Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book represents an outgrowth from a 2001 international workshop on 'innovation clusters and interregional competition' ... . students of cluster-based economic development will find plenty of interesting material in this book. ... I rarely buy books these days, especially edited collections. However, I would probably make an exception for this piece. There is a good mix of theoretical, conceptual, empirical, and analytic perspectives ... . In short, this is one of the better edited collections I have seen in many years."
