Strategic formation of competitive high technology clusters

Article Abstract:

The influence of four strategic resources, namely highly qualified manpower, technological infrastructure, knowledge resources and capital, in the competitiveness of high technology clusters is investigated. The competitiveness of the healthcare, agribusiness and environment clusters of the Canadian biotechnology industry are analyzed. Strategic resources are found to follow a sequential path of causality where highly skilled human resources start the dynamics in the establishment of a competitive cluster.
