A study on the strategic priorities of large-scale instrument open sharing for promoting sustainable development of regional industries: a SWOT-AHP-SSI model
Abstract
Against the backdrop of continued national and local policies promoting the open sharing of large‑scale instruments, there remains a lack of systematic methods that simultaneously address strategic identification and priority ordering for improving sharing service effectiveness and fostering sustainable regional industrial development. This paper constructs a hybrid SWOT‑AHP‑SSI model, combining policy analysis and case studies to extract the key internal and external factors influencing the open sharing of large‑scale instruments. Through expert evaluation and the analytic hierarchy process, it quantifies the weights of the SWOT dimensions and 18 sub‑factors, and then employs the Strategy Strength Index to prioritise the four strategy types (SO, ST, WO, WT) and their combinations. The results show that existing policy support and advanced technologies were identified as the main strengths in this study, while digital transformation and regional coordination were identified as key opportunities. Among the strategies, the SO strategy had the highest priority (SSI = 0.5770), indicating that, according to the aggregated judgments of the expert sample in this study, promoting open sharing through the synergy of policy, technology, and digitalization has a relatively high priority. Meanwhile, the deficiencies in management mechanisms and information platforms may need to be further addressed through institutional improvement and digital construction. This study offers decision‑making references for optimising large‑scale instrument sharing policies, enhancing platform governance effectiveness, and supporting regional industrial innovation and upgrading. It should be noted that this study is based on a limited number of expert samples, primarily from eastern China, and the conclusions remain exploratory, warranting further validation in broader regional and cross‑national contexts.
