Features: The rise of industrial clusters has become a significant driving force behind China's rapid economic ascent. After years of development, under the constraints and influences of internal factors and external environments, many industrial clusters have begun to enter a period of adjustment, even showing signs of decline. To maintain vitality and strong competitiveness, industrial clusters must undergo continuous transformation and upgrading. This book conducts a systematic, practice-oriented study of China's industrial cluster transformation and upgrading for the first time in the country, exploring the issues and strategies involved. Based on a brief review of global industrial cluster development practices and theories, as well as a summary and analysis of the history, current status, characteristics, capabilities, environments, and challenges of industrial clusters in Guangdong, the book proposes the fundamental content and strategic approaches for industrial cluster upgrading, tailored to the characteristics of China's economic and social transformation period. From the perspective of industrial system optimization, it discusses topics such as industrial clusters and urbanization, cluster commercial and exhibition systems, cluster strategic networks, and cluster internationalization. From the perspective of key factor upgrading, it examines issues like industrial cluster technology innovation, cluster culture, cluster branding, and government behavior within clusters. Additionally, it selects representative regions and clusters as case studies to propose specific strategies, pathways, and countermeasures for industrial cluster transformation and upgrading. This book offers high reference value for individuals engaged in industrial cluster research, theoretical studies, policy formulation, investment and entrepreneurship, and corporate operations.
