Report Highlights

In 2008, in the face of complicated international economic situation and slump in export demand, while completing capital construction and layout, China's software parks adhered to diverse development strategy, focusing on local software R&D and software outsourcing for overseas clients.

We establish an index system for assessing the investment environment competitiveness of China's software parks, namely infrastructure competitiveness, industry ecosystem competitiveness, management service competitiveness, feature policy competitiveness and technological innovation competitiveness. Industry ecosystem competitiveness and technological innovation competitiveness are the most important part of mature software parks' attraction, followed by infrastructure competitiveness and management service competitiveness. Backed by full and accurate data, the report depicts changes in software parks in 2008 from various angles, and reflects the industry's development trend.
To cope with intensified competitions and challenges from a changing market, the 2008-2009 Annual Report on Investment Environment Competitiveness of China's Software Parks released by us will help firms, investors, and users more clearly and accurately grasp the investment environment of China's software parks and comb the investment value deeply.
*?Outline main software parks' competition performance in 2008, sum up enterprises' successes and failures and assess the elements for market leadership from the perspectives of services quality, satisfaction of demand and investment environment.
* In relation to the trend of changes in national industry policies, make in-depth quantitative forecast for the software industry and market, conduct an overall evaluation of software parks' measures to develop the software industry and rank them accordingly.
* Analysis of the driving and hindering factors on software parks' investment environment competitiveness and user demand.
