Clearly mentioning that trust among clustered enterprises plays an important role in the following aspect: such as reducing risks caused by malicious enterprise cooperative innovation motives, increasing input, reducing market uncertainty, promoting cooperation integration and so on.Secondly, this paper puts forward the trust-running model. In this model, relationships between the partners, historical experience and enterprises reputation can produce trust; reorganization of partners' ability, the fair of procedure and distribution of benefits, and the compatibility of parterners in the process of cooperation, can strengthen trust; the cost of the failure of cooperative innovation, the moral and institutional environment of clusters, contracts and contract law can protect the trust mechanism.Thirdly, through field research of the Yungkang industry cluster, learning that the innovative atmosphere in Yungkang industry cluster promotes cooperative innovation, and environment of cluster safeguards trust among cooperative enterprises. The paper uses the case of cooperative innovation between Xingyue Group and Shuangjian Fitness Equipment Co., Ltd. to support the view of this paper.Finally, the author summarize the basic conclusions of the paper, and put forward a number of recommendations about how to make trust mechanism running better among cooperative innovation enterprises in clustered enterprises.
