Concept and Measurement Index System Construction of Manufacturing Industry Upgrade

Abstract

Industry transformation and update is the necessary way to new industrialization. Although industry update idea is concerned, there is lack of deep research on the idea and measurement evaluation methods. In this paper, starting from exploration of manufacturing industry upgrade idea and connotation, it is proposed that manufacturing industry upgrade is the updating process of manufacturing industry toward high value-added structures and links. On that basis manufacturing industry upgrade measurement index system is constructed from two dimensions, i.e. manufacturing industry structure goodness and value chain height, in order to provide reference for quantitative evaluation and measurement of industry development.
