Path Dependence, Lock-in, and the Emergence of Clusters: The Case of Istanbul’s Film Cluster

Özlem Öz and Kaya Özkaracalar

Chapter 10 in The Hidden Dynamics of Path Dependence, 2010, pp 161-177 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Film making, arguably the creative industry with the biggest cultural as well as economic impact, is considered both a craft and an industry, and the available evidence suggests that this form of economic activity tends to be concentrated geographically. Yet, there has been very little work examining the film industries in regions other than Hollywood (Dudrah, 2006). On the other hand, although the literature on clusters has been flourishing with interesting contributions in recent years (Martin and Sunley, 2003), it is rare to find studies in the existing literature that specifically focus on and systematically analyze the genetics of such agglomerations (an example of the exceptions is Sydow et al., 2010).
