A Stage and Eclectic Approach to Industrial District Development: Two Policy Keys for Survival Clusters in Developing Countries

Mario Davide Parrilli

Chapter 5 in SME Cluster Development, 2007, pp 82-104 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Through this chapter we intend to continue the analysis on clustering begun in Chapter 4 and to identify more clearly the main hypotheses of this Part II of this volume, which refer to a specific type of cluster that is localised in developing countries: the ‘survival cluster’. This represents the less dynamic kind of cluster, composed mainly of craft producers oriented to local markets and, therefore, achieving a very low rate of capitalisation and growth. Nevertheless, this kind of cluster is very common in developing countries (Altenburg and Meyer-Stamer, 1999; Knorringa, 2002) and, hence, deserves special attention.
