Empirical Study On The Influence Factors Of Inner Mongolia Dairy Industry Cluster Development

Industrial cluster, as an efficient production organizational model to drive regional economic development, has attracted attention by more and more countries, regions and organizations with the process of economic globalization. The research to industrial cluster has become a vital research field in economics, during which the research to uncover the influencing factors to the development of industrial cluster, and give policy advices focus on the continuously development of industrial cluster according to these influencing factors are of great importance. However, existing theories and research results of influencing factors on industrial cluster suggest that most of those are about qualitative analysis of the competitiveness of the industrial cluster and are in a plain level as a whole.As one of the most important dairy farming and dairy product processing region of China even of the world, the Inner Mongolia’s dairy industry formed an industrial chain covers forage planting, dairy farming, dairy product processing, products circulating after over 10 years’ development and has developed into industrial cluster, owns an annual output value over 40 billion, benefits over 600 thousands dairy farmers and has become the pillar industry to drive the regional economic development of Inner Mongolia. The “8337” developing strategy came out in 2013 according to the development features of the Inner Mongolia itself declared clearly to make Inner Mongolia a possessing and output base of green farming products. The dairy industry, as the most important farming products processing industry of Inner Mongolia, will certainly receive rapid development. This paper discuss from the influence factors of industrial cluster perspective, set the dairy industry in Inner Mongolia industrial cluster as the research object, by analyzing the relation between the development of the Inner Mongolia dairy industrial cluster and its influencing factors to reveal the inherent law of Inner Mongolia dairy industrial cluster development and will has a certain theoretical and practical significance for the further development of Inner Mongolia dairy industrial cluster.This paper set the Inner Mongolia dairy industrial cluster as the research object and identify the development stages of Inner Mongolia dairy industrial cluster, on the base of a comprehensive understanding of the situation of its dairy industry, research the inner relation between the every factors and the development of the dairy industrial cluster according to Potter’s Diamond Model, in the field such as industrial production factors, demand conditions to dairy products, dairy related and supporting industries, the relationship between competition and the cooperation of Mengniu and Yili and the opportunities of the dairy industry development. On this basis, the paper selected influencing factors as independent variables, and selected the average cost of enterprise as dependent variables according to the theory of industrial cluster space effect, using correlation analysis, factor analysis and regression analysis to do the empirical research on the influencing factors to Inner Mongolia dairy industry cluster in order to find the advantages and disadvantages of various influencing factors. Finally, this paper put further policy recommendations based on the research conclusion to the fields such as dairy production factors, the consumption of dairy products, related industries and support industries, enterprise competition and cooperation, and the standpoint of government.
