The empirical evaluation of Guangxi new manufacturing industry

Abstract

Confronting with many problems from environment, population and resource, new manufacturing industry is the hope for further economic development. However, for now, there is not an agreed evaluation system of new manufacturing industry. At the meantime, it is inadequate to empirical research in this domain. After researching some scholars' last research and analyzing actual manufacturing situation of Guangxi, the authors propose an evaluation system of new manufacturing industry. It is a four-dimensional evaluation system (Economy Benefit, R&D Capability, Energy-saving Efficiency and Environmental Protection Ability) and includes 19 secondary indexes. To guide further research, taking Guangxi as an empirical subject, this article evaluates Guangxi new manufacturing industry from different aspects and draws some conclusions by Using SPSS16.0 software to make principal component analysis. The contribution of this study is not only making an evaluation system but also providing reference to the Guangxi new manufacturing industry development path. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
