Study On R&D Efficiency And Its Factors Of Chinese Electronic And Telecommunication Equipment Manufacturing Industry

R & D activity is the key factor to guide S&T (scientific and technological) innovation and achieve technological progress, but not all of the R & D activities can bring S&T progress. Some R & D investment has not been fully utilized to get the desired technological achievements, leading R & D activities inefficiency. After initial judgement, the R & D efficiency of Chinese electronic and telecommunication equipment manufacturing industry is less. It will not only affect the industry technological innovation and sustainable development, but also affect technological transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries by associated effect. In view of this, it is necessary to study the R & D efficiency of electronic and telecommunication equipment manufacturing industry deeply, and to identify what factors impact its efficiency as well as their impact ways.In accordance with the systemic evaluation process of R & D efficiency, the paper analysed the R & D efficiency of electronic and telecommunication equipment manufacturing industry from both static and dynamic aspects, drawing some meaningful conclusions:â‘ In the static analysis, generally the industries of most intensive R & D activities and the highest proportion of R & D investment almost are those of R & D efficiency of the higher level. The R & D efficiency of many provinces is not high, and there is no significant correlation between R & D efficiency and geographical distribution.â‘¡In the dynamic analysis, the R & D efficiency of most sub-industries doesn't increase continuously expect radio and television equipment manufacturing industry, mainly because of worse technological progress. Regional R & D efficiency is convergent, and the upgrading processes of technological progress and technical efficiency are not consistent.Based on the industry characteristics, the paper chose three factors: market structure, ownership structure and industrial agglomeration, and drew following conclusions after analysis:â‘ There is a clear positive relationship between business scale and its R & D efficiency, against the relationship between market competition and R & D efficiency. It is more conducive to raising the R & D efficiency in the situation of fewer enterprises, larger size of enterprises and weaker degree of market competition. Thus these two conclusions are consistent.â‘¡The coefficient of proportion of foreign-invested enterprise is positive, and that of state-owned enterprises is negative. It means that the higher the proportion of foreign-invested enterprise is, the higher the entire industry R & D efficiency will be. The R & D efficiency of foreign-invested enterprise is higher than that of state-owned enterprises.â‘¢The increasing degree of industrial agglomeration plays a significant positive role in industry R & D efficiency.
