摘要

本研究旨在以苏州工业园区和天津生态城为研究对象，全面了解中国非枢纽城市创新园区的城市区位属性及其与跨国企业外商直接投资(FDI)的关系。设计/方法/方法本研究包括两次实地考察和对39名创新区工作人员的深入访谈。专题分析是对访谈数据和文献进行分析的方法。研究结果表明，城市可以将创新区作为一种战略，建立大规模的知识社区区域，以连接跨国公司和其他全球参与者。作为城市区位的重要制度特征，创新区增加了城市内部的连通性，并将城市连接到全球网络中，从而实现城市间的连通性，从而吸引跨国公司的FDI。本文还从动态知识社区的角度，比较了中国创新园区知识社区建设的主动和被动两种方式，并提出了中国创新园区知识社区建设的若干要素。研究的局限性/启示研究结果可以在其他制度和经济背景下进一步探索，以了解城市区位、外国直接投资和创新区之间的相互作用，以及建立知识社区的动态。本研究对从事城市经济发展和创新区发展与提升的政策制定者和管理者具有几点启示。它为跨国公司考虑在哪里进行外国投资以及创新区可能提供的支持外国直接投资的优势提供了建议。独创性/价值本研究对经济发展以及非中心城市如何吸引外国直接投资和加入全球网络的相关文献有所贡献。它提供了从位于中国非中心城市的两个成功的创新区获得的经验见解。

Locations, city connectivity and innovation zones in China: a dynamic perspective of knowledge community

Purpose This study aims to examine two innovation zones in China, including the Suzhou Industrial Park and Tianjin Eco-city, to gain a comprehensive understanding of city locations attributes and its relationship to inward foreign direct investment (FDI) from multinational enterprises (MNEs) in innovation zones embedded in nonhub cities in China. Design/methodology/approach This research incorporates two site visits and in-depth interviews with 39 personnel working with innovation zones. Thematic analysis is used to analyze interview data and documents. Findings The results highlight that cities can use innovation zones as a strategy to build high scale knowledge community precincts to connect MNEs and other global actors. As an important institutional feature of city locations, innovation zones increase within-city connectivity and connect cities in global networks resulting in cross-city connectivity to attract FDI from MNEs. From a dynamic knowledge community perspective, this research also compares active and passive approaches toward building knowledge communities and identifies several elements of knowledge communities within innovation zones in China. Research limitations/implications The research results could be further explored in other institutional and economic contexts, to understand the interplay of city locations, FDI and innovation zones, and the dynamics of building knowledge communities. Practical implications This research has several implications for policymakers and administrators who work with municipal economic development and the development and enhancement of innovation zones. It offers recommendations for MNEs to consider where to make foreign investments and the advantages innovation zones may offer to support FDI. Originality/value This research contributes to the literature related to economic development and how nonhub cities can attract FDI and join global networks. It offers empirical insights drawn from two successful innovation zones located in nonhub cities in China.
