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.

Summary
In the export-oriented model of economic development, the growth of China’s economy relies mainly on investment and export-led. How to achieve development strategy of innovation-driven has become the core problem in in-depth transformation of Chinese economy. To explain the systematic innovation effect, it is necessary to carry out researches focusing on innovation clustering in the context of the implementation of “National Innovation Strategy”. This paper explored the innovation clustering and knowledge integration process of dominant firm with innovative mega-projects case study and established a process model of innovation clustering. The second section provides the theoretical and conceptual background about innovation clustering and knowledge integration. The third section introduces the methodology of this study and the fourth section elaborates the findings of the multiple case study and discusses how knowledge integration operates in national innovation clustering. The final section concludes and reflects on some directions for further research
