The measurement of innovation capability for Chinese automobile industry

Abstract

Abstract: Promoting innovation capability of automobile industry is a key to achieve the transition from a big automobile manufacturing to a strong automobile manufacturing for China. And to measure the trend and international level of innovation capability and analyze innovative development environment. is important for promoting Chinese Automobile Industry (CAI) innovation capability. Some researches on industrial innovation at home and abroad are summarized based on industrial innovation capability, the concept of industrial innovation capability is put forward, the measuring indicators of CAI innovation capability are built up, and the innovation strength and the innovation effectiveness as well as the innovative development environment of CAI are analyzed. The results are come out as follows: (1) both the innovation strength and the innovation effectiveness maintain a quick growth; (2) there is a big gap between innovation capability of CAI and that of major automobile manufacturing countries; (3) the innovation scale of the leading enterprise is the prominent problem; (4) the foundation for building innovation capability enviroment of CAI is weak.

Key words: automobile industry, innovation capability, measurement
