Description

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce several case studies on industrial clustering, in an effort to gain an understanding of, and to draw some lessons from their developmental experiences. Second, we conduct questionnaire surveys and field interviews for several clusters in member economies. After the analysis, we present policy recommendations to help member countries to establish new clusters or to promote the further growth of existing clusters.
