  7. Innovation Means...Different Things in Different Locations Assimilate Adapt Create • The impact of innovation on a location depends on the diffusion of innovative performance across the entire economy, not just isolated success …global knowledge, technology, and practices …global knowledge, technology, and practices to local needs and circumstances …valuable new knowledge, technology, practices, and products and services

Delgado/Porter/Stern (2012), Ketels/Protsiv (2013), Aharonson et al (2013) e.g., Delgado/Porter/Stern (2011), Lindqvist/ Wennerberg (2008) e.g., Neffke et al (2009); Boschma et al. (2013)

  10. Key Issues for India • Match the objectives of cluster efforts with the needs of the economy • Match the structure of the support efforts with the existing institutional capacity • Use different types of cluster efforts in different situations (i.e,, high tech, manufacturing, handicrafts, etc.) • India can benefit significantly from cluster efforts and has a lot to learn from the international experience • A successful Indian cluster program will be an Indian answer to Indian needs, not a copy of foreign efforts
