企业社会责任、新质生产力与制造业价值链攀升OACHSSCD

The ascent of the manufacturing value chain represents a pivotal pathway for achieving in-dustrial upgrading and enhancing global competitiveness,holding strategic significance for driving high-quality economic development.Against this backdrop,this paper explores viable routes for manufactur-ing value chain advancement through the lenses of corporate social responsibility(CSR)and new quality productive forces.Using corporate data from listed manufacturing companies in China between 2013 and 2024,and employing a fixed-effects model for regression analysis,the empirical study found that:CSR and new quality productive forces exert a significant positive influence on manufacturing value chain upgrading,valid across all three dimensions of value chain length,breadth,and depth;new quali-ty productive mediates the relationship between CSR and manufacturing value chain upgrading.Further analysis indicates that the promotional effects of CSR and new type productive forces on value chain upgrading are more pronounced in state-owned enterprises and firms based in eastern China.Policy rec-ommendations include:refining the CSR evaluation framework;establishing a"New-Quality Productive Forces Innovation Fund";encouraging state-owned enterprises to continue spearheading technological innovation;accelerating industrial transformation,upgrading,and resource integration;reinforcing east-ern China's leading role;and fostering cross-regional collaborative innovation networks.
