Abstract
Industrial districts and clusters have long been known for their positive contribution to local development. In recent years, inspired by successful examples such as the Silicon Valley, many local government and public agencies in Europe and elsewhere have started to launch initiatives to develop technology clusters in selected locations. Usually, cluster initiatives are carried out by ad hoc cluster organisations. These are intermediate bodies employing people in charge of animating clusters, the so-called cluster managers. This work deals with the activities carried out by cluster managers and the competences required by them. It also investigates the differences between the management of technology and industrial clusters. The main source has been the secondary analysis of results from the largest survey in this field carried out in Europe to date. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
