Study On Evolvement Mechanism And Development Mode Of China’s Plywood Industry Cluster

Plywood is one of the wood-based panel products that can use wood resource efficiencyand improve wood performance. With the development of economy and society, the demand forplywood and the productions and trade activities of plywood also grow rapidly. As the world’swood-based panels production and export superpower, plywood industry in china has realizedthe development by a handsome margin and its cluster is gradually taking shape since thereform and opening up. Industrial clusters such as Linyi in Shandong province, Pizhou inJiangsu province, Jiashan in Zhejiang province, Xingtai and Wen’an in Hebei province havebecome dominant form of plywood production and play an important role in the developmentprocess of China’s plywood industry. Meanwhile, each plywood industrial cluster has differentfeatures, cluster advantages and evolution trend owing to the discrepancy in formation history,natural endowment, developmental environment and industrial base. Therefore, the broadertheoretical and empirical study on operation and evolvement mechanism and competitivedifferences has great theoretical and practical significance to grasp the direction of plywoodindustrial clusters development, clear key restrictive factors of cluster evolvement through itsupgrade process and promote sustainable development of the plywood industrial clusters.Two unstability ends on the development of plywood in the cluster were exposed andimprovements of the capacity of its competition were discussed, in which were based on theplywood manufacturing, its developing process and were analysised by the GEME, and DEAmethods of management and economic theory. Therefore, this paper analyses the condition ofChina’s plywood industrial cluster evolution and competitiveness mainly from five aspectsresearch order to spread out research.Firstly, this paper analyses the development course and current situation of the worldplywood. Based on dual perspective of the industry scale and raw material supply, this papermakes a reasonable division of the development stage of the Chinese plywood industry, andmakes further discussion on the situation of Chinese plywood industry from products category,production, import and export status and other aspects.Secondly, the paper makes a theoretical discussion on the problems of connotation,characteristics, classification, production condition, formation mechanism, running mechanismand evolution path by both ends instability of the plywood industry cluster. In order to providetheoretical guidance for our plywood industry’s evolutionary upgrade and enhance the cluster’scompetitiveness.Then, combined with a survey and accounting of Chinese plywood industry cluster’sformation process and industrial location quotient, top five plywood industry cluster is identified which are Linyi in Shandong, Pizhou in Jiangsu, Jiashan in Zhejiang, Wen’an inHebei and Guigang in Guangxi. On this basis, this paper gives a system analysis on thedevelopment situation, characteristic advantages and prospects for the development of eachindustry cluster.This paper constructs the evaluation index system of plywood industry cluster to evaluateand analysis the competitive status of our country’s five plywood industrial clusters. And bytaking a typical industrial cluster (Pizhou) as an example, further using Data EnvelopmentAnalysis method was developed for the industry scale and technology relative efficiency andrelative competitive status of quantitative evaluation.Finally, this paper puts forward the promotion strategy and implementation measures ofplywood industry cluster in China, which is based on the GEME framework and combinedwith the analysis and evaluation results aimed at basic factors, enterprise factors, market factorsand environmental factors.
