Abstract
The interactive development of clusters between manufacturing and
producer services is important for China to break its comparative
economic dilemma. The scientific novelty in this article is embodied
by the interaction of various clusters of manufacturing with producer
services. Taking the location quotient as the index measuring cluster,
it was found that various manufacturing clusters and producer
service clusters in the east achieved comparative equilibrium,
while the middle and the west were comparatively imbalanced in
development. By comparison of influencing factors, it was shown that
decline of energy consumption and technology level, acceleration
of multinational corporations, strengthening of competition and
cooperation and strictness of regulation are beneficial to traditional
industrial clusters. However, the effects of these factors on modern
industrial clusters were the opposite. Empirical analysis showed that
traditional manufacturing clusters had a close relationship with
traditional producer service clusters, and were the opposite with
modern producer service clusters. Finally, the countermeasures
for achieving the interacting development of industrial clusters
were proposed from aspects of the gradient development of
producer services clusters, the guidance of dominant industries in
manufacturing clusters, promotion of industry clusters by centralising
high-levelled elements and the diversity of policy guidance.
