A Study of High-End Equipment Manufacturing Industry Cluster Network and Innovation Capability

Abstract

Industrial cluster is the source of international or regional competitive advantage. The characteristics of network structure determine the transfer of knowledge and information in the cluster to a certain extent. In this paper the type and representation of cluster network structure are firstly theoretically analyzed. And then the relation between cluster network cluster and innovation capability is discussed, i.e. whether there is any influence on cluster innovation capability and how to influence it. Based on the analyzed results, Deyang high-end equipment manufacturing industry cluster innovation network in China is empirical studied from a practical point of view. Both the western China equipment manufacturing industry network structure and its effects on cluster innovation capability are considered. Finally some targeted countermeasures to perfect the equipment manufacturing industry cluster innovation network are proposed. IntroductionThe essence of innovation is a process of knowledge acquisition and integration, the diffusion of innovation is the main form of enterprises within cluster to innovate. In this way, knowledge and information can be used rapidly and efficiently of the members in the network. Then the innovation performance will also promote quickly. At the same time, due to the effect of the international financial crisis, since the second half of 2008, there is a sharp contraction equipment at home and abroad market demand. Both the enterprise production and management are in difficulties. With the economic downturn, the sustainable development meets up with challenges.Innovation can be a communication channel between the members of the social system in a particular period of time [1] . And the pattern of innovation diffusion between members in social groups and the structure of social organizations have a complex and deep connection [2] . Bell [3] studied the relation among cluster, network and innovation and pointed out that the location within or outside the cluster and the cluster structure the of enterprises will affect the enterprise innovation effects. Ahuja et al., [4] believed that the network is made up of a series of the relationship among members. Liu et al., [5] explored the individual and overall features of cluster innovation network structure and effects on radical innovation and imitation innovation diffusion. Wang and Wang [6] studied the relationships between cluster member characteristics influence on the performance of enterprise innovation from the perspective of social network of industrial cluster. Yang and Huang [7] analyzed characteristic of the mobile phone industry cluster innovation network based on the perspective of network location effect on innovation in Hangzhou. Wei et al., [8] studied the industrial cluster network process impact on innovation performance with the empirical method. Li [9] studied characteristics of 311 ceramic industry cluster innovation network structure. Ren et al., [10] discussed the influence of regional innovation network structure on ...

Network Proximity and Communities in Innovation Clusters Across Knowledge, Business, and Geography: Evidence From China

“…From the community perspective, we find that the similarity of communities between knowledge, business and geographic networks are very low, which indicates that enterprises have different partners in technological citation, business transactions, and geographical location. Different enterprise types in the network composition reflected different network characteristics [42]. The difference in the composition of the three-layered network nodes in the innovation cluster of A City has led to the different structure of their communities.…”

“…The direct factor is the number of nodes and edges in the community, and the importance of the nodes in the network is also an important factor [43]. The difference of the community cluster proximity index can be affected by external factors such as the government's concentrated policies and the region's culture and institutions [42], [44].…”
