Evaluation Research On Petrochemical Industry Cluster Competitiveness In Dongying

As a new regional development theory after Growth Pole Theory and Gradient Transfer Theory,Industrial Cluster Theory works as a guidance of regional economics development.It has been demonstrated by international experiences that industrial cluster is the outcome of globalization,and would be the choice for countries and regions to react against globalization.After years of development,the petrochemical industry of Dongying has formed a complete industrial cluster in refining,marketing,sales,warehousing and transportation.The city's crude oil processing capacity of 69 million tons / year.There are the most concentrated and largest scale petrochemical enterprises in Dongying,petrochemical industry has become a pillar industry in Dongying.At present,the development of petrochemical industry in China is facing many problems,industry overcapacity,sluggish sales,high external dependence,resource bottleneck,emission reduction and improvement of environmental protection requirements,forced corporate restructuring and upgrading,a large number of non-compliance enterprises are shut down.In order to develop the economy of Dongying,it is necessary to push forward the process of industrialization and accelerate the upgrading of the competitiveness of the petrochemical industry cluster.The thesis is aiming to apply GEM Model,which was derived from Porter's Diamond Model to conduct quantitative analysis on the developmental level of petrochemical industrial cluster in Dongying.After summarizing other correlative research on industrial cluster of both petrochemical industry and other industries,the author has established an index system,based on GEM Model,applicable to regional petrochemical industrial cluster.During the study process,the author designed questionnaires for experts and use AHP method to get index weights.Then the author designed another questionnaire to Dongying petrochemical industry enterprises to obtain each score for the indices.Finally,the author calculated the GEM competitiveness score for Dongying petrochemical industrial cluster.
