Economic power determines a country's position in the world, the study on international competitiveness is the needs of economic development. From a macro point of view, the performance of international competitiveness is national competitiveness; from a middle point of view, it is industrial competitiveness; from a micro point of view, it is showed for the competitiveness of enterprises and the competitiveness of products. Industrial competitiveness is the inherent elements of national competitiveness, and it is the external performance of the competitiveness of enterprises. Therefore, industrial competitiveness links national competitiveness and the competitiveness of enterprises together. Based on this, the paper studies on regional industrial competitiveness. High-tech industry is knowledge and technology-intensive industry, and it is an important driving force for promoting the upgrading of the industrial structure and enhancing the industrial competitiveness. Therefore, the high-tech industry is chosen to study in this paper.With the reformation and opening up has passed 30 years, China occupies an increasingly important position in the world economy. China's rapid economic development is inseparable from industrial upgrades, and that high-tech industry plays the leading role to China's industrial upgrading is beyond doubt. In this paper, the purpose of the study is to research the influencing factors of China's high-tech industrial competitiveness; how much gap in China's regional high-tech industrial competitiveness; what are the main reasons that the high-tech industrial competitiveness in Jilin Province is weak; how to speed up China's high-tech industrial development and how to enhance the high-tech industrial competitiveness in Jilin Province.This paper is divided into six parts, its structure and main contents are as follows:Exordium is the first chapter. First, it introduces the topical background in this paper, and then it establishes the research framework and describes main content of this paper, at the end of chapter I, it introduces the paper's methodology.Chapter II is the theory of regional industrial competitiveness. This chapter first clarifies the basic concepts of regional industrial competitiveness, and then elaborates on the two theories of regional industrial competitiveness: competition theory and advantage theory. Finally, according to what is researched in this paper, it introduces the theory of the high-tech industry.Chapter III is the regional industrial competitiveness's evaluation index system and evaluation methods. First, this chapter introduces the design principles of evaluation index system, and then on the basis of the relevant study at home and abroad it establishes evaluation index system in line with China's national conditions. In this paper, we use factor analysis and cluster analysis to evaluate the index system, and give a brief description on the basic principles of factor analysis and cluster analysis. At the end of this chapter, we give the factor analysis's model.Chapter IV is the empirical analysis of regional high-tech industrial competitiveness. This chapter uses 2006's data as raw data, and analyzes China's external competitiveness and internal competitiveness in the high-tech industry respectively. We conduct factor analysis first in each analysis, access to public factor, and then classify the selected indicators scientifically; then we get the main influencing factors that affect China's high-tech industrial competitiveness. After this by conducting cluster analysis on all provinces'data, we get the same classification results as what we have got. From the regional point of view, we give a comprehensive analysis on China's high-tech industrial competitiveness. At the end of this chapter, we analyze the competitiveness of the high-tech industry in Jilin Province and point out that the existent gaps and analyze the cause.Chapter V is the proposal. According to the analysis in chapter IV, and the actual situation in China, we give the proposals to speed up the development of China's high-tech industry, and then we give the measures and proposals that how to enhance the competitiveness of high-tech industry in Jilin Province.The last part of this paper is conclusion. This part summarizes the research findings, mainly six points as follows:1. Technological base, technological environment and relative R&D potential are the main influencing factors in the external competitiveness of China's high-tech industry. Among them, technological base's contribution rate is the largest for the 41.159%, this indicates that the technological base is the most important factor to affect China's external competitiveness of the high-tech industry; followed by the technological environment factor, the contribution rate is 35.987%; the relative R&D potential factor's contribution rate is the minimum for the 9.279%, it has the least influence on external competitiveness of the high-tech industry. This shows that among the macro factors what affect China's high-tech industrial development, capital and manpower's input has played a vital role, which also reflects the high-input characteristics in high-tech industry.2. Scale output, technological R&D and trade competitiveness are the main influencing factors in the internal competitiveness of China's high-tech industry. Among them, scale output factor's contribution rate is the largest for 44.682%, it indicates that the level of industrial equipment and high-tech products'output and sales income are the most important factors for the internal competitiveness of high-tech industry; followed by the technical R&D factor, the contribution rate is 32.792%, it indicates that human and financial resources'input and technological output brought about by them are also important factors; trade competitiveness factor has the least influence on the internal competitiveness of high-tech industry, its contribution rate is 12.836%. This shows that among the micro factors what affect China's high-tech industrial development, the output value and sales revenue of high-tech products have played a very important role, which reflects the high-output characteristics in high-tech industry.3. China's regional competitiveness of the high-tech industry's gap is large. In 2006, the range of comprehensive factor's score in the external competitiveness of China's high-tech industry is 2.47, and that of the internal competitiveness is 2.32. Therefore, the local government and enterprises should increase the intensity of cooperation, and earnestly implement the national policies and guidelines. Developed regions should provide technical support for backward areas, backward regions should make use of their superiority and adopt effective strategies to catch up and surpass the developed regions.4. Eastern region of high-tech industrial competitiveness is stronger than that in the central and western areas, the gap between central and western regions is little, the central region's comprehensive competitiveness is not significantly higher than the western region, and even some of the western the same time, the regional high-tech industrial development in the eastern regions is not balanced.5. According to the full text of the study, this paper proposes four proposals to speed up the development of China's high-tech industry: strengthening independent innovation; promoting industrial clustering, expanding international cooperation and developing high-quality talent.6. Competitiveness of the high-tech industry in Jilin Province is weak; we think that the reasons should be found in three areas: government, enterprises and scientific research institutions. To enhance the competitiveness of high-tech industry in Jilin Province, the government should start building soft and hard environment; enterprises should strengthen co-operation and innovation; scientific research institutions should strengthen the training of talented people.
