Bringing business clusters into the mainstream of economic development
Abstract
Business clusters have been observed and studied since the turn of the century, yet the phenomenon has been vastly underrated and undervalued in economic development and planning policy. As long as branch plants dominate economic development policy, interest in clustering involves merely seeking suppliers for these customers. Today though, as industry restructures, becoming leaner and more flexible, the importance of lateral inter‐firm relationships takes higher policy priority. A comparison of cases from Tupelo, Mississippi and Castel Goffredo, Lombardia, shows the relevance of clustering to localized economic development.

La madurez de las empresas de la provincia de Sugamuxi es una ventaja desde la perspectiva económica del clúster industrial, porque puede garantizar que cuentan con un modelo económico estable y unos ingresos que superan los gastos de operación, garantizando su permanencia si se implementa un clúster.
“La madurez de la empresas en la provincia de Sugamuxi se convierte en una ventaja desde la perspectiva económica del clúster industrial, en virtud a que la misma puede garantizar que estas cuentan con un modelo económico estable y unos ingresos que superan los gastos de operación, garantizando su permanencia de darse la implementación de un clúster, lo cual concuerda con Rosenfeld, (1997).”

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.
