Abstract

For Chinese producer services' development, how to speed up agglomeration process and avoid network risk simultaneously should be a realistic question to be solved as a whole but it is rarely discussed in the theoretical circle. Based on the observations on regional innovation cases from Zhejiang province, this paper explores the model of producer services' agglomeration dominated by platform enterprise with the aid of the theory of industrial agglomeration, two-sided platform and evolutionary economics, and it tries to provide theoretical and policy suggestions to solve the question mentioned above. It portrays firstly the architectural characteristics of the service transaction network within these cases form structure, transaction and competition relationship and governance actor, then discusses the mechanisms of multiple agglomeration dynamics and network risk controlled by platform enterprise. It provides an ‘architecture functionalism’ theoretical explanation of this model, also it further discusses the implications of theory and policy contained in it as well.
