Abstract

The real economy is the basis of the national economy, but for a long time, China's manufacturing industry still faces the dilemma of "big but not strong" and is basically locked at the low end of the global value chain. [1] The study on the inducing factors and mechanism of low-end lock-in in China's manufacturing industry will be of substantial significance for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. In this paper, we use the grounded theory and Nvivo11.0 qualitative analysis software to analyze different relatively literature and some Policy papers to reveal the inducing factors and action model of low-end lock-in in manufacturing industry. The results show that: The leading factors of Entrepreneurial incompetence and policy environment barriers, [2] the process factors of the capture and the blockade of developed countries and FDI, and the strengthening factor of path dependence all have a significant impact on the low-end lock-in of the manufacturing industry.
