Abstract

Inter-organizational learning exerts an influence on the endogenous growth of cluster by affecting the stock of knowledge and the level of ability. By taking 128 enterprises in manufacturing cluster as samples, a model studying the internal mechanism that involves the effect of inter-organizational learning on the growth of cluster is constructed and the empirical test is conducted. The results show that the inter-organizational learning improves efficiency largely; however it does not enough to innovation effect. Inter-organization learning effect depends on not only gathering dynamic but also the negative moderating of discrete repulsion. Finally, the measures for strengthening the learning among enterprises in a cluster and limiting the scale of cluster are put forward, they have an important meaning for bring learning effect into play and promoting the upgrade of cluster. And the conclusions explain the phenomena that learning effect is either weakend or overrated and provide a powerfully theoretical basis.
