Abstract

Cet article discute l'introduction de l'idée de cluster industriel aux Etats- Unis et l'utilisation de cette idée qui ouvre une initiative de développement économique dans la région de Puget Sound, une région composée de plusieurs localités dans l'Etat de Washington. L'initiative de Puget Sound, appelée Partenariat de Prospérité, utilise l’analyse de cluster pour concentrer l'attention sur des questions telles que l'éducation et l'infrastructure. Cependant, une attention limitée accordée aux rapports interindustriels dans l'initiative Partenariat de Prospérité a entravé jusqu’à présent l'efficacité de cette initiative et This article discusses the introduction of the industry cluster idea in the United States and the use of this idea in crafting an economic development initiative in the Puget Sound region, a multi-country region in the state of Washington. The Puget Sound’s initiative, called the Prosperity Partnership, uses a cluster analysis to focus attention on issues such as education and infrastructure. However, limited attention to actual inter-industry relationships in the Prosperity Partnership initiative may have hampered the effectiveness of the initiative and its ability to draw in significant actors in the regional economy.
