Abstract
In order to strengthen the guiding and supporting role of the innovation-driven development strategy, and to promote the structural optimization and efficiency improvement of the equipment manufacturing industry, this paper analyzes the structure, function and characteristics of the regional equipment manufacturing industry innovation network, and proposes a conceptual model and theoretical hypothesis that the innovation network based on the mediating effect of innovation capability affects the upgrade effect of the regional equipment manufacturing industry. Through a questionnaire survey of 219 enterprises in my country’s equipment manufacturing industry and structural equation model verification, it measures the action path and industrial upgrading law of innovation network influencing regional equipment manufacturing industry upgrading.
Highlights
Our country is a large manufacturing country rather than a powerful country
Domestic and foreign scholars mostly focus on the research of industrial upgrading from the perspective of global value chain, but have little involvement in the endogenous industrial upgrading driven by regional roots and industrial characteristics advantages; in addition, a few scholars are focusing on the industrial upgrading path, but has not systematically given a specific industrial upgrade path design method, which is insufficient to guide industrial development and upgrading practice
The stronger the network relationship, the more conducive to the interaction of node resources and the development of collaborative innovation activities, accelerating the generation and integration of innovations such as knowledge and technology, and promoting the main body carries out product, process and business model innovation activities to continuously improve innovation capabilities.Based on the above analysis, this article proposes the following hypotheses: H3a: Network relationship strength is positively correlated with product innovation; H3b: Network relationship strength is positively correlated with process innovation; H3c: Network relationship strength is positively correlated with business model innovation. (5)The influence of network relationship stability on innovation ability
Summary
Our country is a large manufacturing country rather than a powerful country. the equipment self-sufficiency rate reaches 85%, it is mainly concentrated in the low-end market, and high-end equipment still relies on imports. Intensified global market competition has promoted domestic industrial upgrading[3], but industrial upgrading is restricted by factors such as knowledge stock, technical capabilities, and regional characteristics. Domestic and foreign scholars mostly focus on the research of industrial upgrading from the perspective of global value chain, but have little involvement in the endogenous industrial upgrading driven by regional roots and industrial characteristics advantages; in addition, a few scholars are focusing on the industrial upgrading path, but has not systematically given a specific industrial upgrade path design method, which is insufficient to guide industrial development and upgrading practice. This paper systematically studies the impact of innovation drivers on the upgrading of regional equipment manufacturing industries from the perspective of networks, in order to give full play to the role of innovation-driven guidance and support and improve the upgrading efficiency of the regional equipment manufacturing industry
