Abstract

Industry clusters have become the focus of public debate, economic policy, and academic research. This is a relatively recent phenomenon. A quick search using the Lexis/Nexis news retrieval service shows that just a decade ago, in 1990, when the “Competitive Advantage of Nations”1 which stresses the importance of industry clusters first appeared, the major newspapers in the English-speaking world ran only four articles in which the term “industry cluster” occurred. By 1993, this figure had increased to 27, followed by 105 in 1996, 280 in 1999, and 409 articles in 2001. Some of these articles make only cursory mention of industry clusters while others may contain only anecdotal cluster information. Many others, however, contain detailed information on specific clusters.
