that the gap between it and coastal areas is growing. As developed countries are transferring their manufacturing industry into developing countries, we must take the advantage of the opportunity to realize Hunan's industrialization.Using Diamond Model as its main analysis tool, the thesis firstly discusses the factors of production, market demand, correlative and supporting industry, enterprise strategies, structure and competition, economic location of Hunan equipment manufacturing industry.The result of qualitative analysis reveals that Hunan equipment manufacturing industry has good regional advantages with adequate elemental factors, but it is in bad need of advanced factors such as capital, senior talent,technology. The market possession ratio of its products is small. It lacks competitive industries. There is more competition than cooperation between companies, and it is deeply influenced by Huxiang culture. Using PCA to build a model of competitiveness evaluation based on influence factors, this paper tries to evaluate the competitiveness of Hunan equipment manufacturing industry by eight evaluation norms from five aspects which are production capacity ,marketing capacity,efficiency of resource distribution,matching capacity and technology innovation capability. The results show that the synthetic competitiveness of Hunan equipment manufacturing industry is weak. The most competitive industry is manufacture of special purpose machinery represented by manufacture of construction machinery, while the manufacture of transport equipment is the weakest. And the other five industries are inferior in competition.According to the analysis of the factors and the evaluation results, eventually the paper gives several suggestions on how to develop the competitiveness of Hunan equipment manufacturing industry, which put its focus on diversification of investment subject, industrial matching, human resources development, incentive mechanism of enterprises′technological innovation.
