Exploring Correlation of Industry Cluster Alternative with Cluster Formation and Correlation of Cluster Formation with Cluster Effect: A Case Study of Taiwan Precision Machinery Industry

Abstract

This research purpose was to explore industry cluster alternative factors, cluster formatting factors, cluster effect factors, and correlation of cluster alternative dimensions with cluster formation dimensions, and correlation of industry cluster formatting dimensions and industry cluster effect dimensions. This research utilizes Taiwan precision machinery industry for a case study. The methodology is through experts method, factor examination, to explore the industry cluster alternative factors, cluster formation factors, and cluster effect factors; Utilizing canonical correlation analysis of the multiple-regression analysis explores correlation of industry cluster alternative dimensions with cluster formation dimensions, and correlation of cluster formation domain with cluster effect domain. The result was discovered: industry cluster alternative dimensions and industry cluster formatting dimensions have significant correlation. The higher the selectivity of industry cluster alternative will have the higher clusters formatting. Industry cluster formatting dimensions and industry cluster effect dimensions have significant correlation. The higher the selectivity of industry clusters formatting will have the higher clusters effect.
