We must complete macro-economic management systems, comprehensively and correctly implement government functions, optimize government organization and structuring, and raise scientific management levels.Based on the theories of market failure, innovation of system, new public administration, and industrial structure, this article starts with explaining topics such as the necessity of governmental involvement in the change and upgrade of industry, the relations of several aspects in accelerating the change and upgrade, and the specific functions, utilising research methods such as archive studies, social investigation, and data analysis.
