A Study Of China's Regional Sporting Goods Industrial Cluster Upgrading Mechanism Based On Global Value Chain

Since the Open Policy, with the dual promotion of Globalization and Market economy reforms. Sporting Goods Industrial cluster,as an important carrier of national economy, based on the richness of both nature and labor resource, undertake the international transfer of Sporting Goods Industry and rapidly appearing on the world stage, have vigorously promoted China's rapid economic development. However, as our internal resource usage control is increasing and foreign countries are taking more policies such as suppress import to protect domestic industries and the Low-carbon economy concept has been widely accepted; China's regional sporting goods industrial clusters are losing their advantage of low-cost. As a result, research on Regional Sporting Goods Industrial cluster upgrading has been put on the agenda. This paper research how to adjust the development by creating and grasping the core competitiveness to achieve industrial upgrading have profoundly influenced the future development of China's Sporting Goods Industrial cluster. There are five main parts of research content, which are as follows:Firstly, through combing the global value chain theory and the theory of industrial cluster, this paper consider that Regional Sporting Goods Industrial cCluster embedded in global value chain is in order to gain comparative interest under the background of the international industrial transfer. The prospective of global value chain of industrial cluster upgrading, it should emphasize the local connection but also pay attention to the external links.Secondly, analyze the upgrading mechanism of China's regional sporting goods industrial clusters from both internal & external aspects: In terms of internal-mechanism, which is about how can the sporting goods industrial clusters gain innovative and competitive advantage base on clusters network structure, here we firstly refer to the game theory to analyze how the enterprise carry out competitive and cooperative innovation, then analyze the relationship among members of local network structure. In terms of external-mechanism, which is about how to upgrade along the global value chain to gain value globally, here we analyzed the value component, driven-power and management model of global value chain. Then combine internal and external upgrading mechanism analysis industrial cluster upgrading capacity detailed. With considering both internal and external aspects of the upgrading mechanism, we can avoid partial research result. Thirdly, combining with their own characteristics of the Regional Sporting Goods Industrial Cluster and the principles of index system, the thesis establishes an index system which is adapt to the evaluation of upgrading capacity of Regional Sporting Goods Industrial Cluster. Further more, expounding the process of the method chosen for evaluation, method's introduction and the evaluation's steps.Fourthly, taking Jinjiang athletic footwear industrial cluster for example, using the upgrading mechanism analysis framework and the index system which are established, analysis its upgrading mechanism analysis and evaluation of its upgrading capacity. At last, according to the result of evaluation carried out in-depth analysis, and made some countermeasures to upgrade. This fully verified the theoretical framework of its feasibility and applicability.The last part, based on former theoretical and empirical analysis, this paper end up with some practical policy recommendations for improving the development of China's Regional sporting goods industrial cluster, which are as follows: enterprise development level, intermediaries level and government policy level.
