cluster

Perhaps best known today is Silicon Valley in California. But there are many examples of clusters. These include the industrial districts of Emilia Romagna (Italy), Baden Wurttemberg (Germany), Route 128 (U.S.) complexes around the industries of electronic computers in Ireland and Scotland in developed countries, in countries development include the footwear industry in Novo Hamburgo (Brazil), electronics and software in Bangalore (India), simple surgical instruments in Sialkot (Pakistan) and microelectronics in Hsinchu Science Park (Taiwan Province).

Internationally

country is developing -> The oilseed complex in Argentina

This complex, which is of paramount importance to Argentina, take advantage of comparative advantage in agricultural production that provides the pampas of Argentina, and relatively close to the sea. His departure was driven by: the doubling of international prices of oilseeds and oil, which made it very profitable to produce of both.
Today the complex is already quite mature and exhibits backward linkages, forward and sideways. As far as forward linkages referred processing industry is an important agricultural input that takes (soybean and sunflower) and converts it into oil and products, doubling the value per tonne (from 245 to 485 U.S. dollars). Marketing phase that follows includes important services such as warehousing, transportation and shipping.

development strategy around production complexes, Joseph Ramos.

developed countries -> Emilia Romagna (Italy)

Capital: Bologna
Population: 4 million
economic system:
On the mechanical industry and the high technology agribusiness and food, the production system of the region is characterized by a reality for small and medium enterprises with a strong presence of artisans and cooperatives. To optimize the benefits and reduce the limitations related to the presence of small sized enterprises, the productive fabric of the Emilia-Romagna assumed a particular structure given life to local production systems known as the Industrial Districts.
This system has created spaces for the birth of subsidiaries engaged in the distribution of raw materials or semi between subcontractors and larger enterprises or production of machine tools.
The concentration of many firms belonging to a single production sector has also created a strong skilled workforce that can appeal to all area businesses and at the same time, competitiveness and a circulation of ideas, so far have offset the difficulties that small and medium enterprises in the field of research. Even with its own particularities, are recognizable in this mode of organization, territorial system in Emilia-Romagna cover the main productive sectors, from agricultural machinery to textiles, from the wood furniture industry of ceramic tiles.
