A good study on clusters

Karla Krodel [kmkrodel@ysu.edu] Youngstown State University, has alerted us to the release of the report, "Cluster Initiatives in Developing and Transition Economies" by Christian Ketels, Göran Lindqvist and Örjan Sölvell. The report draws on a recent survey (GCIS 2005) to provide a basis for improving cluster initiatives as a tool for economic development.

Karla's group participated in this second global cluster research study. You can download the report off the right side of Stockholm School of Economics website.

You can meet Karla and some of her colleagues at the June 28th Building Innovation Zones meeting. Updates here. For questions and to register, email betseymerkel@gmail.com.
