Success Factors of Economic Clusters
Economic clusters are geographic concentrations of interconnected companies, specialized suppliers, service providers, and associated institutions in a particular field that are present in a nation or region...
 Developing and strengthening of clusters is an important agenda for governments, companies, and other institutions.
But why do some clusters fare better than others?
Why do some clusters fail to perform to their full potential or to achieve the desired results, whereas similar ones or even ones with lesser resources perform better?
I wonder what are the most important success factors for clusters? Is it the natural endowments, infrastructure, finance, human capital, cultural capital, knowledge or the combination of one or more.
Is it the intervention from outside or the resources within that decide the outcome?
