The Empirical Impact of Internal Knowledge Structure on the Endogenous Industrial Clusters Innovation

This paper, by using social network analysis and statistical methods, mainly introduces the systematic idea, studies the internal structure of cluster knowledge system, and distinguishes several different cognitive roles in cluster knowledge system. The empirical results show that, although the knowledge in the air "spread evenly", it is mainly among the cores with strong absorptive capacity. The technology gatekeepers are the largest roles of knowledge acquisition, creation, and the other roles have relatively closed cognitive. It is necessary to enhance the absorptive capacity of enterprises in clusters to improve the innovation and learning ability of clusters.
