Study On The Framing & Evaluation Of The Innovation Eco-system And The Second-round Development Of The EDZs

The establishing and developing of economic development zone (EDZ) in China have a far-reaching influence on Chinese industrial structure and economic prosperity. In the past 20 years, EDZ has made notable achievements and rich experience. In construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics, EDZ serves as a window opening to the outside world and plays a positive role of demonstration, radiation, and impetus.As a special case of regional economy, the EDZ presents different features in its different developing phases. In order to enhance the development power of EDZ, this dissertation, on the basis of the first-round development, brings forward the concept of Second Round Development together with some related theory and pattern. This dissertation, on the basis of the former study on EDZs, analyses the ecology character of EDZ innovation system. In the light of its systematicness and organism, it make a new theory frame related to EDZ operation mechanism in which the theory of regional economy, industry and ecology are combined. Using the experience of former researches for reference, an innovation ecosystem model is built and design questionnaire is made aiming to evaluate the operation state of EDZ innovation ecosystem. Involved method of fixing quantity and quality are adopted, eco-factors that affect the operation of EDZ innovation ecosystem are analyzed. Niche analysis method is used to find out the possible problems that may affect the innovation development of enterprises during the second round development of EDZ. And then via forming and developing the innovation and development niche of the enterprises in the zones, some related solutions are brought forward to solve problems during the second round development of EDZs. The above analyses are of significance for the contribution to both theory and practice.Having summed up research theories on EDZ, we pondered the development practices in different phases of EDZ and theoretically analyzed the existing problems during the Second Round Development. This dissertation, on the basis of discussion about the regional innovation theory, shapes a new mode and inducts the theory of Innovation Ecosystem, with the definition and comment on it. Comparing innovation ecosystem with natural ecosystem, this dissertation brings forward the theory of Regional Innovation Eco-niche, and tries to do some optimizing and deepening work based upon the EDZ developing practice. On the basis of EDZ regional feature, the model of EDZ innovation ecosystem is tested to be established. In addition, the index evaluation system is established and put into practice in the light of Dezhou EDZ. This dissertation makes some suggestion and methods for the scientific development of EDZ's Second Round Development aiming to provide valuable reference.
