Abstract:This thesis aims at investigating into the network structure of regional shipbuilding industry cluster with supply chain view, in order to reveal the network nature and it complexity in industry cluster. Based on shipbuilding’s special manufacture process, we address three characteristics of regional shipbuilding industry cluster: demand-pull, complex network and focal firm. The basic network model of regional shipbuilding industry cluster is single-supply-chain-based, which explains the connection among firms in the basic network under supply relationships; the multi-network model of regional shipbuilding industry cluster is cross-supply-chain-based, which illustrates changes to the network structure brought by blocks production. On the models’ basis, we use complex network theory to elaborate three characteristics of network structure in regional shipbuilding industry cluster: directed-weighted, scale-free and hierarchical network’s modular.
