Research on Micro-Macro Process of Industrial Aggregation Based on Social Network Interaction Model

Abstract:

It is necessary to detect the aggregation dynamics and aggregation process of industry cluster for there are still some problems in the development of industrial cluster. The existing theories are less attention to the impacts of the social network of enterprises and their interactions on the industrial aggregation. We proposed a social network interaction model and research on the industrial aggregation process from the aspect of economic sociology. The impacts of signal effect, network effect and crowding effect on the dynamic micro-macro process of industrial aggregation are discussed and two possible phase transition and its causes in industrial aggregation process are explored. The simulation outcomes are good explanations for industrial aggregation process and made some useful implications for policy-making.
