Research On The Impact Of Core Enterprise's Innovation Behavior On Industry Cluster Upgrading

Industry cluster needs to avoid path dependence and lock-ins,but also to confront with problems such as resource shortage,increasing labor price and international trade barriers,therefore it is urgent to solve industry cluster's upgrading and sustainable development.Regarding cluster upgrading,based on the whole cluster,most scholars study it from the perspective of value chain upgrading and innovation network,ignoring the fact that enterprises in cluster are heterogeneous,their behaviors have effects on others and the whole cluster.In combination with our economic background,development must be driven by innovation under the new normal.However,by whom to accomplish innovation-driven? How to achieve innovation-driven? How should industry cluster finish upgrading through innovation-driven? This thesis attempts to analyze them.Therefore,based on the literature review of the related researches,this thesis explained internal mechanism of cluster upgrading and verified the empirical study from a perspective of core enterprise compete innovation-driven,so as to provide possible path and relative policy suggestions.From a perspective of core enterprise compete innovation-driven,this thesis conducted the mechanism--“innovation driven by core enterprise--transmitted by knowledge spillover--industry cluster upgrading”--of cluster upgrading.Enterprises in clusters are micro foundation of clusters upgrading,their behaviors influence others and their transaction status are unequal,heterogeneous core enterprise's innovation behaviors are the dynamic mechanism,its innovation behavior and fruits generate relatedness effects and model effect to other enterprise.At the meantime,core enterprise also is the source of knowledge spillover,transits horizontally and longitudinally through spillover path,which is the transition mechanism.At last,other core enterprise adjusts strategy and change technical,supporting enterprise innovates collaboratively,which have effects on core enterprise.Their interaction and co evolution enhance technical level of both cluster and industry,thus relationship between enterprises becomes tight but full of flexibility,local embeddedness boosts,technical and structure upgrading realize finally.To verify the internal mechanism,this thesis then constructed an empirical research framework about influence of core enterprise innovation behavior on cluster upgrading,discussing mediating effect of knowledge spillover.The core enterprise innovation behaviors are product innovation,technology innovation,strategy innovation and management innovation,knowledge spillover are direct corporation,employee transfer,enterprise derivation and informal communication,cluster upgrading are technical upgrading and structure upgrading.The data quality analysis,measurement model test and structural model test were conducted to research data by means of SPSS21.0 and AMOS21.0,the results reveal that product innovation and management innovation have positive effects on industry cluster upgrading,knowledge spillover plays partial mediation in the relationship between product innovation and cluster upgrading,while plays full mediation in the relationship between management innovation and cluster upgrading.Therefore,in order to accomplish cluster upgrading,enterprises should get promotion themselves continuously,establish the correct concept of competing,increase technical and management skill.Industry associations need to play full role of bridge,encouraging share and transfer of knowledge among enterprises.Last but not least,the government's policy support and encourage are essential.
