Clusters - regional concentrations of related firms and
organizations - are seen as being an important element of economic
growth and innovation. But there is little understanding of how
clusters come into existence, and little guidance provided on the
role of policies that are conducive to the formation of clusters.
Cluster Genesis focuses on these early origins of clusters. The
case histories of well-known, established clusters, as well as more
recently-developed clusters are discussed, including:
DT The Hollywood motion picture cluster,
DT Silicon Valley,
DT Boston and San Francisco biotech regions,
DT The Biotech industry in China,
DT Medicon Valley in Scandinavia,
DT The Irish ITC sector.
Leading scholars contribute chapters examining cluster genesis,
the divergent processes by which clusters arise, how multinationals
contribute to cluster development, and how economic development
policy may promote or hinder cluster genesis.
Cluster Genesis uses a variety o methodological perspectives,
examines a range of policy options, and draws on a number of rich
case histories, and will be key reading for academics, researchers,
and students of Economics, Innovation, Sociology, Geography, and
Management Studies, as well as economic development officials and
policy makers.
