Abstract :
In this paper, systems theory, modules organization theory and social network analysis methods were used to analyze the causes and evolution mechanism of network structure risk of industrial clusters. It pointed out that a cluster was a self-organizing dissipative structure system, the modular of a cluster network organization not only formed competitive advantage, but also produced potential risk and the network structure risk of a industrial cluster had different characteristics and evolution at different stages of cluster life cycle. The following revelation can be obtained from it that the network structure of industrial cluster was the internal basis to maintain the integrity and function, and the root causes of breeding the risk of industrial clusters. Industrial clusters can improve the ability to prevent risk by restructuring their network structure. The conclusions of this study could build the theoretical basis for the early warning mechanism of network structure risk of industrial clusters. This electronic document is a “live” template.
