The influential factors of the knowledge spillover of trans-nationalcompany’s subsidiary in a cluster area

Abstract

Abstract: Based on cross-sectional data of (Information Communication Technology) ICT cluster of Pudong District, Shanghai, The influential factors of the knowledge spillover of Trans-National Companies (TNC’s) subsidiary in a cluster area are empirically researched. The result indicates that the embeddedness and independence of TNC’s subsidiary, the relations between TNC and Chinese native enterprises have the significantly positive influence on the knowledge spillover of TNC’s subsidiary. In order to boost the knowledge spillover of TNC’s subsidiary, the measures must be taken to accelerate the embeddedness of TNC’s subsidiary, consolidate the relations between TNCs and Chinese native enterprises, make subsidiary becoming a network node of the cluster.

Key words: industry cluster, TNC subsidiary, knowledge spillover
