Research On Innovation Mechanism And Competency Cultivation Of Networks In Industrial Clusters

From the network perspective, industry cluster is a special kind of network system which includes enterprises, governments, universities, research institutes, and financial institutions. It has complete actors and there are close connections between the cluster inner-networks and inter-networks.In this paper, some of the theory such as industrial economics, economic sociology, complex systems, technological innovation theory, regional innovation network theory, knowledge management, and other multi-disciplinary theories and methods are used. There are close integration such as theory and practice, qualitative and quantitative, macro and micro analysis, static analysis and dynamic analysis, mathematical models and concept model, to explore innovative mechanisms in industrial cluster networks and capacity development.This paper established a three-dimensional dynamic research framework network of industrial clusters. The synergy of enterprises and governments, colleges and universities, financial institutions, intermediaries and other actors is the structure dimension. The knowledge diffusion, the mechanism of competition and incentive mechanisms for the dynamic interaction platform is the mechanism dimension. Endogenous force and stimulating force from the advantages of industrial clusters network structure is the dynamic dimension. From the three dimensions, network innovative mechanisms and capacity development, and technology innovation, industrial clusters upgrading with the global networks are deeply analyzed.The main content and conclusions of the study are as follows:1. Industrial clusters of network structure and mechanism. Industrial Cluster network will be divided into the core network, support network and external networks and their operation mechanism are respectively studied. The enterprises constitute the core nodes of industry cluster networks. Universities and research institutes, governments and financial institutions, intermediaries will constitute a support network of industrial clusters. Regional innovation system and global industry network are the external networks. At the same time, the features of cluster such as production networks, knowledge networks, social network are described.2. Knowledge diffusion of spillover effects of industrial clusters. Based on the knowledge features of implicit, not entirely externality and limited communication, the impact of cluster network structure on the knowledge diffusion is studied. From the perspective of social capital, knowledge diffusion mechanisms, knowledge diffusion effect mechanism of the industrial clusters are analyzed. In the knowledge spillover effect of industrial clusters, the source of knowledge spillovers, knowledge spillovers path are studied.3. The competitiveness of industrial clusters and its evaluation. Positive and negative effects of network structure on the competitive advantages are proposed. In the same time, cluster competitiveness evaluation index system and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation methods are described.4. Upgrading of industrial clusters mechanisms, such as upgrading dynamic mechanism and value access mechanisms. China should upgrade technical innovation capability and performance to transform low-cost clusters to the innovative clusters to improve international competitiveness.5. Cultivation of industrial clusters networks capability. There are three key decision factors for the industrial clusters capacity, i.e. business model, stock and incremental of knowledge, skills formation. Innovation policies and government operation mechanisms are analyzed. In the end, some policy proposals are proposed.
