ABSTRACT
As a kind of very typical organizational form of industry, Industrial agglomeration
appeared in different geographic scale and industrial types. And also as the formation of
Countries’ competitive advantage. Industrial agglomeration form effective competition
and cooperation, highly specialized division coordination network, with strong endoge-
nous development momentum, interactive development with the industrialization and
urbanization.
Manufacturing has the most characters of industrial agglomeration, It is an impor-
tant criterion on measure a country and regional comprehensive strength, and determine
a country can be brought into international industrial division system or not. Therefore,
it is a good choice to study manufacturing as the industrial agglomeration object.
This paper construct industrial agglomeration mechanism framework. Based on the
industrial agglomeration characteristics, discuss the influence factors of industrial ag-
glomeration into several levels. The first level is based on geography adjacent investiga-
tion, including endowments conditions, space costs and economies of scale. The second
level is based on the industry association, including local demand, product differentia-
tion and input-output contact. The third level is based on the knowledge spillover effect
by the formation of investigation of behavior subject interaction.
This paper study three latitude of Shandong province’s manufacturing from the
time, industry and regional space. According to industrial agglomeration mechanism
analysis, design the influence factors of affecting measurement model of Shandong
province. The main conclusions are as follows:
(1)From the trend of manufacturing industry, the overall level of Shandong manu-
facturing compared with the national remained relatively advantages.
(2)From the analysis by industries, Shandong manufacturing industry developing
disequilibrium, traditional manufacturing has obvious advantage, but advanced manu-
facturing industry develops relatively slowly.
(3)From the manufacturing of regional spatial distribution, industrial agglomera-
tion presents certain disequilibrium among the cities.
(4)Through the regression analysis of Shandong manufacturing, show that local de-
mand, scale economy, the industrial connection effect are the most important factors of
affecting the local specialization.
Finally, combining the research results of Shandong manufacturing agglomeration,
contribute suggestions for promoting manufacturing industry agglomeration of Shan-
dong province.
