A Study On The IT-driven Industrialization Development Strategies Of Shandong Province

In the background of globalization and IT development, Shandong Province, an influential economic and agricultural region in China, is facing both the industrialization and the informationization challenges. Therefore, this paper devotes to the study on how to catch up with the latest IT development tendency, how to integrate IT with industrialization process, how to establish an IT-driven industrialization strategy for Shandong Province, hence to expedite the economic structure optimization and social productivity leapfrogging development in Shandong, making Shandong transform from a sizable economy to a powerful economy.Through relating theories with practice and taking advantage of both quantitative and qualitative methods, this paper discussed systemically the IT-driven industrialization strategy of Shandong, providing theoretical and practical guide for further study.This paper includes 6 chapters:Describe what is informationization, industrialization and IT-driven industrialization; why IT-driven industrialization strategy -- a so-called "Bless to the late comer" strategy -- is the wise choice of developing countries.Summarize the social development system dynamics theories and social productivity development process; analyze the foundational principles of the IT-driven industrialization strategy; address the feasibility and inevitability of the IT-driven industrialization strategy as well as the realization routes. Compare the IT development status and tendency in the foreign countries, collect enough IT-driven industrialization implementation experience of other nations.Study the industrial development and IT industry status quo of Shandong; raise the IT-driven industrialization implementing problems in Shandong. Based on the above researches, conduct a feasibility analysis on IT-driven industrialization strategy in Shandong Province; forecast the industrial development tendency of Shandong by means of extrapolate and exponential smoothing.
