National Industry Cluster Templates: A Framework for Applied Regional Cluster Analysis

Feser, Edward J., Bergman, Edward M.·2000·Regional Studies

Abstract

FESER E. J. and BERGMAN E. M. (2000) National industry cluster templates: a framework for applied regional cluster analysis, Reg. Studies 34, 1‐19. A growing number of cities, states and regions in Europe, North America and elsewhere are designing development strategies around strategic clusters of industries. In many cases, a lack of data on local and interregional industrial linkages, shared business institutions, channels of technology and knowledge transfer, and other dimensions of the cluster concept means that relatively simple measures (location quotients, industry size) are often used to initially detect clusters in subnational regions. In this paper, we suggest a means of using available information on national interindustry linkages to identify potential clusters in subnational areas. Specifically, we derive a set of 23 US manufacturing clusters and employ them as templates in an illustrative analysis of the manufacturing sector in a single US state. The template clusters help detect gaps and specializations in extended product chains and therefore constitute a useful first step in more comprehensive examinations of local cluster patterns. FESER E. J. et BERGMAN E. M. (2000) Des gabarits de grappes d'industries d'envergure nationale: un cadre pour l'analyse appliquée des grappes à l'échelon régional, Reg. Studies 34, 1‐19. De plus en plus nombreux sont les villes, les états et les régions en Europe, en Amérique du Nord et ailleurs qui mettent au point des stratégies de développement visant des grappes d'industries clé. Dans beaucoup des cas, le manque de données sur le maillage industriel local et interrégional, le partenariat commercial, les canaux de transfert de la technologie et de l'apprentissage, et autres dimensions de la notion de grappes, signifient que des mesures relativement simples (quotient de localisation, taille de l'industrie) se voient employer souvent afin de découvrir dans un premier temps des grappes sur le plan régional. Cet article avance un moyen d'employer les données disponibles sur le maillage intersectoriel national pour identifier des grappes éventuelles sur le plan régional. Plus particulièrement, on emploie un ensemble de vingt-trois grappes industrielles aux Etats-Unis comme gabarits pour analyser à titre d'exemple le secteur industriel dans un seul état aux Etats-Unis. Les gabarits aident à découvrir les créneaux et les spécialisations des chaînes de produits élargies et constituent ainsi une première démarche dans l'examen plus approfondi de la distribution locale des grappes. FESER E. J. und BERGMAN E. M. (2000) Schablonen für Kluster der Landesindustrie: ein Grundgerüst für angewandte Regionalklusteranalyse, Reg. Studies 34, 1‐19. Eine wachsende Anzahl von Städten, Regionen und Staaten in Europa, Nordamerika und anderen Orten entwerfen Entwicklungsstrategien, die strategische Kluster von Industrien zum Mittelpunkt haben. In vielen Fällen führt Mangel an Information über örtliche und unterregionale Industrieverbindungen, über gemeinsam benutzte geschäftliche Institutionen, Wege der Technologie-und Wissensvermittlung sowie anderer Dimensionen des Klusterkonzepts dazu, daß relativ einfache Maßnahmen (Standortquotienten, Industriegröße) benutzt werden, um anfangs Kluster auf teilstaatlicher Ebene überhaupt zu entdecken. In diesem Aufsatz wird ein Mittel zur Nutzung vorhandener Information betreff staatlicher. Interindustrieller Verknüpfungen vorgeschlagen, um potentielle Kluster in staatlichen Teilgebieten zu identifizieren. Um präzise zu sein: es wird ein Satz von 23 Klustern der herstellenden Industrie in den Vereinigten Staaten erstellt, und als Schablone in einer illustrativen Analyse des Sektors der herstellenden Industrie in nur einem Staat der Vereinigten Staaten angewandt. Die Schablonenkluster tragen dazu bei, Lücken und Spezialisierung in erweiterten Produktketten ausfindig zu machen, und stellen deshalb einen nützlichen ersten Schritt bei der umfassenderen Untersuchung örtlicher Klustermuster dar.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
