Abstract

Interaction between companies cannot be taken for granted even when cluster conditions seem to be at hand as exemplified by Claus Steinle, Holger Schiele and Kai Mietzner in Chapter 4. In response to such interaction deficits, networking is frequently used by national and regional policymakers as a way to ‘engineer’ regional development. This book presents relevant cases from around the world, the similarities of which are pronounced. These attempts to promote networking meet with difficulties, while presenting various potential advantages for companies that choose to participate actively in them. The chapters provide examples of various outcomes in terms of marketing cooperation, production cooperation, knowledge transfer, and knowledge development, all of which likely support regional development.
