Summary
Clusters of specialized businesses are being promoted around the world, aided by high-profile examples such as Silicon Valley. Using evidence from high and low income economies and detailed case-studies that show the special conditions behind successful clusters, this book is aimed at students of business location, policy-makers and managers seeking a real-world understanding of clustering.
