Research On The Niche Integration Model Of The Industrial Cluster Co-evolution

The evolution of industrial clusters is caused widespread concern in the community, because of the reseach time of the China's industrial clusters is relatively short, and the concept and development model and mechanisms of the evolution are not very clear, in practice there are some problems worthy of in-depth study. The development of many industrial clusters in China is wasted the resources with the one-way linear development model of the traditional industrial evolution, and overlooked the clusters within the organic link between enterprises and symbiotic relationship, resulting in resource depletion and environmental deterioration and their products within the same cluster of serious, and not enough of cluster innovations, triggered niche overlap and vicious competition.Based on this, the paper takes the niche theory as the analysis tool, and builts the niche integration model of the co-evolution of the industrial cluster, and researches on the niche problems and the solution pathes of the co-evolution of industrial clusters.In this paper, the content and its main innovations for the performance of the main points:Firstly, we select the niche analysis perspective, and analyze the ecological characteristics and the niche problems of the evolution of the industrial clusters. From the comparative study on the co-evolution of industrial clusters and the biological evolution, it is described the life cycle of the co-evolution of the industry clusters and based on Lotka-Volterra model of cluster predatory competition between enterprises as well as on the width of niche industrial clusters, overlapping, separation, and other structural model, and we analyze the niche overlap, weakening, and inherent deficiencies, and other causes of the problems of the evolution of the industry cluster in the City-group of Changsha-Zhuzhou-XiangtanSecondly, based on the niche problems in the evolution of clusters, we attempt to put forward the concept of the niche integration of the industrial clusters.The so-called Niche Integration, refers to the mutually beneficial cooperation between enterprises and resource integration, the actual realization of cluster enterprises niche expansion and updating, through demand, resources, technology, systems integration niche factors with the expansion of industrial clusters of co-evolution and sustainable development. Demand, resources, technology and systems of industrial clusters are the niche integration of important sequence parameters. Based on the analysis of the order parameters the co-evolution of industrial clusters, we study on the operating mechanisms as the symbiotic, coordination, creativity.Through the analysis of the order parameters of the niche integration of industrial clusters between the intrinsic link to the theory of mutation analysis tools, it is the construction of the mutation model of the niche integration of the industrial clusters, and we choose seven leading enterprises from six of the construction machinery manufacturing clusters in China as the evaluation targets, and have the evaluation and comparison of the niche integration of performance by a series of mutations.At last, by the industrial clusters co-evolution of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan for empirical analysis of the demand, resources, technology, institution-level niche, we explore the strategical choices of the niche integration of the industrial clusters. The demand niche integration is mainly of a product or niche-market demand integration, which is the prominent differentiations of the product of the industrial clusters and enterprises, and is expanded and developed new market spaces; The resource niche integration need to implement the ecological strategy of clusters, including building ecological industrial system, the development of eco-industrial parks, and enhancing the flexibility of the resource niche; Based on the analysis of RJVs Model, the technological niche integration of industrial clusters need to strengthen the cluster innovation cooperation between enterprises, optimizing cooperative innovation investment environment, and building virtual collaborative innovation model; The institutional innovation of the industrial clusters modular requires to enhance the integration of the design and manufacture of cluster modular, and to enhance the integration of the partnership of cluster modular and the institutional integration of the government and the intermediary institutions of cluster modular.
