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 creation and strengthening of
competitive clusters. Themes include: * the wide variety of
existing clusters and the diversity in their emergence and growth;
* the international mobility of factors and demand linkages; * the
role of different network types and the social setting; * the
accumulation of capabilities in key large actors and the importance
of spinoffs and new firm formation; * the role of different
learning regimes and sectoral specificities; * the importance of
social networks, labour 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.
