This paper will carry out Regional Competitive Framework to understand how cluster, firm behavior, and business environment impact on innovations performance in a both static and dynamic way, and further provide policy implications for promoting innovations. In this paper, Innovation would be perceived as innovative activities from firms’ subjective views, measured from Community Innovation Survey (CIS). Consequently, six aspects of innovation activities would be discussed, with EPO patents as objective innovation measurement for reference. (Less)
