This paper aims to construct the evaluation index system and model for the competitiveness of high-quality manufacturing development in China, and put forward pertinent suggestions. To this end, the evaluation index system was designed in reference to the input-process-output model of the systems theory; the entropy method was improved through analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and then combined with the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) into the improved entropy TOPSIS model. On this basis, the competitiveness of the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) in high-quality manufacturing development (HQMD) was evaluated with the panel data of 2013-2018, in terms of overall competitiveness, spatial and temporal trends, industrial landscape, and national ranking. The results show that: The overall HQMD competitiveness improved steadily, under the strong boost from two factors and slight constraint from two factors. In terms of space, the HQMD competitiveness was stronger in the east, with widening regional gaps; in terms of time, the HQMD competitiveness was improving across the board, especially in the central region. Five provinces maintain steady growth of HQMD competitiveness, and six provinces witnessed fluctuating growth. In the final manufacturing landscape, there were one leader, two subleaders, three supporters, and five followers. The YREB is the demonstration zone of China's HQMD, with 80% of its provinces falling in medium and high levels. Finally, several suggestions were presented to improve the HQMD competitiveness in the YREB. The research findings provide a good reference for policymakers to promote manufacturing and pursue sustainable development.

“…The emergence of high technologies has accelerated the sustainable transformation of manufacturing industry and moved traditional manufacturing away from labour intensive, low-skill jobs and low added value towards high-skill jobs, high value-added and high-quality production (Bell, 1973;Zheng et al, 2020). This relocation currently entails moving from low-tech to high-tech, calling for an increased importance of research and development and a higher share of associated expenditure in total expenditures (Kelley et al, 2004).…”

The paper examines the recent developments in the high-technology manufacturing sectors in the EU28 countries, focusing on the β-convergence of gross value added in the Manufacture of computers, electronic, and optical products, and the Manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations. We employ two dynamic panel models estimated using the system of generalized method of moments (GMM) to address the risk of an endogeneity bias. The panel data analysis indicates a higher convergence for the Manufacture of computer, electronic, and optical products at 16.4% compared to 2.2% for the Manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations, which is consistent with the existence of fewer barriers and higher exposure to competition in the case of the first analyzed sector. In the context of the role of the high-technology manufacturing industries as an engine of growth and the existing performance differences between the EU28 countries in terms of gross value added in the analyzed sectors, we investigated the β-convergence for two groupings EU15 and the new EU member states. We found that the new EU member states display a higher β-convergence rate than EU15, but also that they have a lower capital intensity. The result highlights the potential risk of some of the new EU member states becoming laggers in terms of the underlying factors behind gross value added as investment and labour force.

The purpose of the article is to study the dynamics of volumes and stability of the structure of energy resource consumption at manufacturing enterprises, the analysis of the technical readiness of energy systems to implement the ideas of digital transformation. As the main research methods used in this article there are the method of dipole energy analysis to determine the priority of types of energy carriers, the method of graphical visualization of data to find the release points of values from the zone of relative stability, the method of classifying objects to assign products to a group of objects on the level of energy sustainability. The article analyzes the current trends in energy consumption with the determination of the vector of sustainable energy consumption and the parameters of reserves for improving energy efficiency; prioritized separate types of energy production of petrochemical plants; the types of products were classified according to the level of sustainability of energy consumption with the establishment of control points having emissions of values from the zone of relative stability and unproductive consumption of energy resources; the high technical readiness of energy systems of manufacturing industries to automate production processes with the subsequent development of digital technologies has been proved.
