He advocated various aspects of clusters development and cluster evolution as below:
 
 
  • Research on clusters has made significant progress, developing a consistent conceptional framework over the last decade
  • Economic development practitioners increasingly look at the cluster concept as a promising new policy approach
  • Clusters are moving from being an experimental, innovative idea to the mainstream of research and policy
  • Cluster development has to use targeted approaches to mobilize clusters at different stages of their evolution
    • Strengthen clusters with existing economic activity and the willingness to act together
    • Unlock potential clusters in areas with beneficial business environments or activities in neighboring clusters
    • Upgrade the overall business environment to create the opportunity for entirely new clusters to emerge 
  • The total growth of an economy will always be driven by a combination of existing, emerging, and entirely new clusters
 
It was a very informative seminar especially for management students. The session concluded with healthy discussion on role of Cluster in Economic Development.  We look forward to many such knowledge enhancement seminars.
