Besides, there are lots of problems appeared with the mining of coal all over the province. Rivers are badly polluted, and so is the air. Therefore, some methods should be put into action according to these problems. First, some enterprises should try their best to strengthen the independent innovation ability and collect market information as much as possible. Second, the government of Shanxi province should determine to integrate and reshuffle these coal enterprises

A definition and reasons

Economic transition means the transition of resources allocation and the mode of economic development, including the change of patterns, factors, and ways of the economic development. Nowadays, considering the present economic development’s situation in Shanxi, almost everybody in the province think that there should have a profound economic reform to improve its economy.

“As is known to all, the economy of Shanxi province has always been well developed because of the rich coal resource. However, the economy development has also been restricted at the same time.” Chunqing Yuan wrote th is in the newspaper. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of factors that deeply influence the economic development in Shanxi.

First and foremost, the strategies for economic development are no longer

suitable to requirements of its economic development. Since 1978 the whole macro-economic policy and developing strategy in Shanxi have always been focus on energy industry and infrastructure. In 1980, the Chinese government gave Shanxi province an orientation that is to develop the energy industry as the leading industry, especially the coal industry, centering on the goal of building energy resources and industrial bases. In the following ten years, although the Shanxi government had done a lot of things, such as the adjustment of industry overall arrangement and increase of the investment to agriculture and the cities’ infrastructure construction, the strategy for economic development of the whole province was still as before. Because of ignoring transferring the leading industry and tapping new sources of economic growth, the economy developed extremely slowly before the 21st century.

In addition, the economic level at each area is quite low as well as lacks economic development potential. Since 2000, various regions in Shanxi have made a progress in the adjustment of industrial structure. However, most areas still give priority to the secondary industry. In the past few years, only the industrial structure in Taiyuan city has improved a lot, and the third industry had comparatively developed fast, but in other cities, the industrial structure is unreasonable, the technical level is backward, the ability of technological innovation id poor, and the economic growth lacks potentiality.

Besides, the level of the structure of its economy is awfully low. It reflects in two aspects: Firstly, the economy depends greatly on resources. Secondly, the state-owned economy and the non-public sectors of the economy are not in harmonious proportions. The economic development might be restricted in the nearly future.

Apart from that, the strategies and ideas, which guide the economic development is conservative and out of date. For a very long time, the ideas guiding the economic strategies were coming from the idea of the planned economy, but not the market economy. What’s more, the brand consciousness in Shanxi is very light. It is well known that brand is born from the market economy and it can enormously develop the economy. Before 2005, China had produced 921 Chinese famous brands, but Shanxi produced less than one per cent of the total brands.
