Governance of Industrial Districts: Bibliometric and Cluster Analyses

“…This is especially true for policy makers since an effective regulation to design governance roles and practices would allow district actors to properly contribute to the network decision making. Since industrial district development is strongly affected by public policy focus (O'Gorman & Kautonen, 2004;McDonald et al, 2006), this paper encourages policy makers to support district firm cooperation through proper governance systems promoting both the entrepreneurial activities of district companies and the overall district development. …”

“…Following the wave of reforms in the 1990s and prompted by the European Union (European Commission, 2002), the majority of these studies has discussed the role of district committees and meta-managers also in connection with local policies and national regulations in force by examining their contribution to the district strategy and providing prescriptive suggestions for network governance (Wegner & Padula, 2010). Despite this line of inquiry has emphasized the importance of the local asset base in supporting the industrial district development and the meta-managerial effectiveness (European Commission, 2002;McDonald, Tsagdis, & Huang, 2006), both theoretical and empirical contributions on this topic are still limited and usually anecdotal (Mistri, 1999).…”

Establishment and Growth of Business Clusters with Public Aid

“…At the European level, many overviews and reports of cluster policy support in EU member states are carried out within initiatives of European Cluster Alliance, European Cluster Observatory (EC, 2007;EC, 2008;EC, 2010).

Особенности Государственной Политики В Сфере Управления Инновационно-Промышленными Кластерами

“…Так, анализ временных рядов по производительности труда и экономическому росту Японии показал отрицательную корреляцию между расширением кластера и оказываемой государственной помощью. Исследования, проведенные на данных об объеме государственной помощи и темпах роста 43-х индустриальных кластеров Западной Европы, показали крайне низкую степень корреляции между анализируемыми показателями [7].К противоположным результатам привел анализ влияния государственной поддержки на развитие кластеров в зависимости от этапа их становления в Японии, Малайзии и других странах Азии. Результаты трех независимых друг от друга исследований привели к общему выводу о том, что государственная помощь может оказать благоприятное влияние на развитие кластера на начальном этапе его реализации.…”
