The Impact Of Servitizaiton Of China’s Manufacturing On The Promotion Of Its Global Value Chain Position

Relying on the advantage of labor cost,China’s manufacturing industry has actively integrated into the global value chain division system with developed countries as the core for a long time.Due to the lack of core technology and the lack of motivation for independent innovation,China’s manufacturing industry has been constrained by low value-added links such as international OEM.The technological revolution and industrial transformation triggered by the new generation of information technology around the world have accelerated the integrated development of manufacturing industry and service industry.Servitization has gradually become the main business model of new industrialization and an important starting point for the transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry and moving towards the high end of the global value chain.By combing the relevant research on global value chain position,R&D resource integration and servitization of manufacturing,and comprehensively using the theory of international division of labor,industrial integration theory and resource-based theory,this thesis analyzes the impact of servitization of China’s manufacturing on the promotion of its global value chain position,and expounds how the transformation of servitization promotes the integration of internal and external R&D resources in China’s manufacturing industry from the perspective of R&D resource integration.Considering the absorptive capacity of the industry itself,the regulatory variable of industry knowledge-base is introduced.In order to grasp the position of China’s manufacturing industry in the global value chain and the development process of servitization in the sample period,based on the calculation of the global value chain position index and complete consumption coefficient of manufacturing industry of the major economies in the world from 2004 to 2014,a comparative analysis is carried out at the national level and the domestic industry level.Finally,taking various industries of China’s manufacturing industry as the research object,the empirical method is used to test the mechanism and theoretical hypothesis of this thesis.The conclusions are as follows:(1)During the sample period,the change of the global value chain position of China’s manufacturing industry has experienced the rising stage from 2004 to 2006,the shock stage from 2006 to 2008 and the sharp recovery stage after continuous decline from 2008 to 2014,and the global value chain position of non-technology intensive industries is higher than that of technology intensive industries;(2)During the sample period,the servitization level of China’s manufacturing industry rose steadily,even surpassing some developed countries,but the gap between industries gradually appeared,which was mainly affected by the demand of the industry itself for “service elements”;(3)The servitization of China’s manufacturing industry has a significant positive impact on the promotion of its global value chain position,and the results will vary according to different manufacturing sectors and different sources of service factors;(4)By promoting the integration of internal and external R&D resources,China’s manufacturing can realize independent R&D,domestic cooperative R&D and international cooperative R&D under the action of servitization,and then climbs the global value chain;(5)The industry knowledge-base is not only conducive to the independent R&D and domestic cooperative R&D of China’s manufacturing industry,but also positively regulates the promotion of servitization to the independent R&D and domestic cooperative R&D of China’s manufacturing industry.Therefore,this thesis puts forward some policy suggestions,such as deepening industrial integration,accelerating digital construction,giving full play to service advantages and consolidating industrial knowledge base.
