In 1990's, industrial clusters are not merely a normal economical phenomenon, further more they improve the international competitive of the companies of the industrial cluster, and greatly improve the development of the regional industries and the companies. The regions of industrial clusters agglomerate lots of entrepreneurs and mangers with entrepreneurial capabilities. As a special element, Entrepreneurs participate in the value added process of companies, and lots of entrepreneurs in the industrial clusters provide the necessary human resource capital for the updating of the industrial clusters. Under this context, the paper discusses and explores the relationship between the roles of entrepreneurs and the development of the industrial clusters. The paper starts from the common characters of the entrepreneurs' role in the macroeconomics and business environment, understands the roles of entrepreneurs in the development of the industrial clusters, explores the special roles of the entrepreneurs in the development of the industrial clusters, suggests the mechanism and analysis framework of promoting the development of the industrial clusters by starting from the mechanism.The topic has significant theoretical and practical meaning. In theory, the paper confirms the important role of the industrial clusters' entrepreneurs in the development of economy, completes the theoretical research on the roles of entrepreneurs, and establishes a special view on researching the entrepreneurs' topics. In nowadays China, entrepreneurs are severely scarce resource which is urgently needed to be developed and strengthened. While the reality is that the research aiming at Chinese entrepreneurs, especially the entrepreneurs of industrial clusters is severely slower than the need of the practice. Thus, researching on the roles of the industrial cluster's entrepreneurs systematically and deeply has significant meaning to the Chinese society and developing socialism market economy.The purpose of the paper is to clearly recognize the following points by analyzing the roles of the entrepreneurs in the development of industrial clusters: (1) The paper wants to show its own idea on what is "entrepreneur" and how to identify the entrepreneurs in the industrial clusters. (2) The paper will take a further step on the research of the mechanism and regularity of the forming and development of industrial clusters, will also construct the framework analysis framework of roles of entrepreneurs on the development of industrial clusters, and seek the regularity of the industrial clusters' roles. (3) Discover the formation mechanism, function mechanism and operation mechanism of how the entrepreneurs impact the development of the industrial clusters, thus to provide the regulation changing path for promoting the optimizaiton and updating of industrial clusters to promote the formation of Chinese entrepreneurs' social rung and the completion of entrepreneurs' regulation.According to the questions above, the research of the paper mainly includes the following aspects:(1) According to the research on the literature of the formation and the evolution mechanism of industrial clusters and the roles of entrepreneurs, the paper suggests the important roles of industrial clusters' entrepreneurs in the formation and development of the industrial clusters, and the definition of the inner-meaning of the industrial clusters' entrepreneurs and the division of the evolution stages of the industrial clusters.(2) Theoretically explain the function mechanism of the industrial clusters' entrepreneurs to the industrial clusters, and suggest resulting explanation model of how the industrial clusters' entrepreneurs promote the industrial clusters.(3) Analyze the entrepreneurs venture activities and the evolution mechanism of industrial clusters from the aspect of organization, construct the model of entrepreneurs' venture and formation and evolution of industrial clusters to analyze and prove the different influences of entrepreneurs in different evolution stages.(4) Analyze the entrepreneurs' capabilities, education and industrial clusters' evolution mechanism from the aspect of capability, research on the promoting roles of the capability elements such as knowledge, capability and innovation spirit to the growth of industrial clusters, suggest the entrepreneurs' capability constitute element in the growth and evolution of the industrial clusters, establish the growth model of industrial clusters basing on the entrepreneurs' capabilities, and suggest that the education of the entrepreneurs is a useful method to the improvement of the entrepreneurs' capability.(5) Analyze the entrepreneurs' social capital and the evolution mechanism of industrial clusters from the aspect of network analysis, analyze the impact of entrepreneurs' social capital on the formation and evolution of industrial clusters' social capital, and the impact of constitute parts of entrepreneurs' social capital on each stage of industrial cluster, then establish the function model of how the evolution of entrepreneurs' social capital impact on industrial clusters' development and stability.(6) Suggest that the development of the industrial clusters from the view of strateg is a useful method to the improvement of the entrepreneurs venture activities, entrepreneurs' capabilities and entrepreneurs' social capital.Comparing with the existing research on the roles of entrepreneurs in the evolution of industrial clusters, the conclusion of the paper is as following:Conclusion 1: the industrial clusters' entrepreneurs under the context of industrial clusters have special and important meaning for the development of economy. The group of the entrepreneurs constitutes for the backbone of the production power of the industrial clusters. Just depending on the differentiated human capital of the entrepreneurs, the industrial clusters' entrepreneurs become a kind of special scared resource, and the innovational activities bring themselves success and develop the companies, as well as promote the evolution of the industrial clusters.Conclusion 2: The venture of the industrial clusters' entrepreneurs not only boost the clusters to evolve from forming, developing, maturing and changing stage, but also act as different roles in different stages.Conclusion 3: The capabilities of the industrial clusters' entrepreneurs are structured by three aspects, i.e. entrepreneurs' quality, entrepreneurs' capability and entrepreneurs' innovation, which inter-act and influence each other. Entrepreneurs make the companies success with their own capability; promote the formation and development of the companies. The capabilities of the industrial clusters' entrepreneurs can be shared and transmitted within the cluster by many methods. The entrepreneurs can increase their knowledge and capabilities, improve the study ability and cooperation study ability of the members of the clusters, and establish study mechanism of the clusters, thus improve the knowledge level of the whole industrial clusters.Conclusion 4: Clusters' entrepreneurs' innovation will boost the industrial clusters realize the evolution from low to high level. If the industrial clusters want get the sustainable development, it must realize the second time venture, continuous innovation makes the clusters keep rigorous life and vigor.Conclusion 5: Entrepreneurs' social capital is the ability of the entrepreneurs' ability to use their inter and outer resources, the personal network directed by credit and norm basing on the companies' network. The cluster's evolution around the social capital is imbedded in routine, gene and regional tradition, clusters' sprout not only is the result of single accidental event, but has some kind of necessary relationship with the historical tradition of local region. Advanced business network is the signal of the mature of the industrial clusters.Conclusion 6: The relatively similar value and cooperation idea among the clusters' entrepreneurs' network make it easy for the cluster to develop higher level of trust. Under the effect of the trust, the cooperation in the clusters' business networks is very frequent, which boost the long term cooperation and the fluent of the social capital.
