Research on Intelligently Knowledge Integration Model of Industry Cluster in China Based on Information Fusion

In recent years, research about knowledge diffusion and integration has attracted much attention. Many earlier studies argue that internal linkages are the main factors that influence innovative performance of firms operating within high-tech industry cluster, but as a matter of fact, external linkages are also important especially for clusters in developing countries. This paper investigates how a firm's external linkages have impact on its innovation performance of high-tech industry cluster. By the use of information fusion method, our basic hypothesis is that with the co-existence of high levels of both internal and external linkages, firms can extract more value for advanced innovative performance.
