| Popis: | 96 Due to the surges of globalization, the central government in Taiwan has devolved the financial responsibilities as well as autonomy to local governments. Thus, the promotion of local investment has become a way to achieve these goals. Under such circumstances, the investment promoting policy cannot be made by the traditional policy-making and should increase perspectives of marketing to improve the effectiveness. In the meantime, the density of similar and closely-connected companies is extremely high in specific regions. These industrial clusters bring edge on innovations, externality and scale economies. Therefore, constructing the industrial clusters becomes the key of raising competitability in countries. However, the theories of local investment promoting and industrial clusters are relatively overlooked in the current literature. For this reason, this thesis completes the current literature by developing a network of local industry cluster governance through linking together network governance and stakeholder concepts. Furthermore, this thesis employs a case study of local investment promoting policy and the optoelectronics industry in Taoyuan. This case has plentiful materials for local marketing, diamond model, and network governance analyses. The empicial findings indicate that the formation of the optoelectronics industry in Taoyuan is caused randomly. The advantages of clusters include convenient acquisition of factors of production, small and medium size panel demand increase, complete supply chain and the successful strategy of production. However, the Taoyuan investment promoting policy is not the major cause of the formation. The Taoyuan investment promoting policy is seriously influenced by the central government, yet it performs excellent administrative efficiency. Concerning the network governance of Taoyuan optoelectronics industrial clusters, the local government highly cooperates with companies, while the civil society is relativey weak in this relation. If the participant companies take root in the city, the actor of civil society will have a chance to increase its importance. Therefore, the ideal relation of network governance between local government and industrial clusters will be achieved. |
