Changchun Automobile Industry Cluster Development Study

Changchun automobile industry has a history of more than50years, after a halfcentury of development, it have established a good foundation for development andbrand image. The automotive industry is a pillar industry of Changchun City, JilinProvince, Its status as a pillar industry in the foreseeable future, still not shaken, thedevelopment plan of Jilin Province and Changchun City shows that the automobileindustry will be give more support. At the same time, one hundred years developmentof the automotive industry, it has formed a global manufacturing-network, establishedthe invention of large-scale standardized production methods, lean production andmodular production methods, more than one century, the automobile has changedpeople’s life a lot, automobile technology is more and more mature. However, after thefinancial crisis, the world auto industry giants General Motors and Chrysler’sbankruptcy had a significant impact on the development of the automobile industry,the direction of development and production of the automobile industry should begiven to rethink. This article by Changchun automobile industry development andPresent State of the analysis, the theory of industrial clusters and the developmentprocess of the world auto industry giant, in order to identify useful for Changchunautomobile industry development countermeasures.Automotive industry due to the wide range of industry contacts, industry chain isvery long, before and after the association and lateral extent of a wide, you need thecollaboration of many sectors of the need to improve the infrastructure, well-developednetwork of services, the need for strong financial support, so, can bring together themain parties to benefit from a collaborative cluster development has become a modelof development around the automotive industry generally.Marshall’s external theory, Weber’s industrial location theory, Krugman’s neweconomic geography theory, Porter’s theory of competitive advantage of industry agglomeration to form a cluster analysis and interpretation, I will be the definition ofindustrial clusters showing a strong market competitive advantage: industry cluster isin a certain geographical space within and around a particular industry by a largenumber of longitudinal collaborative relationships, horizontal competition between thecomplementary relationship between the enterprise and service organization gathers toform regional economic system. Summary of the theory of industrial clusters, I thinkPorter’s diamond model affect the competitive advantage of demand for related supportindustries, competition, the elements of supply, opportunities, the Government has "sixelements of the critical factors affecting the development of industrial clusters relatedindustries, in close cooperation, mutual contribution to positive externalities, thecluster generated power, the transaction cost savings within the cluster is a majorperformance to reduce cost of doing business within the cluster, the above performance,the cluster internal economies of scale and economies of scope in the cluster growthprocess, there will be a favorable opportunity for cluster development, to capitalize onthese opportunities will promote the further development of the cluster.According to the theory of industrial clusters, Changchun automobile industrycluster in the form, the division of labor, production and research mechanisms, thesupply of government policy, supporting services, the status quo of human capital,summed up a few of the problems facing the development of the ChangchunAutomobile Industry Cluster: First, the lack of innovation capability, and researchmechanisms are inadequate; facilities and service agencies underdevelopment; AutoParts and Accessories Product market less competitive and can not meet demand.Environment of the current market demand faced by the new supply of the policy ofour government on the development of automobile industry and today’s auto industrydevelopment and technical knowledge, the opportunities facing the development of theChangchun Automobile Industry Cluster: First, the market demand for the rapidincrease; government policy the support provides a suitable environment fordevelopment; new energy vehicles to create the auto industry a new era. According tothe theory of industrial clusters and the above problems and opportunities, several Changchun Automobile Industry Cluster Development Strategy: First, improvingresearch cooperation mechanism to strengthen the integration of industrial chain andthe third is to enhance the services ability to support and accelerate new energyvehicles, the core technology R&D and component design and manufacture.
