Finally, we find that the profitability is not strong for traditional publishing business which needs the transformation and upgrade of the profit model; the growth quality of main business income is not high and the economies of scale is not significant; the debt financing ratio is too low and the efficiency of the use of funds is poor; the learning ability and strain capacity need to be improved to keep the firm growth vigor.
