ABSTRACT

Using the meta-frontier theory and the two-stage DEA model, taking the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry as an example, the measurement and analysis of high-tech industry technology research efficiency, achievement transformation efficiency and regional technology gaps in 2010-2014 are carried out, and the reasons for inefficiency are decomposed. The result shows that: the two-stage innovation efficiency is low and are obviously different in different provinces and groups. The average value of technology research efficiency is from “upstream to midstream to downstream”, and the achievements transformation efficiency is decreasing in “downstream- midstream -upstream”. The gap between groups is larger in technology research stage and there is an expanding trend. In general, internal management of enterprises is the main factor leading to the inefficiency of two-stage innovation.
