New contributions to academic, theory:

The thesis does clarifying new perceptions and ways of thinking on the sustainable development of the mechanics industry in the process of industrialization and modernization;asserting factors affecting the sustainable development of the mechanics industry;determining the necessary conditions for the sustainable development of the mechanics industry. The thesis confirms also the development performance is the nuclear, core factor of sustainable development. At the same time, it proposes the indicator system for assessing the sustainable development of the mechanics industry, in order to apply to the research on development of the mechanics industry in our country in the context of globalization and the development of the global industrial value chain.
