The role of knowledge and technology in economic and social development has become increasingly prominent and innovation has become the core driving force.Under the general trend of transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry,Anhui Province is facing the problems,such as insufficient R&D investment,weak talent foundation,poor independent innovation ability and the lack of financial support.How to enhance the innovation driving ability of Anhui province and realize the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry has become a hot issue.This paper is based on an innovation-driven perspective,taking manufacturing industries in Anhui Province as the research object,and systematically analyzing its influencing factors.Through empirical analysis,it studies the major factors affecting the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing.Considering that the innovation drive is a complex power system,this paper uses the method of setting index system to study the innovation drive,quantitatively analyzing the innovation driving situation in Anhui Province using the entropy method.It shows that the driving ability of innovation in Anhui Province has been rising.The change in investment is most significant,while the improvement of the innovation service environment is relatively insufficient,totally the strength of technological innovation has been greatly improved.Considering that there may be a linear correlation between the indicators,a combination of factor analysis and linear regression is used to set up a number of different regression models to make deep study.The results show that the selected variables have a positive impact on the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing.Among them,the scientific and technological factors are the most significant.Although environmental factors are less effective than science and technology factors,it also have a positive effect.Second,capital and labor factors in Anhui Province help boost the development of manufacturing industries.Based on the empirical research results,the article concludes with reference to the development experience of UK,Germany,and domestic pre-eminent cities in order to give some suggestions including increasing investment,improving scientific and technological innovation capabilities and improving the service environment for innovation,etc. |
