A Comparative Study Of Coal Industry Strategic Mode Between Large-scale Grouping And Industrial Clustering

Coal resources is the important energy resources, strategic resources and industrial chemicals, the stand or fall of coal industry development relates to the speed of our country industrialization and national economic development. China has abundant coal resources, under the knowledge economy and regional economic background, and how to promote the adjustment of industrial structure in the coal-rich region, enhance coal enterprise and industry competitiveness and, and coordinate the industrial, regional and national economic development is a real problem to be solved. Under the context of global economic integration, industry clustering have become the typical regional strategic model which can realize optimal allocation of resource and promote the core competence of coal industry and coal-rich region. As for coal industry in China, the large-scale coal grouping is the mainstream industrial organization model in the "Eleventh Five-Year" Plan and the "Twelfth Five-Year" Plan period while less attention on the coal industry clustering. The "Twelfth Five-Year" Plan clearly put forward to implement the regional economic development ideas which is called "the major function area" strategy, and coal industry clustering will most likely be the important realistic vector which the coal-rich region and the national large coal industry bases implement the strategy of "the major function area".The thesis put the coal industry as the research object, industrial cluster theory, strategic management theory and evolutionary game theory as the theoretical basis, and analyzed the selection problem btween the large-scale grouping and the industrial clustering strategy modle of coal industry. The main ideas and contents are:①The coal industry has a strong resource dependency, strong path lock qualitative, industry scalability, low entry barriers and high exit barriers.②Under the context of global economic integration, the development of coal industry has three trends:the upgrading trend of coal industrial structure, the optimization trend of coal product mix, low-carbon greening trend.③Coal industry large-scale grouping strategic mode has these characteristics: cross-regional or multinational operations, capital structure diversity, the relationship among members is competitive collaboration, monopolistic market structure. The coal industry clustering strategy mode has these characteristics: cross-region, government relevance, geographic embeddedness, life periodicity.④The thesis analyzed the heterogeneity and homogeneity between large-scale grouping and industry clustering of coal industry about ten respects: applicable scope, support condition, spatial pattern, resource allocation mechanism, organizational structure, operation mode, coordination efficiency, organizational property, the unity of purpose, social and environmental benefits, and established time-space coupling system model about large-scale grouping and industry clustering of coal industry. The thesis reached the spiralled evolutionary relationship between large-scale grouping and industry clustering, and considered that the two Strategic mode could transform into each other in a certain space-time structure.⑤Constructed a evolutionary game model which according with a more realistic scenario and bounded rationality, the thesis analyzed the stability and evolution mechanism of the evolutionary stable strategy for coal enterprises in coal-rich region choosing the strategy. The thesis got the key conditions which influence coal enterprises selected strategic mode: one factor is the magnitude between the transaction costs in industrial areas and the management costs in the large-scale group, one factor is the ratio of economic benefits after choosing the strategic mode, another is the probability of strategy choice of the other side of game.⑥Pesented corresponding countermeasures system from government angle and enterprise angle, according to the selection principles what the coal industry should be followed when choosed strategy mode. The government should develop appropriate regional industry planning to improve the policy support system for regional economic development, develop the market economy system to promote the integration of regional markets, develop both coal enterprise and non-coal enterprise to comprehensively exploit and utilize regional resources, and actively create a good regional soft environment. Enterprises should establish reasonable organize structure to propitiously implement strategy aim, strengthen enterprise management to establish the intensive and efficient management mechanism, deepen the reform to establish efficient manage mechanism, implement technological innovation to establish a favorable self-innovative technical progress mechanism.The innovation in this thesis may be the following aspects:①Comparatively studyed the large-scale grouping and industrial clustering of the coal industry strategic mode, made an objective evaluation and provided the basis for making countermeasures of coal industry choosing development strategy mode.②Presented an assumptions which according with a more realistic scenario and bounded rationality, and introduced transaction costs, management fee and rate of cost balance return into the evolutionary game model.③Introduced evolutionary game theory into the comparative analysis between the large-scale grouping and industrial clustering of coal industry, structured the evolutionary game model to determine the key factors which impact coal enterprises of the coal-rich region to choose strategic mode, and provided the basis for the state formulateing relevant policy.This thesis considered that, through the comparative analysis between the large-scale grouping and industrial clustering of coal industry, got the relationship of the two strategic mode and the key factors which impact coal enterprises of the coal-rich region to choose strategic mode, provided the basis for making countermeasures of coal industry choosing development strategy mode, it can promote coal industrial restructuring, enhance enterprise and industrial competitiveness, and coordinate the industrial, regional and national economic development, which has some theoretical significance and application value.
