Abstract
In the dictionary of foreign words and phrases we can find the word “cluster” with the following sense: aggregation, group and in a wider meaning: association, integration.By explaining the geographical concentration of economical and innovation processes in the food processing sector, clusters, and especiallybusiness clusters, play an important role. This essay deals exclusively with business clusters, so the term cluster is used also for business cluster.I tried to collect the most relevant indicators determining the formation of clusters in the Food Processing Sectors and to analyze whether acorrelation can be found among the analyzed indicators.
Highlights
The concept of clusters is a modern definition of the geographical concentration of economic activities as important factor of economic development
The most well known concept originates from Michel Porter. He drafted the so-called “diamond model” of competitive advantage (Porter 1990). He viewed the concentration of economic activities in clusters as a result of “competitive advantages” of firms in finding new and improved ways to compete in an industry and to bring innovation faster to the market (Regional clusters in Europe, 2002)
Based on the above mentioned theoretical introduction, it is clear to see that it is a basic requirement to have a solid background for analyzing the geographical concentration of enterprises and related actors like universities, research institutes and intermediaries on the field of food industry
