Abstract

This paper is aimed as a contribution to the process of upgrading old industrial clusters towards a new status of innovative clusters. The concept of 'lock-in' is followed as it applies to a specific resource-based industrial cluster, to assess the value of this concept in the degradation of such clusters in a Chinese context. After identifying factors leading to the lock-in situation, we introduce the analytical framework of He-Xie Management Theory to investigate the potential role of this emerging management theory in promoting transition from old industrial clusters to innovative regions.
