Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides a review and discussion of recent debates on clusters in the management literature in order to complete the background on clusters presented in the previous chapter. An additional purpose of the chapter is to highlight the unique contribution made by the management literature in this regard. As Porter’s (1990, 1998) approach directly parallels the central concern of this study due to its focus on the link between clusters and competitiveness, the discussion will pay special attention to this approach and the literature it has spawned, after considering some recent studies in the general management literature that focus on different aspects of the issue.
