The Evolution and Strategy of the Virtual Enterprise Clusters Model Based on the Network Effect Economy

Caused by the network effect economy,the virtual enterprise clusters overcome the geographical restrictions of traditional clusters' factors such as space,information and resources.To analyze the network effect mechanism,the enterprise clusters evolution can be divided into spaceresources type,supply-chain type and virtual-enterprise type of cluster models.By examining spatial characteristics of the Network effects,we find the developmental strategies such as increasing the scale effects,operating on the technical standards,and locking in the switched costs can be adopted to promote the development of virtual enterprise clusters.
