Comprehensively ascending the industrial value chain and transforming the mode of economic development are not only the crucial issues of long-term sustainable development of the Yangtze River Delta but also particular measures for the implementation of the 17th CPC National Congress. As an achievement of long-term research on economic development in the Yangtze River Delta, the book is written with one basic guiding principle in mind, though, independently by different authors. The principle is that we ought to analyze the connection between the service industry, especially the modern service industry, and the economic development in the Yangtze River Delta, particularly the connection between the service industry and other critical economic variables, to discover the service industry's role, especially the modern service industry, in the economic growth, structural modification and institutional reform of the Yangtze River Delta. We used detailed normative and empirical research on topics such as the mechanism, measures, and performance of the modern service industry, as the focus of study, in ascending the industrial value chain, transforming the development mode and reaching harmonious economic development in the Yangtze River Delta.
