The Symbiotic Effect of Regional Logistics and Industry Clusters

摘要

The paper proposes that Regional Logistics mainly provides service to regional industry clusters. In addition, it emphasizes that Regional Logistics is an important part of regional industrial chain and even global industrial chain. By analyzing industrial linkage effect and symbiotic effect, this paper intends to show how important regional logistics are and what kind of role they play in regional economic development. An empirical research into the present state of the industries in Beijing which is China's largest non-port trade center demonstrates that local logistics industry is a pillar as well as a bottleneck of the city's economic development. Thus, the best way to meet the needs of regional industry clusters is to launch manufacturing logistics service.
