Cluster Studies
The Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness has assembled a set of standardized descriptions of more than 800 industry clusters in 52 countries, ranging from watches in Hong Kong, tufted carpets in Southwest Flanders, and wine in Napa Valley. Each profile measures a cluster in up to 120 dimensions including:
- basic descriptive data such as a cluster’s name, location and employment.
- statistics covering cluster competitiveness such as world export share, growth, and measures of innovative capacity.
- complex qualitative information concerning the reasons behind the cluster’s competitiveness, its rise, and sometimes also its decline.
These profiles have been culled from a large body of literature on clusters that has been created in recent years by cluster practitioners and academic researchers alike.
Using the approach developed by the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness we have developed cluster profiles for some of Ontario’s clusters. Results are shown below. Your on these cluster profiles are appreciated.
