“…Since the early 1990s, the role of industrial clusters and SMEs in economic development has drawn a great deal of scholarly and policy interest in the context of developing economies (Altenburg and Meyer-Stamer 1999;Ketels and Memedovic 2008;Schmitz and Nadvi 1999; see LundThomsen and Lindgreen 2014; Lund-Thomsen and Pillay 2012 for reviews). The literature suggests that clusters matter for economic upgrading because, first, the agglomeration of productive activities generates economies of scale and scope external to individual firms but internal to the cluster, and, second, it facilitates local joint actions by cluster firms and institutions to address common problems based on their interdependence.…”

“…Virkur klasi eykur nýsköpun, stuðlar að aukinni framleiðni, hvetur til góðra viðskiptahátta og ýtir undir traust (Porter, 1998(Porter, , 2008Delgado o.fl., 2014). Virkur klasi er til marks um gróskumikla starfsemi á tilteknum svaeði sem hefur aðdráttarafl og laðar til sín fleiri verkefni og viðskipti, ekki síst erlendis frá (Ketels og Memedovic, 2008). Í virkum klasa eru margir og mismunandi aðilar þátttakendur og innan hans er unnið að verkefnum og samraemingu sem oft eru skipulögð innan svokallaðra klasaframtaka (e. cluster initiatives) (Ketels og Memedovic, 2008;Guð-jón Örn Sigurðsson og Runólfur Smári Steinþórsson, 2014b;Runólfur Smári Steinþórsson, 2016b).…”

“…Hugtakið klasi varpar einkum ljósi á þrennt: a) tiltekna staðsetningu þar sem fyrirtaeki og stofnanir tengdar tiltekinni starfsemi hafa safnast saman, b) virka efnahagsleg starfsemi sem leiðir til verulegrar verðmaetasköpunar á svaeðinu og dregur þannig fram sérstöðu þess á alþjóðavísu, og c) viðskiptaumhverfi klasans markast af framangreindu samspili og þegar vel gengur verður til jákvaeður spírall vegna þeirra ytri áhrifa sem efla klasann (Ketels og Memedovic, 2008). Þar sem klasi er virkur og öflugur njóta fyrirtaeki, stofnanir og svaeði sem eiga í hlut aukinnar hagsaeldar vegna samsöfnunar, samtengingar og samvirkni sín á milli (Wolman og Hincapie, 2015).…”

ÁgripÞessi grein fjallar um þróun tónlistarlífs á Íslandi á undanförnum árum. Margir íslenskir tónlistarmenn hafa átt velgengi að fagna og skapað sér nafn á alþjóðlegum markaði. Stjórnvöld hafa stutt við þróunina á ýmsan hátt og þau hafa mikil áhrif á tónlistarlífið. Umsvifin í greininni benda til að þróunin undanfarin ár hafi ýtt undir myndun klasa í tónlist á Íslandi. Markmiðið með þessari grein er að rannsaka þróun tónlistarlífs á Íslandi út frá kenningum um klasa og samkeppnishaefni. Einnig er þróunin á Íslandi borin saman við þekkta tónlistarklasa erlendis. Byggt er á raundaemisrannsókn þar sem spurt er að hvaða marki megi líta á tónlist á Íslandi sem klasa og ef svo er á hvaða stigi klasaþróunar íslenskur tónlistarklasi kunni að vera. Einnig er spurt um hvaða áskoranir tónlistarklasinn kunni að standa frammi fyrir. Niðurstöður gefa til kynna skýrar vísbendingar um tónlistarklasa á Íslandi og að klasinn sé að faerast af mótunarstigi yfir á þróunarstig. Í niðurstöðum felst hagnýtt gildi því varpað er ljósi á atriði og aðstaeður sem geta ýtt undir frekari uppbyggingu á sterkum tónlistarklasa á Íslandi. Samhliða er tónlistarklasinn daemi um klasa í litlu fámennu landi og niðurstöðurnar framlag til þekkingar á klasa í slíkum aðstaeðum. AbstractMusic as part of creative industries in Iceland has been on a positive growth path. Many musicians from Iceland have been succesful in establishing their name and brand internationally. The government has played a critical role in the growth of the music field. There are manifestations that provide support for the existence of a music cluster in Iceland. The purpose of this article is to study the music field from a cluster perspective and reflect on the development with reference to well known music clusters abroad. On the basis of a case study method and cluster assessment tools it is analysed to what extent it is possible to confirm the existence of a music cluster in Iceland. There are clear indications of a music cluster and it is concluded that the music cluster can be described as a potential cluster. The context of the cluster can also be seen as positive for further development but there are many challenges identified. JEL flokkun: M1, M2

-The concept of knowledge-based economy (KBE) in this article constitutes the basis for the undertaken considerations regarding the implementation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in the development process of high-tech clusters. It has been indicated in the article that this type of economy is characterised by quick development, particularly, of these disciplines which are related to information processing and science development, mainly the high-tech industry, including the technologies and services of an information society. It has been emphasised that in these market conditions the key sources of competitive advantage of business entities comprise, inter alia, the efficiency of knowledge management as well as various knowledge-intensive undertakings, which create newer and newer value for key stakeholders. The main subject of this paper is to analyse the development and application of RFID within the high-tech cluster. Firstly, the paper aims to present a literature review on the strategic importance of RFID technology for firms located in high-tech clusters through tracing a broad range of literature. Secondly, it constitutes an attempt to characterise the factors determining the decision to implement this technology, by focusing on the research results.
