Single champion of manufacturing industry: Let enterprises move from "market champion" to "innovation champion"

The single champion enterprise of manufacturing industry is a company that has been focusing on certain specific segmented product markets in the manufacturing industry for a long time, has international leading production technology or technology, and has a single product market share that ranks among the top in the world. Since the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology first issued the "Special Action Plan for the Cultivation and Promotion of Individual Champion Enterprises in the Manufacturing Industry" in 2016, a total of 848 individual champion enterprises have been identified in 6 batches. They are the dynamic main body of innovation momentum, providing strong support for the realization of import substitution of key technologies and products, maintaining the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain, and building a new development pattern, becoming a strong force for China to build a strong manufacturing country.

Starting today, this newspaper launches a series of reports "Focus on Individual Champions Made in China", focusing on the top-level construction and strategic advancement of individual champions, far-reaching significance and realistic guidance, industry highlights and regional implementation, typical cases and outstanding experience, etc., to showcase the individual champions of the manufacturing industry The responsibility and responsibility of the enterprise has witnessed the great achievements of the individual champion enterprises in the manufacturing industry under the leadership of the party.

The individual champion of the manufacturing industry is an important symbol to measure a country's manufacturing foundation and development potential. It is absolutely leading in the subdivision of my country's manufacturing industry but is little known. However, it is shining brightly and has reached the peak of the world in the industry, showing the "fineness" of the safety of China's manufacturing industry chain. It not only provides a realistic sample for the realization of high-quality development, but also serves as a wind vane leading the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry.

"Strong" manufacturing concentrates on one industry, "bright" high-end sharpening the sword for ten years. Can you empathize with me? When a manufacturing company wins the title of "Individual Manufacturing Champion", it means that it has already entered the "Hero List". What kind of glory should it be?

Since the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology formulated the "Implementation Plan for Special Actions for the Cultivation and Promotion of Single Champion Enterprises in Manufacturing Industry" in 2016, all parts of the country have continuously strengthened the advocacy actions for individual champions in the manufacturing industry. The number of selected cases has increased, the coverage has expanded, and the regional distribution has gradually become more balanced. More importantly, the global market share of my country's single champion enterprises in the manufacturing industry is showing a trend of increasing year by year.

Ensure that Chinese manufacturing moves towards the middle and high end of the global value chain

At present, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation in the world is surging, and the "arena" of international competition and great power games has returned to the manufacturing industry. my country is transforming from a big manufacturing country to a strong manufacturing country. Vigorously cultivating and developing individual champion enterprises is not only the inherent development demand of the manufacturing industry, but also the requirement of the international environment. However, my country's manufacturing industry is "big but not strong" is still the key to high-quality growth. pain.

In 2015, the State Council requested that enterprises should be guided to establish the spirit of "sharpening a sword for ten years", focus on innovation and quality improvement, and let more individual champions lead Chinese manufacturing to the world. From 2017 to 2021, the Central Economic Work Conference repeatedly proposed to the manufacturing industry "to cultivate a group of pioneer enterprises with innovative capabilities", "to develop more high-quality enterprises", "to enhance the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, and to start a number of industrial foundation reconstruction projects. The project has inspired the emergence of a large number of "specialized, special and new" enterprises" and other important instructions, requiring the cultivation of world-class enterprises with global competitiveness, the cultivation of a group of pioneer enterprises with innovative capabilities, and the promotion of Chinese manufacturing to the middle and high end of the global value chain. However, many enterprises in our country with the potential to be champions in a single event have difficulty in overcoming the impulse to diversify in the development process, and have "full bloomed" in many fields and different industries, and have not "intensively cultivated" in their fields of expertise. Li Yizhong, president of the China Federation of Industrial Economics, pointed out that to vigorously revitalize the real economy, individual champions of the manufacturing industry are duty-bound and have the courage to take responsibility.

Promoting the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry under the global manufacturing revolution just hits the hot spot of China's manufacturing industry development. In 2016, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology formulated the "Special Action Plan for the Cultivation and Promotion of Individual Champion Enterprises in the Manufacturing Industry", and started the cultivation and selection of the first batch of individual champion enterprises in the manufacturing industry. Since then, all parts of the country have taken the cultivation of individual champions in the manufacturing industry as an important driving force, guiding the majority of enterprises to follow the development path of "specialized, special, high-quality and refined" individual champions, and continuously improving their independent innovation capabilities, specialization levels and core competitiveness: First, establish The second is to improve the cultivation system; the third is to strengthen policy support.

It is understood that the purpose of my country's cultivation of individual champions in the manufacturing industry is: first, to optimize the industrial organization structure; second, to break through key key areas; and third, to enhance the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. It is worth mentioning that winning the title of "Manufacturing Individual Champion" demonstration enterprise not only allows the enterprise to obtain realistic dividends, but also helps to expand the company's own popularity. In order to serve the selection, cultivation and service of individual champion enterprises in the manufacturing industry, the China Federation of Industrial Economics has successively established the Work Office for Individual Champions in the Manufacturing Industry, the Innovation and Development Service Platform for Individual Champion Enterprises, China Federation of Industrial Economics Enterprise Consulting (Beijing) Co., Ltd., and the Individual Champion Enterprises. Champion enterprise empowerment base.

