Construction Of Industry Technology Absorptive Capacity Evaluation Model And Its Application

Technological absorptive capacity(ACAP) has important influence on the formation of new comparative advantages,the realization of industrial upgrading transformation and the establishment of the independent innovation ability,and it’s also major determinant for shortenning the gap with developped countries.To optimize the innovation ability and technical level of our country,distraction in various industries and fields is not feasible,instead,we should achieve gradually following key direction.Therefore,it’s necessary to establish scientific criteria helping us find out the appropriate direction and sequence.On the industry level,this paper built an effective and objective method to evaluate each industry’s ACAP,thereby make sure the right direction and step.Through in-depth analysis of the connotation and denotation of ACAP concept,clear the differences and relations between related concepts such as technological absorptive capacity and technological innovation capacity,combing the existing related literature at home and abroad,making trade-offs of ACAP on enterprise level and national level.Then we find out that accumulation of R&D,as well as the scientific manpower is the main factors influencing the industry ACAP.We bring in C-D production function model tentatively,then build up the industry level ACAP method,strive to make the quantitative analysis of ACAP more close to it’s qualitative concept in a simple way.Using this model, we made quantitative evaluation analysis of Chinese industries’ technological absorptive capacity.We found that:1)significant difference esists among industries’ ACAP in our country;2)chemical industry and machinery manufacturing industry in our country have higher level of ACAP,and the level has a growth trend;3)the mass consumer industry and metal machining industry in our country possess high levels of ACAP,but the level is falling;4)the exploitation of mineral resources and energy supply industry in our country is in the low level of ACAP,but the level has a growth trend;5)the plant resources machining industry of our country has a low level of ACAP,and the level is falling;6)industries who possess higher ratio of capital and labor,higher added value or higher efficiency of energy use pretend to be higher in ACAP than the lower ones.Based on these,combined with the existing theory and literature,we got policy suggestions as follows:firstly,fo different types of industry in our country,the government should keep separate and targeted industry policy.Secondly,for chemical industry,machinery manufacturing,mass consumer and metal machining industry,the government should maintain a high degree of opening to the outside world,to give play to their high level of ACAP,others in the opposite.Thirdly,for the mass consumer, metal machining, mineral resources exploitation and energy supply industry,our government should set up encourage policy in science and technology,in order to change their ACAP trend.Finally,our government should focus on cultivating industries which have higher capital labor ratio,higher energy efficiency and higher added value,in order to realize sustainable development.
