Research On The Role Of The Government In The Development Of Industrial Cluster

In recent decades, the industrial cluster is one of the international economic phenomena which receive most attention. The trend of the global industrial organization's development refers to similar or relative industries which gather in the same location, become increasingly interdependent, and ultimately form industrial clusters.There are a lot of industrial clusters in both developed and developing countries, and the number is increasing, particularly in developing countries. All levels of governments in the world have shown keen interest in the development of industrial clusters. Some have worked out clear development plan and regarded it as a strategic policy to promote industries'upgrading and SMEs'development, and stimulate economic growth.Part 1 IntroductionIt mainly introduces the background of the research and the present circumstance of domestic and foreign research. It also presents the author's ideas of research and the framework of the content.Part 2 The summary of the industrial cluster theoryThe author summarizes domestic and foreign industrial cluster theory researches, seeking to show a clear development of the relative theories.Part 3 The research on industrial cluster policy of the governmentA. The author analyzes the necessity of implying industrial cluster policy based on the analysis of the competitive advantages of the industrial clusters and the problems that exist in the development of the industrial clusters.B. By comparing the government's role in two main forms of formation and development of domestic and foreign successful industrial clusters, the author draws some enlightenment of the industrial cluster development. For example, the industrial cluster is formed and developed under the function of the market. Industrial cluster may be consciously planed and developed through government's industrial cluster policy. The existence of massive SMEs is an important force in impelling the formation and development of the industrial clusters. Favorable external environment is an important protection for the formation and the development of the industrial clusters. The development of the industrial cluster truly needs the government to play the vital role, and so on.Part 4 The research on the role of the government in the development of industrial clustersA. The principles which the government should follow in impelling the development of industrial cluster. For example, industrial clusters should form and develop on the basis of local regional advantages and special industries. The law of industrial cluster development should be respected. The government should play a role mainly as impellor or mediator. The government should formulate corresponding policy and support conditions, and so on.B. The functions of the government in the development of industrial cluster, such as guidance of the development of the industrial cluster, market supervision, the provision of public services, and so on.C. Measures that the government could take. For example, division and collaboration within the industrial clusters promotion, industrial cluster development environment creation, the development of industrial parks guidance, the strategy of qualified personnel impel, universities and research institutions cooperation, and so on.D. Attentions that should be pay in the implement of the industrial cluster policy. For example, the government can't help enterprises to create a competitive advantage. It should not neglect the importance of the development of the SMEs. Industrial clusters are not equivalent to professionalize cities. Industry clusters are not equivalent to the characteristic industrial units. The formation of industrial cluster is not tantamount to the establishment of industrial parks. Industry cluster's nurturing and development is a long process. Prevent the emergence of "government failure", and so on.Part 5 The application of the theoryA. The author analyzed the necessity of developing industrial cluster and Northeast current economic situation.B. On the basis of the Northeast current economic situation and the necessity of developing industrial cluster, the author made a number of policy recommendations for the government to promote industrial cluster strategy, aiming at revitalizing the northeast region. For example, nurture endogenous forces under the market mechanism. Deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises. Vigorously develop the non-public sector of the economy. Promote collaboration within the cluster. Refine production chain. Guide and encourage the development of the intermediary organizations. Support the emerging industrial clusters. Promote the cooperation of industrial clusters with the Northeast region universities and research institutions, and so on.
