The structure, fitness capability, and upgrade of industrial cluster

Abstract

Abstract: The survival and development capabilities of industrial cluster are mainly depending on its structure including firm conglomeration and other supports. The index about the industrial cluster is designed in terms of large firm centralization, cluster brand, special market, public technology platform, and industrial association. The existing 112 industrial clusters with over five billion Yuan annual total output in Zhejiang Province are classified into four structural types; it is shown that the majority of existing clusters are in the situation of small and medium-sized business conglomeration with low large firm centralization and weak supporting systems. Meanwhile, the criteria of survival, development, and fitness capabilities are designed to do the statistic analysis on four typical industrial clusters. The results reveal that there are significant positive co-relationships between the structure index and survival, development, and fitness capabilities of clusters, i.e., the large firm centralization and comprehensive supporting system would promote the fitness capabilities of industrial clusters. Furthermore, the dynamic upgrade processes of the cluster structure are analyzed in terms of the four typical clusters in order to find out three typical paths to promote the cluster and provide theoretic supports for the policy makers.

Key words: cluster structure, fitness capability, upgrading path, small and medium businesses
