The Convergence of Information Industry and Manufacturing——An Analysis Based on Industry Performance

Based on the theories of industrial convergence, this paper firstly compared the convergence of manufacturing and information industry about main countries including China, and then analyzed its impact on the industry performance of the China's manufacturing. The main conclusions are as followed: The convergence of China's manufacturing and information industry is less than those of major developed countries; The industrial convergence shows positive correlation with the performance of manufacturing, and become new growth power to the performance of manufacturing; Market structure, ownership structure and industrial convergence react on the performance of manufacturing together; The open degree of market plays an important role on the performance of manufacturing, but doesn't show cooperation relation with industrial convergence. Therefore, we provide some implications of the convergence of industrialization and informationization.
