However, it has been mainly concentrated taking an economic geography perspective. One of the objectives of this chapter is to bring a management, marketing, and strategy perspectives to the topic. Following a review of some of the key literature related to geographic colocation, social networking, and regional innovation lessons from a Latin American perspective and especially for the new Chilean cluster-oriented local economic strategy will be analyzed.
