By the questionnaire of 470 effective sample enterprises in the 6 manufacturing industrial clusters selected, Structural Equation Modeling and the AMOS software are used to verify the theoretical hypotheses. The findings are as follows: first, entrepreneurial competence has a positive effect on corporate entrepreneurship; second, network relation, betweenness centrality and network scale have positive effect on entrepreneurial competence; third, network relationship strength and network density have different effects on entrepreneurial competence.
