Abstract

The final part of this book tackles the supporting role of public institutions in the sustainability management of business clusters and production centres. In this respect, the chapter calls on local authorities to take steps to find the right balance between legislation and the promotion of sustainable actions to the benefit of clusters/production centres and the local community alike. In so doing, the industrial policy should enhance cluster production traditions and their local distinctive expertise in order to create ‘unique’ models, which, as part of the cultural heritage of the region, would contribute to the social and economic development of the community while boosting their competitive advantage on a global level. The chapter concludes by introducing potential courses of action institutions could embrace for developing and strengthening clustering-based approaches in SMEs, as well as implementing viable policies in full support of the sustainable competitive model.
