CRITERIA FOR Comprehensive Environmental Assessment Industrial Clusters

http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/files/industrialcluster.pdf

Hi, to be more specific, when you are searching for journals, you need to identify three unique areas; discipline, sector, country and publishing costs. In this case, It is a bit hard to direct you to a specific journal because it is a general title that could be in any discipline, that is why I suggested journals that could be interested in this paper. But I hope these links help for a start.

Thank you Leonidas A. Papakonstantinidis I will go through the references provided. I appreciate your response Bruno Frischer, thank you for pointing out that there is no standardized model. I have searched for one for a long time now. I will consider the issue of dimension as you suggested as I attempt to define the construct.

I want to thank you both, I will refer back to you as the need arises.

Thank you for attempting.

From what I know, the real income in the hands of a Millennial is lower than that of a baby boomer of his/her age band from the respective period, this is owing to the considerably lower remuneration and the effects of inflation and cross country exchange rates to name a few. An interesting concept is the creation of new billionaires, in very short periods. This trend of creation of new billionaires in short cycles is set to continue. Which adds to the increasing number of potential luxury consumers.

What is interesting is their pattern for luxury consumption. Contrary to baby boomers, they prefer minimalism in exteriors of their luxury space and very less interruption in terms of personalized service.

I am curious to find out as to what is the sweet spot where the Millennials could be engaged to create a value proposition for them translating to better brand affiliation. 

I agree with David it is probably necessary to be qualitative to begin with, but bear in mind that you want your clusters eventually to be measurable, so pick up whatever quantitative facts you can.  Ask the firms (and others):

Groundings:  what resources (human, natural, technology and other) and infrastructure are they using and where does it/ did it come from?

Enterprise: what are the firms, how do they interact (compete/cooperate/ignore and how do they compete - eg design, price, speed of service ....) and how do their suppliers and related and supporting businesses interact?

Markets:  what's the size and nature of the local market (and how much of that is met from within the cluster) and what kind of access does the cluster have to markets further afield?

If you can get answers to questions like these, covering more than one person in each organisation if you can, to pick up diversity of views, then you can begin to form an opinion of why there 'had' to be a conglomeration or cluster at this place, and what kind of things can sustain it and make it competitive.

Good fortune!

Cluster policies are a must in boosting Chinese industrial and technological development. There are no specific laws on the subject, but both at national level and at the local ones have built several instruments of intervention. To get more information on this topic, you can ask directly to two young Italian researchers, who are studying in depth the Chinese industrial districts: Valeria Bellomo, University of Ca’ Foscari, and Angela Sarcina, from Universy of Salento

I very agree with last opinion. I can add, that in our research driven in last 10 years in Polish Industry System, I see significant meaning this two different tracjectories in well- and low-developed countries. In first group, spatial proximity plays important role for innovation activity. For second group, more important is technological proximity. It seems, that in less-developed countries spatial and technology proximity work opposite way - closest means lack of knowledge. It's much different as in well-developed countries.

I presume that you need an idea of spatial econometrics first.

Spatial model is a model where you want to allow for spatial dependence between the entities in the study (say, firms). The presence of spatial dependence between firms could explain the relative locational effect effect of the firms (clustering) which might influence firm's performance.

kindly google Elhorst Spatial econometrics Raising the bar, or any papers by Anselin, or Kelejian etc. for more info on spatial econometrics.

Nobody has picked this up so far, but I'd like to share what I found myself, in case anyone is interested and comes across the post. Within the "Compendium of Evidence on the effectiveness of Innovation Policy" a number of interesting reviews have been written:
