The interaction of clusters between manufacturing and producer services in China
Journal Title: Economic Research-Ekonomska Istraživanja - Year 2017, Vol 30, Issue 1
Abstract
The interactive development of clusters between manufacturing and producer services is important for China to break its comparative economic dilemma. The scientific novelty in this article is embodied by the interaction of various clusters of manufacturing with producer services. Taking the location quotient as the index measuring cluster, it was found that various manufacturing clusters and producer service clusters in the east achieved comparative equilibrium, while the middle and the west were comparatively imbalanced in development. By comparison of influencing factors, it was shown that decline of energy consumption and technology level, acceleration of multinational corporations, strengthening of competition and cooperation and strictness of regulation are beneficial to traditional industrial clusters. However, the effects of these factors on modern industrial clusters were the opposite. Empirical analysis showed that traditional manufacturing clusters had a close relationship with traditional producer service clusters, and were the opposite with modern producer service clusters. Finally, the countermeasures for achieving the interacting development of industrial clusters were proposed from aspects of the gradient development of producer services clusters, the guidance of dominant industries in manufacturing clusters, promotion of industry clusters by centralising high-levelled elements and the diversity of policy guidance.
