Abstract:This paper measures the innovation efficiency of high-tech enterprises in Ningbo and further analyzes their internal management level to provide data support for promoting their quality and efficiency. Taking 1667 high-tech enterprises identified in Ningbo in 2020 as the object, this paper uses the three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to build an evaluation index system of enterprise innovation efficiency based on quality indicators, including input indicators, output indicators and environmental variables, and conducts a multi-dimensional comparative analysis from the field and scale of enterprises.The results show that only 1.62% of high-tech enterprises in Ningbo have achieved the best innovation efficiency, and 75.7% of them have reached the general level or above. There is still much room for improvement in innovation efficiency. The number of enterprises with increasing economies of scale reached 1533. The external environmental factors have more significant constraints on innovation efficiency. There is redundancy and waste in innovation investment. The allocation of innovation resources is unreasonable. The innovation efficiency of enterprises in different technology fields and scales is obviously different. According to the analysis results, it is proposed that Ningbo should strengthen the "two hands" of high-tech enterprises to improve their quality and quantity, strengthen the whole process supervision, establish a coordination and linkage mechanism, and further improve the innovation ecology.
