“ Even if the public authority that oversees the cluster is highly competent and attempts to maximise local welfare, an optimal cluster policy looks like something extraordinarily difficult to achieve.“ “ Cluster policies that already look fraught with difficulties in a world of benevolent governments look extremely unappealing when political agency is explicitly taken into account .“ (Duranton 2009, p. 26-27; emphasis added) Public Choice Economics: Implications for Cluster Policy ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Transfer Channels: Summary of Evidence ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Widespread Consultants Common, but doubts about transferability Journeys Low, limited to regional/national scene German practitioners hardly participate in international KCs Knowledge communities Informal exchange btw state ministries, otherwise rare Personal communication Some cases in cluster management for transfer of procedural knowledge Personnel mobility low (limited to Porter, manuals hardly known nor used) Literature Occurrence / Relevance Channel

Interregional vs. Path-dependent Institutional Learning based on Hassink/Lagendijk (2001: 69), also cf. Nonaka/Takeuchi 1995 Interregional learning is embedded in path-dependent local learning processes. Cluster approach generic explicit accumulated experience, learning by doing („laboratory“) local-specific tacit (Re-)Contex-tualisation Decoding Adaption Decontex-tualisation Codification Regional cluster concept path-dependent learning (incremental, cumulative)
