Research On The Shanghai R&D Industrial Space Evolution

R&D activities have drawn wide attention, including the type of activity, site selection, spatial disparities, and the relationship between regional innovation. R&D globalization in the context of market-oriented R&D activities, external technology is to engage in R&D activities of enterprise and organizations assembled in a new industry. The development of industrial research within academic circles, little involved.This paper tutors the National Natural Science Foundation(40971068)"R&D industry, space evolution mechanism", the Shanghai Education Committee Research and innovation Project(09YZ174)"Foreign R&D technology space diffusion mechanism"to support passage of all kinds collection of relevant literature, and science and technology park on the East China institute of Technology-depth investigation and interviews with the formation of the Shanghai R&D industry, the development of a comprehensive system evolution studies.Combination of geography and economics thesis tools and methods, from the geographical spaces Perspective Shanghai R&D industry the evolution of space to explore the mechanism of its development, Typical case in accordance with regional and business case analysis leads to development of industrial agglomeration and R&D copolymer as the starting point, systematic study of globalization, information age within the city to develop industrial location evolution.Analyzed the development of the Shanghai R&D industry space-time process, through the pair of 131 R&D organization, R&D enterprises and research institutes in Shanghai, different times of district change in Shanghai R&D industry will be divided into three phases: the first dot downtown gathering, the second phase of flakes gather suburban park, the third phase of the network within the urban agglomeration area. R&D will be the main form through the different spatial organization of Shanghai R&D industry is divided into three types: government-led, through Cooperative type, self-organization type.On the base of that, further analysis to the location factor of enterprises'R&D institutions is made in the paper. The resulting analysis shows that enterprises attach great importance to the inter-sector collaboration, particularly the geographical proximity to headquarter and production base. Moreover, High Tech talent, land, regional policy and Infrastructure are important location factors for R&D. However, different types of enterprises are concerned with different factors.On this basis, the paper combined with interviews and case study research, industrial R&D space evolution of the Shanghai power system is analyzed. Analysis show that, Shanghai high-tech industrial policy, urban information level, location advantages and business choices, based on the level of industry, urban spatial transformation of the five forces to promote the evolution of the Shanghai R&D space industry.Both studies combining discovery Shanghai R&D industry not only in the specific context and evolution occurred and is embedded in a broader historical and cultural, institutional and geographical background, reflect the concentration-diffusion–and then gather space evolution, evolution direction due south due north from the southwest to the northeast turn and along this line continue to strengthen. in the same time, R&D industry not only with local industrial technology and systems environment interaction, but also outside the region national level and global level industrial technology and systems environment is a certain connection, follow the co-evolution law.
