Abstract: According to developmental requirements of the new type industrialization path, Talent is the fundamental to lead the transformation and development of manufacturing industry through innovation. Based on traditional industry update theory the concept of manufacturing industry upgrade is proposed. And the indices of manufacturing industry upgrade are built from both dimensions, i.e., manufacturing industry structure goodness and value chain height. The measurement results on Yangzi Delta manufacturing industry upgrade show that the manufacturing industry upgrading degrees of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are gradually improving. A multiple linear regression model is established to analyze the influence of the factors on manufacturing industry upgrade .The research results show that the influence of those economic development modes relying on export-oriented, investment-driven and especially government investment-driven on manufacturing industry upgrade is limited; the improvement of human resource quality is the only driving factor of manufacturing industry upgrade. Furthermore the policies to promote manufacturing industry upgrade are analyzed from the aspects of personnel training, R&D investment and brand strategy.

摘要： 按照新型工业化道路的发展要求，人才是创新驱动并引领制造业转型发展的根本。基于传统产业升级理论提出“制造业高级化”概念，并从制造业结构优度和价值链高度两个维度构建制造业高级化指数。对长三角制造业高级化的测度结果显示，上海、江苏、浙江制造业高级化程度正在逐渐提高。建立多元线性回归模型分析人力资源素质对制造业高级化的影响，研究结果表明，人力资源素质的提高是长三角制造业高级化的关键驱动因素；依靠外向型、依靠投资驱动尤其是政府投资驱动的经济发展方式，对制造业高级化的作用有限。依据研究结果从人才培养、研发投入、品牌战略等方面提出了推进长三角制造业高级化的政策建议。
