Strategy Research On The Optimization Of Industrial Structure From Cost Advantages To Technology Advantages In China

The change of industrial structure is one of the most significant essence of modern economic growth. Adjusting and establishing rational industrial structure can enhance the economic and social development as well as material and cultural life of the people. The objective of industrial structure adjustment is to realize industrial structural optimization, during the process of which, more attention should be paid to evolution laws of industrial structure, whereas, not to leaping development. Most of the previously made research approve that China has been missing cost advantages. However, there is no agreement on whether we should build technology advantages, and it lacks the analysis of the effect of technology advantages in industrial structural optimization. This essay analyses the urgency of building technology advantages based on absorbing the anterior research fruit of other people, and addresses the necessity of industrial structural optimization under technology advantages to our country from four aspects: enhancing international competitiveness, lowering employment pressures, building great powers of human resources and realizing sustainable development. Further more, this paper points out the feasibility of building technology advantages. On the other hand, there are a great deal of obstacles in the transformation from cost advantages to technology advantages in light of the reality in our country, e.g., insufficient self-directed innovation, superficial combination of ITR, imperfect talent supporting system, incomplete innovative environment and inactive government. It is bound to refer to all respects of industrial structure to build technology advantages under these circumstances, and the optimization policies need to embody the combination of strategy and maneuverability. The essay advances the corresponding countermeasures of our country's optimization of industrial structure from cost advantages to technology advantages after the comprehensive analysis.The essay makes an use of theory concerning industrial economics and development economics, and employs methods such as comparative analysis, quantitative analysis together with qualitative analysis, and the combination of normative analysis and positive analysis to make a thorough and deep study of industrial structural optimization problem in China from cost advantages to technology advantages. The paper discusses along a logic line of"Theory-Actualities-Countermeasures", and the main contents are listed as below:The first part describes the purpose and significance of the selected subject, the current research situation both at home and abroad, the contents and arrangement of structure, as well as the innovation and deficiency of this paper.The second part introduces relative theories including the evolvement law of industrial structure and impact factors, the connotation and mechanism in optimization of industrial structure, and theory foundation for cost and technology advantages.The third part analyses the feasibility of industrial structural optimization from cost advantages to technology advantages in China. It points out that the change of industry development environment leads to a loss of cost advantages, and it is necessary to establish technology advantages in terms of industrial structural optimization. What's more, the paper suggests that it is necessary and feasible to build technology advantages in our country under consideration to every aspect of social and economic situation.The fourth part analyses obstacles in the transformation from cost advantages to technology advantages which are consist of enterprise, combination of ITR, talents training, innovation environment and government involvement. Only after finding out the reasons for problem and suiting methods to the situation, can it be possible to realize optimization of industrial structure.The fifth part puts forward corresponding policy of industrial structural optimization from cost advantages to technology advantages based on the former description. The conclusion is that the goal of industrial structural policy should be transferred from labor-intensive prevalence to technology-intensive prevalence in three industrial structure, and the proportion of the tertiary industry should be promoted step by step, in which technology-intensive service industry become priority. Center around the above aim, three industrial sectors need to comply with difference strategy, and the government need to perfect the approaches of establishing proper environment.
