Although clusters are regarded as important elements in economic
development, the strong focus in the literature on the way clusters
function is contrasted with a disregard for their evolutionary
development: how clusters actually become clusters, how and why
they decline, and how they shift into new fields and transform over
time. Although recently new cluster life cycle approaches emerged,
both empirical evidence and theoretical contributions on this topic
are still limited. This book therefore contributes to broadening
our knowledge on the life cycle and evolution of clusters both
empirically and theoretically. It contains chapters on inter-firm
relations as drivers of cluster transformation, as well as chapters
on the heterogeneity of firms and firm capabilities during cluster
evolution and on the role of institutions in stimulating the
emergence and growth of clusters. Case-studies stem from different
industries and technologies, such as biogas, film and television,
new media and medical technologies, and from different countries,
such as Sweden, Austria, Switzerland and South Korea. All chapters
underline that cluster evolution does not only depend on internal
dynamics, but that external relations are an integral part of
cluster dynamics. This book was previously published as a special
issue of European Planning Studies.
