The Research Of The Formation Mechanisms Of Cultural Creative Industry Cluster

In the second half of the20thcentury, thanks to its strong vitality and creativespirit, the cultural creative industry reveals its endless charm as ‘Green Industry’ and‘Promising Industry’ on the world economic stage. It is called the ‘Golden Industry ofthe21stCentury’. The cultural creative industry relies on its high cooperation betweencultural creative elements to optimize and upgrade the industrial structure, to createthe new miracle of the fast development of modern industries, and to highlight itsposition and function in the competition of comprehensive national power. Thecultural creative industry cluster has become a hot topic only in recent years, soexisting research is limited and immature. Therefore, it is of great importance toscientifically analyze its formation mechanisms.The research focus of this dissertation is the cultural creative industry cluster andits formation mechanisms. First, based on an analysis of the literature, the dissertationdefines the basic concepts of the cultural creative industry, reveals the characteristicsand composition of the cultural creative industry, and studies the motivationmechanisms of its formation: Knowledge Spillover Mechanism and Synergy andCompetition Mechanism. By means of an empirical study, it compares thecharacteristics of a selection of successful cultural creative industry clusters indifferent parts of the world. Meanwhile, the dissertation analyzes universal formationlaws and formation conditions, and discusses the influencing factors of a culturalcreative industry cluster from a macro and micro perspective. And the formationpatterns of the cultural creative industry cluster are divided into the endogenouspattern and the exogenous pattern according to the processes of formation and theparticipation degree of government’s activities.Second, the dissertation builds an influencing factors model of the formationmechanisms. The dissertation comes to the conclusion that its formation is mainlyinfluenced by historical resources, governmental support, economic foundation andtalent support. In accordance with the conclusion, the dissertation hypothesizes factorsthat affect its formation, and designs the questionnaire which is used forhalf-constructed interviews. This is followed by a mathematics analysis of theseoriginal interview data, and finally determines four dimensions, eight categories and twenty-eight factors affecting its formation by virtue of exploratory factor analysis andconfirmatory factor analysis.Third, it builds the identification indicator system to measure the degree ofcultural creative industry cluster. By using the general designing principles ofindicator system to industrial cluster and the characteristics of cultural creativeindustry cluster, the dissertation builds an exclusive identification indicator system ofcultural creative industry cluster in terms of the static and dynamic indicators, whichlays down the foundation for the following quantitative analysis.Fourth, the dissertation makes a dynamical study on the time gradient and spacelayout of the formation processes of a cultural creative industry cluster by usingmathematics analysis and game theory. By combining a study of the literature withempirical research, the formation processes of cultural creative industry clusters aredivided into three periods: period of rudiment, growth radiation and self-organizationdevelopment, and the dissertation analyzes the characteristics of each period. Onbasis of these, the dissertation describes the processes that go from ‘disorder’,‘flow’to ‘order’,‘stability’ in a mathematics way. At the same time, by means of spacelocation theory and space structure theory, the dissertation expounds the formationprocesses of cultural creative industry cluster from the perspective of space layout.The dissertation builds a model with game theory and reveals the general laws ofspace layout of the cultural creative industry, and put forward the formation path ofcultural creative industry cluster from the ‘point’,‘line’ and ‘area’ stage.Finally, it analyzed the development situation and sources of competitiveadvantage of cultural creative industry cluster of Wuhan City and determined itsformation was in the growth radiation stage by estimating the identication indicatorswith the data of2008-2012. Meanwhile, with the combination of spatial structuretheory and two-dimensional graph agglomeration analysis method, it depicts the‘point’,‘line’,‘area’ stages of cultural creative industry cluster in Wuhan. Accordingto different functions of each district, the dissertation gave suggestions to eachfunctional area in the development of cultural creative industry cluster in Wuhan.
