Regional Strategic Emerging Industry Competitiveness Evaluation Research

In nowadays, industrial structure upgrading is rising all around the word. Many countries are trying hard to develop strategic emerging industries. With great blossoming potential, strategic emerging industries have a strong driving power to relevant industries. They are of great importance to promote the comprehensive national strength, so there is a vast prospect for these industries.In the coming new period, China pay close attention to developing strategic emerging industries. So, we take Changshu as an case to study the competitiveness of these new industries. At the base of Industrial Economics, Regional Economis and Industrial Competitiveness theory, we build a model which contains17indexs to measure the competitiveness of the strategic emerging industries. With the help of first-hand data and the factor analysis method, we do a lot empirical research.We find that the five strategic emerging industries of Changshu are developing fast and have a good market performance, besides, they are making more contributions to local economic development. Specifically, they have remarkable advantage at industry size, capital utilizationand market occupancy. But we also find that these strategic emerging industries rely much on overseas market. If some unexpected changes happen, they will suffer a lot.To support the strategic emerging industries, we advise that the government should make great efforts to promote the independent research and development, to push forward the Park Economy, to enhance the integration of industry chains and to speed up the construction of the economic circumstance.
