摘要
产业区(Industrial district)通常定义为一种由小型独立的企业组成的地方生产系统，这些企业专致于单一生产过程的不同阶段，在产业区中人们积极地合作，促进创新(Sforzi，1999)。学者们研究得最多的当代产业区是以传统产业的中小企业专业化集群为特征的意大利产业区，又称“第三意大利”(王缉慈，2001)。“意大利式产业区”(Itali-armte industrial district)定义为一种地理上高度集聚的企业集群，这些企业直接或间接地为同一个终极市场工作，其文化环境特征是共同的价值观和共享知识，企业在一种竞争与合作共存的综合体里相互联系。产业区竞争力的关键是企业之间的信任和合作。
It has been widely recognized industrial dis-tricts, what Michael Porter calls as clusters, character-ize today' s economic map of the world. In the context of the Third Italy, this paper analyses Datang socks/ stockings industrial district in Zhejiang Province, Chi-na . Relying extensively on small and medium sized firms for components and services, the district fosters productivity and innovation. The success of Datang in-dustrial district is similarly attributable, at least in part, to networked industrial system, especially to the Italian model. The paper gives some thoughts on its de-velopment trend and the prospects for the international co - operations. Furthermore, the practical implications that arise from this paper involve industrial policy mea-sures.
