Research on Improving Innovation Capability of Chinese Marine Equipment Manufacturing Industry

Abstract

Marine equipment is an important measure to support China’s construction of a marine power, as stated in the report of the Chinese Communist Party’s 20th National Congress on “developing the marine economy, protecting the marine ecological environment, and accelerating the building of a marine power”. In recent years, China’s marine equipment industry has developed rapidly, but there are still some problems. The industry is large but not strong enough. And the basic theoretical innovation and core key technologies are difficult to meet the needs of national strategic development. Based on Schumpeter’s innovation theory, this paper investigates the innovative ability of product innovation, process innovation, demand innovation, supply chain innovation and production organization innovation in China’s marine equipment manufacturing industry, and on the basis of summing up three kinds of innovative drive modes, put forward seven developing paths for the development of China’s marine equipment manufacturing industry.
