The relationship among horizontal knowledge spillovers, technology embedded innovation and industrial structure coordination——A study by taking the manufacturing industry of China as an example

Abstract

Abstract: As the backbone and key driving force for the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, technological innovation has always played a role in changing the ratio between industries and changing the structure of industrial demand, and efficiently transforming traditional industries in China, promoting the formation of emerging industrial sectors. Then the proportion of industries has gradually become more coordinated. The optimization and upgrading of regional industrial structure is a reliable guarantee for the sustainable development of technological innovation. The improvement of technological innovation capability caused by knowledge spillover has become the main way to promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. Based on this, we subdivide technological innovation and industrial structure optimization and upgrading, examine the interaction between technological embedded innovation and industrial structure coordination, and analyze the impact of technological embedded innovation on industrial structure coordination.
This paper puts forward the concept of technology embedded innovation and quantifies it. Firstly, it explores the driving mechanism of technology embedded innovation to drive industrial structure coordination, and then selects the industrial enterprise data of China′s sub-sectors from 2003 to 2015. Based on internal and external driving factors under the driving mechanism, this paper constructs a horizontal knowledge overflow space weight matrix and deeply analyzes the spatial effect of technology embedded innovation to drive industrial structure coordination under horizontal knowledge spillover. The contributions of this paper are as follows. Firstly, the concept of technology embedded innovation is proposed and quantified, and the conceptual model and symbiotic evolution model are built to explore the internal mechanism of technology embedded innovation to drive industrial structure coordination. Secondly, the horizontal knowledge overflow space weight matrix is constructed to explore the spatial dynamic autoregressive effect of technological embedded innovation driven industrial structure coordination under horizontal knowledge spillover. Finally, through the analysis of spatial heterogeneity and spatial correlation, the spatial autoregressive model is constructed to deeply explore the reasons for the spatial effect of technological embedded innovation driving industrial structure coordination.
Finally, the paper draws the following conclusions. Firstly, it explains the mechanism of technology embedded innovation to drive the industrial structure coordination, and believes that technology embedded innovation and industrial structure coordination will positively promote economic growth. And the interaction between the two in the time dimension and the spatial dimension will form a cyclical effect of time and space. Then, it explores the reasons for the formation of such a cyclic interaction loop, points out that internal drivers such as human resources, technological innovation strategies and funding resources, and external drivers such as government support, technological progress and market competition are the realization of technological embedded innovation-driven industrial structure coordination. The driving force and pulling power of the symbiotic evolutionary system, the interaction between the two promotes the positive development of the system. Finally, it analyzes the reasons for the spatial effect of technology embedded innovation driving industrial structure coordination, mainly because of the heterogeneity and relevance of industrial structure coordination at the spatial level. The results show that the spatial effects of technical embedded innovation driven industrial structure coordination under the horizontal perspective of the global perspective (42 industrial sectors) and the local perspective (three major industry segments) are significantly positive.
In summary, this paper explores the interrelationship between technological innovation and industrial structure optimization and upgrading from a more detailed perspective. The conclusion helps to better analyze the impact of China′s manufacturing technology embedded innovation drive industry structure coordination. Based on this, the following suggestions are proposed. Firstly, the planning and construction of technological innovation bases are accelerated. Building enterprises or industrial clusters in technology embedded innovation bases will help to achieve the autonomy of enterprise innovation, enhance the endogenous growth momentum of regional enterprises or industries, stabilize the internal and external driving forces of enterprise development, and promote the steady development of regional industries under technological embedded innovation. Secondly, three industries are rationally planned and the three industrial structures are optimized. Transforming traditional industries through technological innovation, promoting mergers and reorganizations of enterprises, and allocating production factors to advantageous enterprises, which is conducive to enhancing the concentration of enterprises. Thirdly, innovative mechanisms are fostered to enhance the endogenous growth capacity of the drive system. In the embedded innovation of technology, the tax reduction and exemption of technology development by governments at all levels has a positive impact on the coordination of industrial structure. In the process of technological innovation, the market order is maintained by strengthening government supervision, and then the innovation mechanism is cultivated.
