The Influence Of Industrial Cluster On Technology Import,Diffusion And Innovation

This paper studies the influence of industrial cluster on technology import, diffusion and innovation systematically.ChapterⅠis the introduction. ChapterⅡsummarizes the theory of industrial cluster.ChapterⅢanalyzes the influence of industrial cluster on technology import, diffusion and innovation. First, it describes the absorbability of industrial cluster. Consider that technology import, diffusion and innovation are influenced by industrial cluster absorbability. Include manpower capital, knowledge store, R&D, and policy support. Higher level of manpower capital, more knowledge store, more input of R&D, more government implement policy of supporting to industry, the absorbability of industrial cluster will more stronger. Second, it describes the routes of industrial cluster technology import, diffusion and innovation are as follows: cooperation, personnel flowing, formal and informal exchange. Moreover, it describes the influence on the technology import, diffusion and innovation from the characters of industrial cluster emphatically. It studies the industrial cluster influences on technology import, diffusion and innovation directly. Industrial cluster can impel the diffusion of technology because of the information and knowledge overflow which produced by the large-scale production inside or outside cluster. Industrial cluster network has offered good organization terms for import, diffusion and innovation of technology. Social capital plays an important role to the cluster technology import, diffusion and innovation too. The close distance of space in cluster can promote technology import, diffusion and innovation. ChapterⅢhas offered the theoretical foundation for case analysis of chapterⅣ.ChapterⅣmake the empirical studies to Shouguang vegetables industrial cluster. It summarizes the overview of Shouguang vegetables industrial cluster, describes the absorbability of Shouguang vegetables industrial cluster, describes the routes of technology import, diffusion and innovation of Shouguang vegetables industrial cluster, expound the influence of Shouguang vegetables industrial cluster on technology import, diffusion and innovation from large-scale production, cluster network, social capital and space of cluster.Chapter V is the conclusion and the prospect of further studies.
