The real economy is the main source of national wealth,and manufacturing is an important component of the real economy.There is a significant gap between China’s manufacturing industry and developed countries’ manufacturing industry in terms of development quality,technological innovation ability,and information technology level.The lack of core competitiveness has always been the biggest obstacle to the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry.Manufacturing is an important industry in Guangxi,but compared to developed regions in China,the overall development is relatively lagging.Guangxi has abundant natural resource reserves,but most manufacturing industries are in the initial processing stage of natural resources,resulting in an awkward situation of low product added value,high homogenization level,and lack of market competitiveness.Therefore,in-depth research on the transformation and upgrading level of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry and its influencing factors is of great significance for solving the main problems in the development of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry and promoting it towards quality,efficiency,informatization,and advancement.Based on the above practical background,this article first refers to relevant research by domestic and foreign scholars to construct an evaluation index system for the transformation and upgrading level of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry.The entropy weight method is used to determine the weights of various indicators.Based on the research results,the innovation ability,information network,quality brand,green development scores,and comprehensive scores of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry are evaluated and analyzed.Empirical analysis shows that,firstly,the overall level of transformation and upgrading of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry from 2010 to 2019 is in a continuous upward trend,and the growth rate has an upward trend.The innovation ability is manifested in a "up down" cycle,with information networks showing a strong upward trend after 2017.Quality brands have been on the rise,with minimal fluctuations in green development,showing a small upward and then downward trend.Secondly,in the evaluation index system for the transformation and upgrading of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry,the central task,key points,core driving force,and important focus of the transformation and upgrading of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry are innovation ability,information network,quality brand,and green development.Thirdly,the main influencing factors for the transformation and upgrading of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry are information networks,quality brands,innovation capabilities,and green development,indicating that the level of information networks in the manufacturing industry plays a key role in the transformation and upgrading process of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry.Secondly,a theoretical framework for the transformation and upgrading of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry is constructed from a micro perspective.Through fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis,empirical analysis is conducted on the factors that affect the transformation and upgrading of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry from organizational,management,and environmental dimensions.Research has shown that,firstly,the six factors of enterprise scale,technological innovation,human capital,overconfidence of executives,tax burden,and financing constraints have a synergistic effect,jointly affecting the transformation and upgrading of enterprises.Moreover,none of the three dimensions alone can constitute a necessary condition for enterprise transformation and upgrading.Secondly,there are three configuration paths for the impact mechanism of efficient transformation and upgrading of enterprises,namely scale innovation driven,tax financing driven,and innovation tax promotion efficient transformation and upgrading paths.There are two configuration paths for the impact mechanism of inefficient transformation and upgrading of enterprises,namely the innovation talent obstruction type and the innovation financing inhibition type of inefficient transformation and upgrading path.Thirdly,the impact mechanism of efficient transformation and upgrading of enterprises has 6 configuration paths,while the impact mechanism of inefficient transformation and upgrading of enterprises has 4 configuration paths.By comparing the two,it can be concluded that there is no obvious causal symmetry between the two in terms of quantity or content.Finally,based on the empirical analysis results,countermeasures and suggestions are proposed to promote the transformation and upgrading of Guangxi’s manufacturing industry from three aspects: enhancing the innovation capacity of the manufacturing industry,promoting the integration of manufacturing and information technology development,and promoting green development of the manufacturing industry through energy conservation and emission reduction. |
