From Policy Districts to Industry Clusters:A Study of High-Tech Parks in China
Since 1951 when the Stanford Academe (a predecessor to the Silicon Valley) was founded, many scholars have conducted studies covering some 800 high-tech parks located in more than 50 countries around the world. These studies reveal that most of the successful high-tech parks have a common feature of an industry cluster. Many scholars have also done research on the clarification of the definition and characteristics of industry clusters, innovation advantages and some of the mechanism of industry clusters and cluster policies. Their efforts laid foundations of guiding and accelerating the development of industry clusters in high-tech parks. In china, the first Shenzhen high-tech park was founded in 1985. Since then we have seen the development of 53 high-tech national level parks and a number of them at the provincial level. Traditionally these high-tech parks have made significant contributions in the economic development. However, decentralization, that is, many of the enterprises entered these parks from a range of industries has become key barriers to technological development and innovation. This research analyses some of the reasons for the problem. It also attempts to identify some countermeasures that can be used to resolve the problem. The analysis is largely based on qualitative, comparative analysis, semi-structured interviews, complemented with participation in meetings.
