Research On Technological Innovation Efficiency Evaluation Of Iron And Steel Enterprises And Upgrade Path

The iron and steel industry is the important pillar industry of national economicdevelopment, after decades, it has become the leading of industrial modernization.However, the iron enterprises are being faced with important challenges in the internationalmarket, with fewer high value-added products, lower investment proportion of scientificresearch and technology innovation level, meanwhile, low utilization of resources andenergy,overcapacity, uncoordinated between industry and environment, and so on, directlyaffecting their competitiveness and the sustainable development of industry. As the ironand steel industry" twelfth five-year "plan，it has been the new direction in the new period,that strengthening the independent innovation ability, improving the technology innovationefficiency, establishing and improving the independent innovation system. The promotedevelopment with technology and rely on innovation for progress, is the key to realizesustainable development of steel industry.Based on the micro enterprise, this article selects Tangshan iron and steel co., LTD., asthe main research object, and evaluates its technology innovation efficiency with DEAmodels, from1998to2012, showing that its overall efficiency stayed in higherlevel,tended to be more stable in recent years compared with the ups and downs at theearlier, and had stronger ability in technology research and development, innovation andapplication, etc,, yet, its scale efficiency restricted to the overall efficiency, to a certainextent. For the comprehensive efficiency analysis, this paper makes the comparisonevaluation with Tanggang iron and others in2012, respectively using DEA CCR, BCC andsuper efficiency model, finding that Pangang, Shougang, Wuhan and Chongqing ironreached the DEA effective,with the relative effectiveness of input and output, meanwhile,in the analysis of BCC slack variable, there were many redundant inputs, and differentdegree of resources waste. In the super efficient sorting, Shougang obtained the first place,Wugang coming second, and Tanggang top fifth. After the comprehensive evaluation,thispaper further studies the external factors of input and output efficiency, and makesregression analysis of the economic scale, industrial structure, innovation environment(including laborer quality and government support)，innovation foundation, using the DEAand Tobit, drawing that laborer quality of innovation environment has significant positivecorrelation with the innovation efficiency, government support of innovation environmentand upgrade of industrial structure positive correlation, but not significant. Finally,according to the effective evaluations and regression analysis of factors, this paper makesdetailed analysis of its technology innovation system and operation mechanism, combinedwith the system efficiency and system control idea, proposes the upgrade paths to promoteinnovation efficiency from system structure adjustment and management coordination, andstudies the operation mechanism from industrial structure adjustment and innovationenvironment optimization, thus, realizes the paths explore to the system technologyinnovation efficiency and running mechanism...
