Cluster Analysis and the Forest Sector - Where Are We Now?
Abstract
This paper provides a synthesis of cluster analysis used in empirical research on industrial competitiveness. It combines 10 years of experience of cluster research conducted in OECD countries recorded by OECD working groups with the experiences and views of the author on the topic.
Special focus is on the forest cluster, which has attracted less attention internationally compared to other industrial sectors. The purpose of this overview is to produce input for the subsequent stage of IIASA's cluster study in investigating the competitiveness of the European forest cluster from a EU enlargement view.
