借鉴国内外相关研究,遵从科学性、系统性、动态性和可操作性原则,针对我国区域经济特点,从规模、市场、效率、成长、结构和创新6方面选取11个指标构建我国地区制造业竞争力评价指标体系,以省区为单位,从宏观层面划分我国地区制造业竞争力类型,旨在对不同类型区制造业竞争力的提升提供理论依据。研究表明:根据竞争力综合指数,1985年和2003年我国各省区制造业竞争力均可划分为最强、较强、一般、较弱和最弱五类;结合近20年来各省(市、区)制造业综合竞争力在全国的位次变化,可将其划分为高水平稳定型、较高水平波动型、低水平波动型和较低水平振动型四类;根据竞争力内部结构,可将其划分为绝对市场主导型、强创新弱市场型、规模-成长主导型、结构基本均衡型和结构特殊不均衡型五类。

Regional manufacturing industrial competitiveness is compositive capability of regional manufacturing industry between different regions which include effective product and service ability and predictive development capability.With market economic system as the foundation and the fast pace of economic globalization,Competitive Capability research has become a focus of concern of scholars.In China,manufacturing industry has become the main part of regional economy in recent years.Under such circumstances,the study on regional manufacturing industrial competitiveness(RMIC)is of great theoretical and practical importance. Since the early 1970s,the researches on RMIC in the developed countries have become more and more active in the official institutions,nongovernmental organizations and academic circles.China began its researches just in the early 1990s.Based on the competitiveness theory of regional manufacturing industries,and the understanding of the characteristics of RMIC,the affecting factors of RMIC are analyzed.The theoretical frame and model of appraising the competitiveness of regional manufacturing industry of China are constructed in accordance to the characteristics of China's regional economy and manufacturing industrial development.The evaluation system of RMIC which comprises 11 indexes is presented. Utilizing three different methods,the paper classified RMIC into five types from the provincial macroscopic point of view.Based on competitive manufacturing performance,the five types are the highest,higher,high,low,and the lowest.Based on competitive manufacturing performance,and combined with the change of national ranking of provincial RMIC from 1985 to 2003,four different types are diagnosed,which are the highest level and steady-going,high level and fluctuant,low level and fluctuant,and lower level and descendent.Some further research also presents five types on the foundation of interior structure of RMIC,which are absolutely market driving,strong innovation and weak market driving,size-growing driving,and RMIC balanced structure,RMIC specially unbalanced structure.
