Research on influencing factors and multiple driving paths of intelligent transformation in China’s manufacturing industry

Abstract

As the internal requirement of the development of China’s traditional manufacturing industry, intelligent transformation has gradually become the main goal of China’s regional manufacturing transformation. From the perspective of manufacturing value chain, this paper proposes a conceptual model of intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry. Taking 22 sample cities as cases, the paper uses fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method to identify the necessary factors of intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry and the configuration analysis of each factor combination, and then obtains three realization paths to promote intelligent transformation. The results show that intelligent technology innovation and intelligent industry investment are the necessary conditions for the intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry, and there are three configuration paths: collaborative R&D and processing, external factor driven and value chain climbing, which promote the intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry. This paper enriches the research on intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry from the perspective of value chain, and uses the qualitative comparative analysis method of fuzzy set to provide countermeasures and suggestions for the direction and path of intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry.
