A Research On The Construction Of Public Service Platform For Industrial Clusters

As an organizational form that industries of an enterprise aggregate and develop, industrial clusters have the characteristics of being specialized, flexible, embedded and network. Thus they can not only avoid the weakness of being overstaffed in the case of Ford model, but that of inadequate resources in the case of small and middle-scale enterprises, whereby the flexibility and the specialty of the small and middle-scale enterprises are often possessed by them. Consequently industrial clusters can bring forth industry competitive advantages within certain areas and promote the development of regional economy. Industrial clusters have become the important model for regional development and industrial patterns.In the development of industrial clusters, enterprises have certain common needs which, considered from the nature of the service, are of public product. Thus the development of industrial clusters will be greatly hindered as this public product won’t be provided by ordinary service enterprises oriented by profit-making. Hence there needs a specialized public service organization----public service platform of industrial clusters to offer the service of common needs to the enterprises and promote the development of industrial clusters.It is argued that the public service platform of industrial clusters should have accordingly specialized organizations to serve the common needs of different types. The public service platform of industrial clusters can be classified into three types of supporting systems from the perspective of market, industry and technology:market transaction platform, industrial self-organizational platform and generic technology service platform of industrial clusters, which are manifested in specialized market, industrial association and generic technology service platform. Specialized market provides public sales location and marketing channel for industrial clusters so as to enhance the marketing and sales of products in terms of circulation process; industrial association as the represent of enterprises in industrial clusters, not only inwardly offers comprehensive service to the enterprises within industrial clusters and exercise industry discipline but also outwardly act as their spokesman, safeguards the rights and strengthens the competitive advantages of industrial clusters; generic technology service platform of industrial clusters provides the service at the generic technology level so as to promote the researches and transfer of generic technology and develop the creative ability of industrial clusters.Based on the three systems found in public service platform of industrial clusters, the thesis makes an penetrating analysis of the nature, features and functions of specialized market, industrial association and generic technology service platform. It then put forwards the organizational modes and operating mechanisms of public service platform of various kinds, which is of great significance to the establishment of public service platform of industrial clusters.There are altogether five chapters besides the chapter of Introduction.The chapter of introduction mainly focuses on the cause and significance of the study, the line of thought, the frame and methodology of the thesis. It also makes a summary and evaluation of the related researches domestic and abroad.In chapter one The denotation, features and structuring of the public service platform of industrial clusters, the writer makes a definition to industrial clusters and the public service platform of industrial clusters, analyses the features and studies the supporting system and main constituents of the public service platform.In chapter two The construction of the market transaction platform of industrial clusters, the writer makes a study of the classification of the specialized markets in the industrial clusters, the basic features and functional advantages, summarizes the evolution of the special markets, analyses the union mechanism of industrial clusters with specialized markets and concentrates on the construction of the electronic business models for the specialized markets of the industrial clusters.In chapter three Industrial self-organizational platform, the writer analyses the features and functions of industrial associations in industrial clusters, the theoretical base of industrial association management, the objectivity and foundation of organization and construction of industrial associations in industrial clusters and puts forward the principles for organizational establishment, structures and operational mechanism in industrial associations of industrial clusters.In chapter four The construction of generic technology service platform of industrial clusters, the writer defines what is generic technology and its features, studies the supply principle of generic technology and government intervention, the spreading mechanism of generic technology of industrial clusters and makes claims on the establishment principle and organizational model of generic technology service platform of industrial clusters.In chapter five Conclusion and discussion, the writer sums up the main conclusions derived from the research in the thesis and points out the problems for further study.
