Abstract
Logistics industrial cluster is one of the economic geography phenomenon, which includes a large number of logistics enterprises and agencies related closely, besides, logistics industry plays the role of leading industry is the point. Under the background of economic globalization, logistics industrial cluster is shaping and developing with a high speed all over the world. Logistics industrial cluster is an effective way to develop the regional economic, to adjust the industrial structure, to form the economic strategic layout and so on. However, the current academic research of logistics industrial cluster is scanty especially in China. Based on these reasons, a complete and rigorous theory system of logistics industrial cluster will try to be established. Firstly, the paper defines the logistics industrial cluster. Secondly, the paper makes an elaborate analysis of the Characteristic. Finally, the paper explores its essential function. The aim of the theory system of logistics industrial cluster is to provide a reliable theoretical system to the people who are interested in logistics industrial cluster, and to build a solid theoretical foundation for the future academic research.
