硅谷与深圳:一个历史比较分析

Silicon Valley and Shenzhen: A Historical Comparative Analysis

本文认为：尽管硅谷和深圳的发展过程中有一些相似性（特别是开放、灵活的社会网络及公司间的协作网络），但我们也应小心不要把这两个地区简单等同化。深圳作为“中国的硅谷”的提法，暗示着深圳试图在某些方面模仿（或者应当模仿）加州。这种观点是错误的。深圳不可能复制硅谷的历史或价值标准。实际上，深圳有其自已的价值，这些价值与其地理位置、政治试验、移民模式、在全球经济中的地位以及作为中国经济改革和将来发展的“示范”城市的作用紧密相连。这些因素使深圳具有紧密的社会协作网络、近在咫尺的专业知识及材料、与全球市场相连、对风险容忍度较高以及较强的创业精神：这些因素也正是可能继续有助于深圳将来成功的独特因素。

This essays explores that although Shenzhen and Silicon Valley have some similar features （especial the opening and flexible social networks and the intercompany collaboration networks ）, we shall be careful not to equate these two zones. Shenzhen is labeled as ＂the Silicon Valley of China＂ implies that Shenzhen mar- ket tries to copy （or should copy） California. This opinion is wrong. Shenzhen is not likely to be able to replicate Silicon Valley＇s history or value standards. Shenzhen has its own values that are closely linked to its geography, its political experimentation, its patterns of migration, its place in the global economy, and its role as a ＂model＂ city for China＇s economic reform and future development. These factors give Shenzhen the dense social and collaborative networks, the close proximity of expertise and materials, the global connections to markets, and the tolerance for risk and entrepreneurialism; it is these elements that are likely to continue to be the unique factors contributing to Shenzhen＇s success in the future
