This book rigorously explores the critical, initial stage of cluster emergence in which the seeds for further growth are sown. Whether economic growth actually occurs, however, ultimately depends on various regional conditions and the processes in place.The contributors offer a broad spectrum of conceptual perspectives and empirical case studies on the regional factors and policies required for economic growth. They discuss the link between new clusters and established regional paths, the generation of institutions and endogenous dynamics, and the patterns of emergence and growth of successful clusters. A number of important questions are addressed, including: · How do opportunities and crises influence cluster emergence? · Is cluster emergence purely random or can it be planned? · How can emerging clusters be identified and their growth patterns measured? · How can regional policies support cluster emergence? Filling a gap in the literature on the actual genesis of clusters, this path-breaking book will prove a fascinating read for academics focusing on economics, geography, entrepreneurship, technological change and innovation, and regional studies.

`The empirical data and analysis is rich and well-written and so is the policy section. . . the book provides a valuable addition to the literature of regional clusters and should be included as a must-read for those involved not only in research, but also in policy-making on regional clusters.' -- Jukka Teras, Regional Studies
