Abstract: Abstract A substantial body of literature explains how the presence of a leading firm in an LIS has positive effects on cluster development. A number of studies underline the effects that leading organizations can have on spillovers, particularly in facilitating knowledge circulation and avoiding lock-in phenomenon. Such potentials exist especially for large firms. This chapter analyses the mechanisms that leading firms can implement to favour the formation and growth of local systems. It then provides a case study of the role of Acer Inc. in developing an information-technology LIS centred around Hsinchu, Taiwan, illustrating the positive effects from a leading firm.
