hmere industry has only developed for a short time, comparing with the European long-term established firms Chinese cashmere firms has large disparity in the aspects of technical innovation and product marketing. Meanwhile, the capacity of independent innovation is imbalanced across cashmere firms in China---large firms put considerable investment on technical innovation whereas small and medium ones invest inadequately and lack of creativeness. Although some Chinese cashmere firms has started the research in the field of dyeing and spinning, some key technologies still have not been grasped unlike in developed countries.
从先进因素来看，中国羊绒企业的自主创新能力有待提高。由于中国羊绒行业的发展时间很短，与欧洲长期建立的公司相比，中国羊绒公司在技术创新和产品营销方面存在很大差距。同时，中国羊绒企业的自主创新能力不平衡——大企业在技术创新上投入了大量资金，而中小企业投资不足，缺乏创造力。尽管一些中国羊绒公司已经开始了染色和纺纱领域的研究，但与发达国家不同，一些关键技术仍然没有掌握。
In contrast, Todd & Duncan provide the evidence that advanced factors is significant for gaining competitive advantage. Todd & Duncan was founded in 1867, and now it has become the European leading cashmere yarn knitting firm, which provide cashmere yarn with most fashionable colours to luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton , Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Herms and Christian Dior. Todd & Duncan are well known for its production technologies. As far back as it was founded, Todd & Duncan were in the lead in the field of cashmere blending yarn. Now it is still well known for its manufacturing technique in single strand. Collaborative with the most advanced textile technologies, it produces the finest and noblest yarns. In addition, in Todd & Duncan, computer assisted programmes are used in dyeing procedure such as colour management. High-tech facilities like colour matcher are also used to check the colour accuracy, which is in the lead position of the industry (todd-duncan 2010).
相比之下，托德邓肯提供了先进因素对获得竞争优势至关重要的证据。托德邓肯成立于1867年，如今已成为欧洲领先的羊绒纱线针织公司，为路易威登、古驰、普拉达、香奈儿、爱马仕和克里斯汀·迪奥等奢侈品牌提供最时尚的羊绒纱线。托德邓肯以其生产技术而闻名。早在成立之初，托德邓肯就在羊绒混纺纱领域处于领先地位。现在，它仍然以其单线制造技术而闻名。它与最先进的纺织技术合作，生产出最优质、最高贵的纱线。此外，在托德邓肯，计算机辅助程序用于染色程序，如颜色管理。颜色匹配器等高科技设备也用于检查颜色精度，这在行业中处于领先地位。
Review back to 1980s, it is because paying attention to the advanced factor such as processing technology, Chinese cashmere industry could take a turn. In 1980s, some cashmere firms led by Erdos Cashmere Group and Snowlotus Cashmere Group first introduced the most advanced cashmere carding machines and carding process from Japan. After learning the process and making further processing technology improvement, Chinese carding technique of goat cashmere made a qualitative leap, and the dehaired cashmere made-up rate and quality exceeded the international level. Thus, it enhanced Chinese cashmere industry into a new age (China International Cashmere Forum 2005).
回顾上世纪80年代，这是因为关注加工技术等先进因素，中国羊绒行业可能会出现转机。20世纪80年代，以鄂尔多斯羊绒集团和雪莲羊绒集团为首的一些羊绒公司首次从日本引进了最先进的羊绒梳理机和梳理工艺。经过对工艺的学习和进一步加工技术的改进，我国山羊羊绒梳理技术取得了质的飞跃，脱绒羊绒的补绒率和质量均超过国际水平。因此，它使中国羊绒产业进入了一个新时代。
From the examples of Todd& Duncan and Erdos Cashmere Group, it can be seen that Chinese cashmere industry should not only rely on the resources advantage. The rapid development of Chinese cashmere industry in the past 30 years mainly manifested the growth of cashmere firm numbers. When the industry enters into autumn, this kind of growth will be certainly restricted by the finiteness of the cashmere resources. The industry will be increasingly detailed classified into small sections which ask for higher production specialization degree. Therefore, Chinese cashmere firms must enhance the technology innovation capacity and improve the scientific and technological contents and added value for the cashmere products in order to gain competitive advantage in global competition. However, there are some barriers for Chinese cashmere industry enhancing the technology innovation. For small and medium cashmere firms, they have blockage in financing channels that cannot obtain adequate innovative resources. Additionally, the constructions of technology innovation infrastructure, inv
