Synchrony evolution of multiple network and technological innovation of Chinese industrial cluster

Technological innovation of industrial cluster is a focus in resent innovation research, which also has essential practical meanings to Chinese industrial transformation and upgrading. Based on existing research, this study analyses the relationship between network evolution and mode of industrial cluster technological innovation, applying multiple network theory. The following conclusions have been researched from this study. First, manufacturing network facilitates process innovation of industrial cluster, while R&D network facilitates product innovation. Second, evolution path of technological innovation network is manufacturing network upgrading to R&D network development or R&D network upgrading to manufacturing network development. This study deepens the understanding of industrial cluster innovation process and has some practical implications for industrial cluster development.
