Abstract: Abstract In the past decade, the cluster concept has become a fashionable subject, in particular in regional economics and economic geography. Hundreds of regional-sectoral agglomerations have been ‘detected’. A meta-study, for instance, was able to collect and systematically capture more than 800 case studies on individual clusters (van der Linde 2003). Political bodies have widely adopted the cluster approach and have implemented strategies to foster their clusters, both on a regional as well as on a national level (Roelandt and den Hertog 1999; Dohse 2003; Garrett-Jones 2004; Fromhold-Eisebith 2007; Motoyama 2008).