The popularity of the individual champions in the manufacturing industry is particularly "bull", and the gold content of the individual champions in the manufacturing industry is particularly "high". All over the country, the "drums of war" to explore the way for a strong manufacturing country are beating frequently, accumulating energy to forge a "hard backbone" for high-quality economic development, and a group of "seed players" who are individual champions of manufacturing industry actively participate in it, and gradually become key technology leaders in the global industry. "Strugglers", "leaders" of subdivided industries, and "maintainers" of industrial chain security.

To revitalize the real economy, the single champion of the manufacturing industry is duty-bound

The single champion of the manufacturing industry is known as the "Pearl" on the crown of the manufacturing industry and the "spire" of the pyramid, which is of great significance to promoting the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. In the process of my country's rapid economic development, there are too many "big and comprehensive" enterprises, but for the manufacturing industry, the single champion enterprise that pays attention to the "artisan spirit" and takes the road of specialization will be the general trend of the development of the manufacturing industry. Because, as the most sophisticated, largest, and strongest company in a subdivided field, the single champion of manufacturing can master more competitive core technologies and break the monopoly of foreign industries. To a certain extent, it holds the voice and pricing power of the industry.

In June 2021, six departments including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of High-quality Enterprises in the Manufacturing Industry". , Preliminarily build a gradient cultivation system for high-quality enterprises, and form a gradient cultivation path of "specialized, special and new" small and medium-sized enterprises-specialized, special and new "little giant" enterprises-"manufacturing individual champion" enterprises-industrial chain leading enterprises. Under the guidance of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the China Federation of Industrial Economics organized various relevant industry associations to implement it. Up to now, six batches of 848 individual champion demonstration enterprises and champion product enterprises have been selected, which are distributed in machinery, electronic information, petrochemical, textile, and light industry. , nonferrous metals, building materials, steel, medicine, shipbuilding and other industries.

In order to sum up experience and give better play to the demonstration and leading role of individual champion enterprises, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the China Federation of Industrial Economics organized three "Manufacturing Individual Champion Experience Exchange Meetings" to promote champion enterprises to continue to give play to their advantages, promote exchanges and cooperation, and drive More enterprises have improved their development level. From the individual champions of the manufacturing industry, we can find the hard truth behind the growth of the individual champions: Although the individual champions of the manufacturing industry have no dazzling halo or amazing scale, they have never been shaken by the temptation of "earning quick money" in the real estate and capital markets. The industry does its part to "carry the handle" and "ride the wind and waves" in the complex economic situation.

The individual champions of the manufacturing industry are all "refined"

In today's fierce market competition, the single champion of the manufacturing industry is intended to encourage enterprises to focus on subdividing fields and markets, and to become the leader in a certain field. Facts have proved that behind the individual champions of the manufacturing industry are the stories of Chinese manufacturing companies that are committed to "specialization, quality, excellence", interpreting the "champion code", and the goal is to "stand out" and achieve "champions become forests". It can be seen that the individual champions of the manufacturing industry are going to the pinnacle of success and become industry leaders. They are all "refined". Enterprises must truly move from "market champions" to "innovation champions". First, enhance the "hard" strength of individual champions. Overweight the "soft" power of individual champions. However, with the continuous improvement of the social influence and attention of individual champions in the manufacturing industry, new and higher requirements have been put forward for the cultivation of individual champions.

■ On the one hand, it is necessary to guide enterprises to correctly understand the connotation and significance of individual champions, and constantly introduce new technologies and new ideas, so that enterprises that have become individual champions can further reduce costs and increase efficiency, enhance core competitiveness, improve anti-risk capabilities, maintain and consolidate leading position.

■ On the other hand, it is necessary to give full play to the demonstration and leading role of individual champion enterprises, and drive more seed companies that have not yet become individual champions to follow the development path of "specialization, specialization and innovation" and become new individual champions.

Wang Jiangping, a member of the party group and vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, proposed to intensify efforts and persevere in the cultivation and promotion of individual champions. The first is to guide enterprises to adhere to the path of specialized development and enhance the professional ability and level of enterprises. The second is to give full play to the technical advantages of individual champions and break through the shortcomings in key areas of the manufacturing industry. The third is to give full play to the role of the vanguard of the industry and drive the development of the upstream and downstream industrial chains. The fourth is to build a gradient cultivation work system to stimulate the innovation vitality of private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. The fifth is to guide the flow of production factors and create a good development environment. Xu Xiaolan, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has "four gradients" in cultivating small and medium-sized enterprises. The first gradient: innovative small and medium-sized enterprises with a large volume and wide range; the second gradient: "specialized, special and new" small and medium-sized enterprises; the third gradient: specialized, special and new "little giant" enterprises; the fourth gradient: manufacturing Industry single champion enterprise.

Under the new round of manufacturing trends, more and more provinces and cities in my country have joined the competition for individual champions of the manufacturing industry and the layout of cultivating individual champions of the manufacturing industry. Specialized special new "Little Giant" and individual champions are highlighted. However, there are still a number of "invisible" forces that lead the direction of the industry hidden in my country's manufacturing enterprises, which need to be further excavated, cultivated, and improved to guide manufacturing enterprises to establish brand awareness and realize the transition from "invisible" to "visible", which is widely recognized. known to the public. In this regard, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology proposed that in the future, it is necessary to lead and drive more manufacturing companies to take the development path of "specialized, special, high-quality and refined" individual champions. At present, the soil of individual champions is "flowers and trees are planted by hand", the seeds of individual champions are "rooted in the deep cliffs", and the ecology of individual champions is "a hundred flowers bloom in spring", which indicates that the strength of the individual champions in the manufacturing industry will be more competitive. Intense.
