Governments and regional authorities often express the belief that
the key to prosperity and economic expansion is related to the
ability of countries to sustain regional clusters of
competitiveness and innovation. The book reviews the most important
conceptual approaches to the analysis of the emergence, growth and
evolution of clusters of innovation. Drawing from the different
experiences of industrial districts and high-tech regions such as
Silicon Valley, Boston's biotech region and Hsinchu-Taipei, the
contributions in this book offer a broad interpretative framework
and policy implications for the creations and strengthening of
competitive clusters.
Themes include:
q The wide variety of existing clusters and the diversity on their
emergence and growth
q The international mobility of factors and demand linkages
q The role of different network types and the social setting
q The accumulation of capabilities on key large actors and the
importance of spinoffs and new firm formation
q The role of different learning regimes and sectoral
specificities
q The importance of social networks, labor mobility and face to
face contacts as vehicles of knowledge spillovers
Broad implications are drawn for the design of policies to
encourage successful economic clusters in developed and developing
clusters.
