The advancement of science and technology, together with the development of productivity,
has led to the continuous increase of the customers consumption level and competition among
firms. Colossal economic and social changes are happening, which makes the whole market
more and more uncertain. China, in particular, has reached the turning point where it is essential
to complete the economic transit and melt into the global economic system. As a result, the
uncertainty from inter-environment and outer-environment brought by 3C forces domestic
firms to carry out organizational and institutional innovation in order to sharpen their edges of
international competition.
Industrial cluster and supply chain management, acting as the effective regional economic
development platform and the organizational management paradigm, are becoming key
points where many regional economies can survive and develop. Even though the reform and
opening-up has encouraged regional governments to put an emphasis on the regional economic
development and supply chain management strategy diffusion, actual operations fail to show
successful results. Therefore, there remain many things to be explored, such as how to develop
regional economy by upgrading its industry, and how to improve small-and-medium-sized firms
competency in industrial cluster through supply chain management. However, a majority of
current studies generally apply the theory of industrial cluster and the theory of supply chain
management separately to research, i.e. few experts have ever embedded both.
Thus, the book considers that there exists a combination of industrial cluster and supply
chain management. Industrial upgrading of industrial cluster can be achieved via developing
from some low-added value, non-core ties to high-added value ties along the value chain. In this
way, industrial cluster can develop a full or almost full supply chain structure in the same region.
