ABSTRACT: In this paper, we establish a framework for analyzing knowledge integration across organizations in the context of innovation clustering. In order to pinpoint the process of national innovation clustering and the internal process of knowledge integration, we view innovation clustering project from a systematic perspective. Based on multiple case studies of typical innovation clustering projects, this study identified multi-dimensional innovation clustering capacity of dominant firm, and established process model of innovation clustering involving innovation capability and knowledge integration. The results show that the perfect matching of innovation clustering capacity and the process of knowledge integration in the whole life cycle of innovation clustering is the key to innovation performance, and the dominant firm centered national innovation system needs the synergy of innovation clustering capability of dominant firm and efficient process of knowledge integration to integrate resources of all subjects and enhance innovative capability of whole system.
