Abstract

Industrial clusters have been developing in a large number of locations throughout the world, not just in Silicon Valley and Bangalore. Historically industrial clusters have played critical roles in industrial development in East Asia, notably in Japan and Taiwan (e.g., Levy 1991; Sonobe and Otsuka, 2006; Whittaker, 1997). As will be discussed in Chapter 3, industrial clusters have been developing rapidly in many parts of China in recent years (Tang and Cheng, 2000; Zhang, 1999). Moreover, we have found a number of industrial clusters not only in South Asia, including India and Bangladesh, but also in Sub-Saharan Africa (e.g., Akoten and Otsuka, 2006; Akoten et al., 2006). These observations strongly suggest that industrial clusters have clear advantages for industrial development. Therefore, it is critically important to understand the mechanisms underlying cluster-based industrial development in order to design appropriate strategies towards such industrialization.
