Abstract

Using the data of China industrial enterprises above designated size, this article examines the coupling relationship between R&D and performance. R&D and performance are regarded as two independent sub-systems. CRITIC method is used to objectively calculate the weight coefficients. The coupling coordination degree model is used to measure the relationship between R&D and performance. The results illustrate that the coupling relationship level of the 38 sectors of the industrial enterprises above designated size is relatively weak and 71.05 % sectors are on the condition of barely balance. 68.42 % sectors belong to the R&D lagging-type. And most of the moderate balance sectors belong to the performance lagging-type, while the moderate imbalance ones all belong to the R&D lagging-type.
