Research On The Innovation Ecosystem Evolution Of China’s Shipbuilding Industry Under Digitization

In the digital era,the emerging digital technology represented by the Internet of Things,artificial intelligence,cloud computing and big data is bringing about a subversive industrial change to traditional industries.Countries around the world are vigorously promoting the integration of emerging digital technology and newly advanced manufacturing technology,and vigorously developing advanced manufacturing,especially equipment manufacturing.The shipbuilding industry,as one of the key pillar industries of China’s "maritime power" strategy,is facing the tide of global digital shipbuilding.Only by grasping the opportunity and actively transforming,can it become a shipbuilding power in the world.Therefore,this paper tries to explore what factors will affect the evolution of the ecological innovation system of China’s shipping industry in the long river of digitization.Under the influence of the influencing factors,which periods did the evolution of the innovation ecosystem of China’s shipping industry go through? Under the circumstance of digital technology updating and iterating so fast,how to promote the better evolution of the innovation ecosystem of China’s shipping industry? In view of these problems,this paper carries on the following main research.First of all,in this paper,the digital,shipping industry,the industrial innovation ecosystem analyzes relevant concepts,China’s shipbuilding industry innovation under the digital ecological system boundary and structural elements were defined,and the digital China’s shipbuilding industry innovation ecosystem under a preliminary analysis on the dynamic evolution of below system evolution analysis of the influence factors and the study of the evolution.Secondly,this paper uses the qualitative research method of procedural grounded theory to identify the factors influencing the evolution of the innovation ecosystem of China’s shipbuilding industry under digitalization.According to the research and design process of programmed grounded theory,three levels of coding are carried out sequentially by collecting secondary data related to shipbuilding industry digitization,such as policies,literature and news interviews.Eight factors influencing the evolution of digital technology,digital concept,government guidance,market change,financial support,international technical standards,digital talents and industry organizations are identified,and theoretical saturation test is carried out to analyze how the factors influencing the evolution of the system under digitalization.At the same time,the core factors and their evolution are analyzed.Thirdly,combined with the connotation of digitalization and the evolution of digital technology,the matrix coding of the core evolution factors of digital technology is carried out to divide the digitalization process of China’s shipping industry.Meanwhile,based on the perspective of innovation ecosystem and closely combined with the second-hand text data collected,descriptive analysis is conducted on each evolution stage of innovation ecosystem of China’s shipbuilding industry under digitization,and the evolution characteristics of each period are summarized.Using text analysis method,the evolution process of innovation ecosystem of China’s shipbuilding industry under digitization is verified through word frequency statistics of 70 annual reports of representative listed shipbuilding enterprises.Finally,combining with the above under the digital study the evolution of China’s shipbuilding industry innovation ecosystem,influence factors and the status quo in the process of evolution from the system evolution two angles,is conducive to promoting China’s shipbuilding industry innovation ecosystem under digital orderly evolution of the enlightenment and the countermeasures and Suggestions,to promote digital under the organized evolution of China’s shipping industry innovation ecosystem.This article innovation ecosystem and the combination of shipbuilding industry background,using the grounded theory combined with the text analysis of research methods,under the digital shipbuilding industry in our country the influence factors of the evolution of innovation ecosystem is identification and analysis,and the number of China’s shipbuilding industry innovation ecosystem evolution analysis and verification.The research results provide reference for promoting the orderly evolution of the innovation ecosystem of China’s shipbuilding industry under digitalization and formulating the innovation development strategy of the shipbuilding industry.
