This paper tries to solve such a problem of whether there is a way that leads a developing country to a developed one. So the course of this development is discussed which includes three stages: the incipience of industrialization,the stage of industry's upgrading and the stage of technology's innovation. These three stages cover the whole course of the development of a developing country. The analysis made in this paper is based on the economics principles and neglects the special social and historical conditions. This paper at last concludes that there exists such a developing way for a large developing country, which is not surely available for the small developing countries. For small developing countries their further development of industries is an uncertain course The proof of this existence for the large country is given in this paper. At the last part of this paper the features that a reasonable industries' promotion policy are listed. This paper is divided into five chapters: Preface, Chapter 1 The Industry Structure at the Starting Point of the Industrialization of Developing Countries, Chapter 2 The Dynamic Development of Industry Structure, Chapter 3 Large Developing Countries' Obtaining the Technology Advantage, Chapter 4 Large Developing Countries' Reasonable Industry Promoting Policy. The preface chapter point out an immanent problem, that is, how a developing country could transfer from underdevelopment to advanced status. Although there has already been some theories about how to choose industry structure, they all concentrate on only one stage of the this course. No one describes the whole transformation. This paper is destined to study the whole course of the industry transformation in a large developing country. The first Chapter consists of five sections, which individuallydiscuss five issues about the developing countries incipient industrialization. These issues include : Ⅰthe incipient status of the developing country in industrialization, Ⅱtwo developing strategies during the industrialization incipience, Ⅲemployment and income under the labor division in accordance with the comparative advantage, Ⅳincome allocation and demand, Ⅴ some remarks on the comparative advantage. The Chapter 1 is the largest part of this paper, because: firstly, the arrangement of the industry structure at the incipience of industrialization affects the later industries' upgrading heavily; secondly, this chapter figure out the conditions under which the comparative advantage law is a forcing factor to the industry upgrading, and the later analysis will be fluent in the frame of comparative advantage theory system. In the chapter 1, the analysis doesn't tell the difference between the large country and the small one in industry development. That is because the large developing country and the small one share the same theories on industry structure. All the developing countries have the same abundant manufacturing factor, labor resource. So according to the comparative advantage theory that they should concentrate on the labor-intensive industry is universally appropriate for the developing countries. This chapter gives out two definitions for the Abound in Labor . One is in relative meaning of price and the other is in absolute meaning of quantity. A country with low labor price is called abounding in labor resource, but it is surely be the one abounds in labor resource absolutely. Nearly all the developing countries correspond to the relative definition, but only some large developing countries can be called absolutely abounding in labor resource. This difference causes the effects of large country. At the incipience of the industrialization a developing has two antithetic choices: export-oriented strategy and import-replacement one, or free-trade mode and government-control mode. There is a strategy that fits all the developing countries. That is to develop labor-intensiveindustry corresponding to their comparative advantage in labor resource, and then be oriented by exporting to...
