Plans for Hanoi City Industrial Clusters - And Research of Experiences of Countries in the World in Developing Infrastructure for Industrial Clusters

Abstract

One purpose of this study is to present lessons and experiences from other countries in developing clusters and industrial zones (IZ). According to OECD, they stresses that “cluster polices exist at the border of industrial policies, regional development policies and science & technology policies, and their ultimate goal is to strengthen industrial competitiveness through enhanced interconnection between the industry and the research sector.” By using qualitative analysis, our study findings show that for example, in case of Thailand, they have many industrial clusters in which they can transfer technology and training programs enhanced from workers across industrial parks. They also focus on sustainable development of industrial clusters. Different from traditional concept of industrial park, Thailand industrial clusters have areas for manufacturing, services, industries, resident, etc.
