The Study Of Changzhutan Engineering Machinery Industry Cluster

The industry cluster is a worldwide economic phenomenon. Practice has proved that the industry cluster has become a common feature of today's competitive industries, as same as an important factor of regional competitive advantage. In the view of Macker Pott, a professor of Harvard University, USA, the industry cluster means an assemblage which composed by a large number of interrelated enterprises and support organizations concentrate in space in a specific industry. Looking from its development status, ChangZhuTan engineering machinery has the basic characteristics of industry cluster. It has become an urgent subject for ChangZhuTan engineering machinery industry to study on how to giving full play to the cluster effect in order to obtain a competitive advantage.At first, the thesis illustrated in detail and commented on the various theories of China's engineering machinery industry and industry cluster competitiveness, paving the way to research on the ChangZhuTan engineering machinery industry cluster. Then a method which was combined by qualitative and quantitative has be used to analyse the current situation and influencing factors of ChangZhuTan engineering machinery industry cluster. The conclusion of analysis is "large in scale, but has many problems". As to quantitative analysis, the paper adopted one methods-Principal Component Analysis method to fulfill the industry cluster competitiveness analysis. The conclusion of quantitative analysis is that ChangZhuTan engineering machinery industry is comparatively high competitiveness in the national scope. However, Some aspects have to be further improved, including the capacity of supporting industry and industrial technology innovation capabilities ,and so on.According to the analysis of the factors and the evaluation results, eventually the paper gave several suggestions on how to develop the ChangZhuTan engineering machinery industry cluster, which put its focus on elevating the Scale competitiveness of industrial clusters, improving the capability of technological innovation, building effective financing systems, reinforcing human resources development.
