Abstract:

With the globalization of economy and progress of science and technology, more and more enterprises currently find it very difficult to develop all by oneself in the furious market competition. In order to deal with the furious market competition, many enterprises make adjustment to their competition strategy by turning from antagonistic competition to cooperative competition. Enterprise cooperation, as an innovation in enterprise organization, has become an effective way to strengthen the enterprise's competitiveness. The main part of enterprise cooperation consists of two or more than two independent corporate enterprises free from administrative affiliation.Enterprise cooperation exceeds the normal market transaction but does not reach the integration under certain economic system in order to share resources and pool risk, including frequent exchange of technology, capital, information and personnel. The main driving force of enterprise cooperation is to reduce production cost to gain the market competitiveness. Then according to the activities of the enterprises, enterprise cooperation is classified into different models such as research and development cooperation, manufacture cooperation, marketing cooperation (co-marketing) and capital cooperation. Some concrete enterprise cooperation models can still be extended from these four types of models. To the regional economic development, enterprise cooperation is like a two-edged sword, which can either quicken regional economic development or block regional economic development. Generally speaking, enterprise cooperation can bring advantages and disadvantages to the regional economic development. The advantages are as the following: expand regional market, construct regional innovation network, improve regional science and technology level, and collect regional development capital. The disadvantages are as the following: make the regional development depend on the outside too much, bring heavy energy consumption and induce pollution transfer, loss of regional market and band. It is deemed that cooperation is still an effective way to improve the enterprise's competitiveness in the near future.In the process of enterprise cooperation, we should bring into full play the advantages of enterprise cooperation while avoid its disadvantages.
