The Research On The Supportive Mechanism Of Policies For Upgrading The Industrial Clusters In Wenzhou

Recent years, the research question of identifying and fostering industrial clusters has attracted the attention of the academic field of economics home and abroad. Meanwhile, the new question arises as regards to the upgrading strategies of the well-formed industrial clusters by means of public policies of the local government.Wenzhou enjoys a good reputation for Wenzhou model, which is characteristic of Wenzhou's unique way of economic development and experience of economic success. The general recognition Wenzhou model receives has made it a classic case study in the academic research of economics. The development of industrial clusters has been the primary drive of Wenzhou's spectacular economic growth. It is of great significance in reality and in strategy to study the ways of further promoting the upgrading and the efficiency of industrial clusters so as to enhance the regional competitiveness of Wenzhou's economy in an increasingly competitive environment.The thesis focuses on the research object of the industrial clusters in Wenzhou. The analysis is based on the theories such as the conceptual framework and evolution framework of industrial clusters, the identification of development stage of industrial clusters, etc. A supportive mechanism of cluster-based policies for upgrading industrial clusters features the analysis framework of the thesis. The application of literature review, investigation, comparative study, inductive data analysis, statistical analysis of diagrams and charts, case study in the research results in the representation of the reality in the industrial clusters in Wenzhou and the identification of the development stage and problems involved. Based on the comprehensive analysis, the local government should escape the four traps: 'governance in vain', 'unbalanced support', 'concern only for the big enterprises', 'favor to the strong and neglect of the weak'. In conclusion, the thesis attempts to establish a supportive mechanism of cluster-based policies for upgrading the industrial clusters in Wenzhou, which operates in four aspects: the guidance in the industrial investment, the assembling of resource elements, the supervision of market operation and the public service.
