Abstract

Scottish Enterprise, the development agency for Scotland, has recently launched a ‘Clusters Approach’ for its key industrial sectors, arguing that if regions and nations are to be competitive in the next century, they must be at the forefront of knowledge production. Scottish Enterprise (SE) readily acknowledges that, in order to compete, the information and ideas created and developed through clustering are reliant on strong partnerships, and that if synergy is to be maximised, then the whole process of the knowledge based economy is dependent upon: “working to build trust and a shared vision” (Scottish Enterprise 1988, p.1).
