A Study On Interaction Mechanism Between Foreign Direct Investment And Industrial Cluster

Since later stage of the 20th century, the economic globalization is being strengthened constantly, international trade, international investment and transnational cooperation develop at full speed, and the whole world becomes a unified entirety day by day. As the transnational corporation has a great improvement in resource arrangement worldwide, the transnational corporation has already become the most active, most important, most influential organization in the international activity. The inevitable outcome that the transnational corporation moves about in the world is to make the international direct investment more frequent and more intensive. In the last few years, the international direct investment has been a focus of the international economy all the time, and during more than 20 years of reform and opening-up, China is all been focuses of foreign direct investment all the time too. The entry on a large scale of the foreign direct investment has exerted an enormous influence on industrial structure, overall arrangement and industry's competitiveness of our country.Meanwhile, in recent ten years, industrial cluster appears in succession worldwide phenomenon like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Industrial cluster refers to the concentration of organization enterprises related to one industry on the geographical position, it includes a batch of connected industries and other entities which play an important role in competition, for example the supplier which supplies components, machine and service etc. and provider of the professional infrastructure. Industrial clusters are a large number of facts existing in economic life of our times. Silicon Valley in U.S.A., software industry of Bangalore in India and Italian ceramic tile industry are all famous illustrations. In current era, industrial cluster has already become the noticeable regional development trend. No matter in the developed countries or in developing countries, it makes enormous contributions to economic development. With the development of economy and the promotion of reform, industrial cluster phenomenon becomes the important content in economic development of our country. The coastal areas in the southeast make the remarkable economic performance relying on industrial cluster. Industrial cluster develops rapidly in our country and has made important contribution to the area and national economic development.Obviously, international direct investment and industrial cluster have already become the two important focuses in economic research, and there are enough researches to the two focuses. But by looking up the relevant documents, we can find few researches to the relation between international direct investment and the theory of industrial cluster that is still in fragmentary state and starting stage. The article which proposes the theory between international direct investment and industrial cluster has not appeared, the relevant empirical researches do not have extensive suitability either. The problem and shortcoming have offered extensivespace for the research to the relation between international direct investment and industrial cluster.This text tries hard to use multi-disciplinary theories combined with international direct investment theory, industrial cluster theory, area development theory to carry on systematic research to the related mechanism between international direct investment and industrial cluster with the method of standard analysis, empirical analysis, qualitative analysis, statistical analysis, on the basis of analyzing the industry effect of international direct investment and the regional effects of industrial cluster, the text announces inner link of international direct investment and of industrial cluster, expounds the related mechanism between them, studies the current situations of foreign direct investment and cluster of the manufacturing industry in Hubei, expounds the reality of the connection of them, and offers the countermeasure and intellectual support for absorbing foreign capitals and developing industrial cluster further, perfect international direct investment theory and industrial cluster theory.This text divides five parts altogether: the first part is the introduction including such contents as the purpose, meaning, method, structure, innovation of this text; the second part retrospects the relevant theories of international direct investment theory and industrial cluster theory; the third part proposes and explains the related mechanism of international direct investment theory and industrial cluster theory; the fourth part analyzes the related mechanism of foreign direct investment and the cluster of manufacturing industry in Hubei, put forwards corresponding countermeasure and suggestion; in the last part author summarizes the relation between international direct investment and industrial cluster synthetically, and explains the problem needing to study further.
