23 The Composition of Regional Economies The Old View: Sectors and Industries The New View: Clusters Manufacturing vs. services High tech vs. low tech Clusters of related industries All clusters are good One path to prosperity Critical is what you do Many paths to prosperity Critical is how you do what you do 33 Copyright 2010 Michael E. Porter
24 The Economic Case for Cluster Policy Create Platforms for Joint Action Path dependency Organize Public Policy around Clusters Coordination failures Local Externalities Information asymmetries Carlyle Group 34 Copyright 2008 Professor Michael E. Porter
25 Organize Public Policy around Clusters Business Attraction Education and Workforce Training Export Promotion Market Information and Disclosure Clusters Science and Technology Infrastructure (e.g., centers, university departments, technology transfer) Setting standards Specialized Physical Infrastructure Natural Resource Protection Environmental Stewardship Clusters provide a framework for organizing the implementation of many public policies and public investments directed at economic development 35 Copyright 2010 Michael E. Porter
26 What are Cluster Initiatives? Cluster initiatives are collaborative activities by a group of companies, public sector entities, and other related institutions with the objective to improve the competitiveness of a group of interlinked economic activities in a specific geographic region Upgrading of company operations and strategies across a group of companies Upgrading of clusterspecific business environment conditions Strengthening of networks to enhance spill-overs and other economic benefits of clusters 36 Copyright 2010 Michael E. Porter

29 Clusters and Economic Strategy Positioning Identifies, communicates, and strengthens the specific value proposition of the location Business Environment Cluster Portfolio Improves the economic platform for all clusters and companies Accelerates growth in those fields where the country has some strengths New clusters emerge from established clusters 39 Copyright 2010 Michael E. Porter
30 The Role of Government in Cluster Initiatives Government should Government may Government should not Support all existing and emerging clusters Participate Enable data collection and dissemination at the cluster level Be ready to implement recommendations Initiate/ Convene Co-Finance Pick favored clusters Pick favored companies Subsidize or distort competition Define cluster action priorities 40 Copyright 2010 Michael E. Porter
31 Applying Cluster Mapping Data Part of the assessment of a regional economy - Composition of the regional economy - Cross-regional benchmarking of strong clusters - Matching of regional clusters with regional business environment strengths - Identifying the nature of comparative advantage of a region or state Identification of potential for new clusters - Emerging clusters - Opportunities at the boundaries/intersections of clusters Part of the regional strategy development - Clusters as signals of the regional value proposition - Clusters as bridges to neighbors and other regions Impact assessment and feed-back to policies 41 Copyright 2010 Michael E. Porter
32 Clusters and Regional Economic Development Strategy Clusters are a forum to identify fundamental challenges in the regional business environment - Current economic and fiscal challenges have placed pressure on regional strategies from the boom years. Rather than a extra during good times, coherent regional strategy is critical for overcoming current challenges to our fiscal health and economic growth. Clusters provide new roles for government, companies, and other institutions in economic development - Regions must leverage and expand the scope of the innovation system that supports regional competitiveness in advanced economies. - The strategy for long-term growth relies less on bidding wars and high-profile investments than on creating conditions for firm development and cluster formation. Clusters are critical engines in the economic structure of state and regional economies 43
