Research On The Green Innovation Model Of The Industrial Cluster Development As The Example Of Wuhan City Circle

With the increasing economic globalization and regional economy integration, it requires emphasis on industrial cluster innovation and practical research on the coexistence between nature and ecology to eliminate the irreversible negative externalities imposed by human activities on the natural and ecological environment, strike the right balance between industry and ecological environment and enjoy the economic development as well as a friendly environment, thus the green innovative pattern of industrial cluster comes into being. This dissertation, at the angle of green innovation, reveals the inner links among industrial cluster, industrial ecological system and new industrialization. Focusing on the meaning, features, operational mechanism and impetus mechanism of the green innovation of industrial cluster, it explores the available choices to green innovation of the industrial cluster in the backdrop of new industrialization by employing the empirical analysis on New Chemical Industry Park in Wuhan. The following aspects show the main research content and innovative points:Firstly, this dissertation proposes the green innovative pattern of industrial cluster. Compared to the traditional cluster pattern, which is characterized with the resource consumption and environment degradation, the green innovative pattern reexamines the traditional linear development pattern-"resource-product-waste", so as to establish the development pattern meeting the needs of the new industrialization. Grounded on the fundamental elements of the Ecology, Environment Science and related economy ideologies concerning cluster economy, the green innovation of the cluster system, through the coupling optimization of industrial cluster system, nature system and social system in certain places with in the bearable limits of nature, will make the overall coordinative and harmonious development among economy, society and ecological environment in certain area a reality.Secondly, we propose two forms of green innovation of the development of industrial clusters and the operation mechanisms such as the cost-push, pull-effectiveness, environmental protection requirements, and micro-acts of innovation. The two forms of green innovation of the industrial clusters, namely, are the eco-industrial park model and the virtual cluster model. The eco-park model is a typical cluster of green innovation template, focus on the green innovation, not only focus on resource conservation, but also pay attention to environmental protection. The virtual cluster model by leveraging the network effect, uses the modern transmission technology and processing technology for integration of distributed resources, breaking through geographical, resource and environment factors, effective in reducing resource consumption and environmental pollution. The operation mechanisms of green innovation in industrial clusters mainly are the results including as cost-push, pull-effectiveness, environmental protection requirements, and the role of innovation in micro-behavior. The pursuit of low cost and ecological benefits of the internal driving force pull the green innovation, and the two kinds of green innovation build a symbiotic relationship of the cluster forms between enterprises, and the environmental regulations and policy pressures meet environmental standards for the virtual enterprises, and the green image-building and other environmental requirements promote the green innovation. In addition, the micro-acts of clusters enterprises, including the eco-design innovation, cleaner production innovation, green marketing innovation, and strengthens effectively the green innovation of the industrial clusters.Thirdly, this dissertation outlines the incentive and learning pattern of the green innovation of industrial cluster. As enterprises in the industrial cluster pursue the maximization of the economic returns in products and operation, the high cost of the ecological benefits, social benefits and green innovation itself can hardly encourage the internal momentum of the green innovation. On this point, this dissertation, applying the incentive theory to investigate government supervision and the necessity of the motivation, studies how enterprises learn from each other and issues relating to construction of the learning mechanism in the process of the green innovation cluster at the viewpoint of operational mechanism of the market and the learning behavior among enterprises.Finally, by the starting point of the green innovation for research, we analyse the problems of the industrial cluster development in Wuhan City Circle, and open up the new perspective of the industry research in Wuhan City Circle, and creatively put forward the response options of green innovation of the industrial clusters in Wuhan City Circle. By green innovation planning and stimulating the natural and ecological system, the New Chemical Industry Park in Wuhan formulates the industrial "food chains and webs". As a result, the ecological industry chains and webs are formed. Meanwhile, the park carries out clean production in the process of cluster innovation and realizes the innovation of the green technology and green regulation of industrial cluster, ensuing the sustainable development of industrial cluster. Under the blueprint for new industrialization, the major methods adopted by green innovation of industrial cluster include: perfecting the ecological layout, strengthening innovation of green technology, improving service network for innovation, consolidating green dissemination and education, elevating green law system, cultivating green market mechanism and technological supporting system etc.
