Competitiveness Evaluation of Innovative Industrial Clusters from the Perspective of Niche
Innovative industrial clusters are strategic forces that form competitive advantages of modern industries through aggregative innovation.Based on niche theory,a theoretical analysis framework of competitiveness evaluation of innovation clusters is constructed by identifying niche factors of technology,organization,capital,and service innovation resources.Applying niche breadth,overlap,fitness and comprehensive competitiveness evaluation models to measure the competitiveness of 70 innovative industrial clusters in China.The evaluation results show that:the niche breadth of innovative clusters is increasing year by year,implying that innovative clusters in China cover an increasingly wide range of resource space,enhance the competitiveness of resource agglomeration.The niche overlap of innovative clusters has two extremes issnes:excessive competition and overdispersion.The niche overlap is relatively high that the clusters are close in geographical locations or with the same dominant industry.The niche fitness of innovation clusters is low in general,and the evolutionary momentum is relatively high,indicating that most clusters are less competitive in terms of the competitiveness in niche adaptability,and the gap between them and leading clusters is significant,but they have great development potential.According to comprehensive analysis,innovative industrial clusters have formed an industrial innovation space pattern composed of four echelons.From the perspective of industrial characteristics,there are obvious cluster niche advantages of the new generation information technology industry and the related service industry,while relative niche disadvantages of the energy conservation and environmental protection industry,the high-end equipment industry and the new energy vehicle industry.From the spatial dimension,the niche competitiveness of innovation clusters in the southern coast is the strongest,while innovation clusters in the northwest face the challenge of innovation ecological vulnerability.As a result,some strategies are put forward,including resource collaborative agglomeration,cluster dislocation competition and regional coordinated development to further optimize the niche competitiveness of innovative industrial clusters in China.
