Research on Mechanism of Cluster Enterprise Innovation: A View of Co-Governance

Since 1990s, there has been a growing concern about the role of cluster enterprises in stimulating a regional and in turn a national competiveness. Especially in the context of emerging technologies and related knowledge-economy business models, linking stakeholders in dynamic clusters is believed to enhance competition and regional innovation (OECD, 1999). Whilst industry cluster contains a huge number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) varied in the fields of technology, production and marketing, the highlighted issue is to deal with the integrated mechanism of innovation, collective learning, networking and collaboration. The purpose of this paper is to contribute new empirical evidence and theoretical analysis to this issue through a case study of Xiqiao textile cluster enterprises.
