A Study On The Influence Of A Cluster Of Small And Medium-sized Enterprises With The Competitiveness Of Enterprises In The Cluster

The amazing development of a cluster of enterprises originates from its prominent competitive advantage,and the establishment of the competitive advantage is based on its inherent competitiveness.In this paper,based on domestic and foreign iteraturial review and comment of cluster of enterprises,utilizing the external economy theory,the competitive advantage theory and the society network theory,in-depth analysis of the development situation of the cluster of small and medium-sized enterprises and the competitiveness of enterprises in the cluster was carried out,and the relationship between the cluster of small and medium-sized enterprises with the competitiveness of enterprises in the cluster was studied in emphasis.Latent variables such as the cluster's external environment,size,structure,resources, capacity as well as the competitiveness of enterprises in the cluster were determined,and the structural equation model was established. In accordance with needs of the research,the interview questionnaire survey has been designed,a great deal of empirical data has been obtained,a model has been tested.Through theoretical research and empirical analysis,this article has made the following results:First,the path diagram and the path coefficient of the cluster's extemal environment,scale,structure, resources and capacity to the competitiveness of enterprises in the cluster have been obtained.Second,the contribution of the cluster on enterprises in the cluster is mainly the growth environment(i.e.the growth environment comes from the cluster such as scale effect, information and so on),and the influence from the higher level capacity (such as the cluster's reputation,control power,other patents etc.) is limited.Third,the greatest contribution to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises in the cluster from the cluster is competitive pressures brought by the internal competitive environment.On this basis,this paper further draws a number of enlightenment to promote the competitiveness of enterprises in the cluster.The empirical study method,the conclusion as well as the enlightenment, has a certain degree of theoretical and practical significance:on the one hand,the insufficiency of research of the competitiveness of enterprises in the cluster has been made up.At the same time,it has a valuable reference to solve relocation of the current Zhujiang Delta area's manufacturing enterprises.Compared to the current study focused on the overall competitiveness of the cluster,this study takes the cluster's internal relations structure and the influence on the competitiveness of enterprises in the cluster as a center,no matter the angle of research,the research technique,the research conclusion,is certainly innovative.
