Research On Development Mechanism Of Strategic Emerging Industry

The cultivation and development of strategic emerging industry is the focus of global economic growth, and the key measure to realize industrial upgrading, transform economic growth pattern. In addition, industry convergence as a new development trend has had a profound effect on economic and industrial growth. However, due to the difficulty of obtaining data, current researches on industry convergence still remain in the theoretical analysis of its connotation, classification, motivation and effect analysis and lack of empirical research on the internal mechanism of one specific industry's convergence development. Therefore, it has become an important problem needed to be solved to study strategic emerging industry's development mechanism from the perspective of industry convergence. By comprehensively applying the theories of industry growth, industry convergence and strategic emerging industry, from technology convergence, industrial restructuring and coopetition perspective empirically illustrate strategic emerging industry origin, expansion and performance improvement, besides demonstrates convergence expansion mechanism of strategic emerging industry. This study is of great significance both practically and theoretically, for it tries to make contributions to enriching the theories of industry economics and providing guidelines to strategic emerging industry development.This dissertation is constituted by eight chapters: Chapter one is Introduction; Chapter two tries to form the theory basis of strategic emerging industry convergence growth, by describing and integrating the classic theories of industry growth, industry convergence and emerging industry. Chapter three illustrates the reason why biochip industry is chosen as an example, world biochip technology and industry development process, data source and database establishment. From Chapter four to Chapter six, respectively, it gives empirical analysis on the emerging, expansion and performance enhancement of biochip industry, which explores the mechanism by the perspective of technology convergence, industry restructuring and competition collaborative in industry organization. Chapter seven based on previous emparical results extract dynamic mechanism, process mechanism and coordination mechanism of strategic emerging industry convergence development. Chapter eight makes a conclusion and prospects of the research.The main contributions are:(1) Revealing the microscopic mechanism of strategic emerging industry development based on large data sample and multiple case analyses. technology convergence emerging due to penetration and overlap between biotechnology and information technology, following by business convergence and market convergence, which induce the emerging of biochip industry; the appearance of biochip industry results in industry chain decomposition and reconstruction in information and biotech industry, following by rapid expansion of industry scale; the development of biochip industry leading to coopetition relationship established between information and biotech industry, speeding up the flows of system elements and improving biochip industry's performance.(2) Proposing a new convergence calculation of strategic emerging industry industry convergence degree, namely the diversity index measurement, based on industry and technology classification corresponding system(IPC-ISI) and applying it to measure the BI industry convergence degree. Compared with existing methods, it is more scientific and objective and suitable for strategic emerging industry convergence estimation. From 1998 to 2008 biochip industry convergence degree had been deepening and it went steady from 2009 to 2013; there existed a certain gap between biochip industry convergence degree of China and that of developed country such as the United State and Sweden.(3) Unveiling the dynamic mechanism, process mechanism and coordination mechanism of strategic emerging industry convergence development. Industry convergence is an important growth path for strategic emerging industry. Convergence development of strategic emerging industry is driven by technological convergence, industry restructuring, business model innovation and other factors, experiences the convergence process of scientific knowledge, technology, business and market; with the deepening of industry convergence, coopetition relationship will be established between different industries and performance will be increasingly improved.
