This paper rejuvenates the existing discussion on the importance of cluster approach to industry development strategies. Current evidences suggest that the shape of economic policy and practice is changing significantly around the world. Governments continually search for new tools and policy formulas to improve economic performance and create economic prosperity for all citizens. In this context a more proactive and strategic role for government in support of the cluster-based economic development model has emerged. This paper uses Singapore's petrochemical industry as an example to study the cluster approach to industry development. In doing so, there is much optimism to the importance of state and its institutions to play a significant role on industry development. Nevertheless, the study also raises doubts on whether the cluster-based strategy is due to the concept itself or due to other important factors.

Generally, it is known that the agglomeration economies appear in some industry clusters which were developed naturally. But, in Korea, most of industry clusters were built by government. This research was carried out to evaluate the performance of governments zoning investment, in other words, industry cluster policy. In this research, we use the data of manufacturing firms in Kyunggi-province. For the microeconomic analysis, we use the KIS-VALUE data of 2008. As the empirical test methods we use both multiple regressions and Propensity Score Matching. In conclusion, there is no evidences that firms in industry cluster have better performances. Surprisingly, in PSM analysis, we find the evidence that firms in industry cluster show less innovative performance.

According to IASB(International Accounting Standards Board), R&D(Research and Development) is defined as a tertiary sector industry combining research and development. Many studies investigated R&D industry clusters in the form of high-tech cluster(Coe et al., 2007). However, these studies only generalized various spatial cluster of R&D industries. In particular, the studies could not considers cluster formation process over time lacking statistical significance in space-time perspectives. This study, therefore, indicates the limitation of recent R&D cluster literature which only considers either time or space. In addition, this study explores space-time clusters in R&D industry together with textile and cloth industry for comparison. Discovering the existence and location of clusters, this study utilized space-time K function and space-time scan statistics. The result shows that R&D industry presents significant clusters only in spatial dimension. No significant clusters were found in space-time dimension. However, textile and clothing industry presents significant clusters in both spatial and space-time dimensions.

This paper aims to explore the innovation milieu of red-pepper agro-industry in Bonghwa County, in the northern part of Gyeongbuk Province, and suggest policy recommendations for bringing up local agro-industry from a cluster perspective. It turns out that the capabilities of Bonghwa red-pepper agro-industry to innovate are remarkably weak let alone soft infrastructures such as learning networks between innovation agents and social capital. In this sense Bonghwa red-pepper agro-industry can be viewed as an agricultural area simply specialized in production sector rather than a kind of agro-industry cluster. For moving up Bonghwa red pepper industry into an innovative cluster, the paper suggests that the policy makers need to focus on cultivating local learning communities, building a region-wide incorporated brand, promoting the local agricultural technology centre as a network hub of cluster and fostering the functional links between universities and local innovation agents, covering farmers, agricultural organizations, agro-food producers and the local government.

Korean Film Industry is focused on the Seoul Metropolitan Areas. Recently regional governments are interested in Film Industry and they are constructing the Film Industry Cluster powerfully. Especially the Government of NoMuHyun's the policy of the regional development is changed to the central focused development in the Governmen of LeeMyungbak. And somebody insisted that Film Industry Cluster is based on the Seoul Metropolitan Areas and the moving of the film related public organization to the Busan City should be cancelled for the development of the Korean Film Industry. But the Busan should be the main city in constructing the Film Industry Cluster and the public film organizations should be moved to the Busan.

Aerospace industry is a combination of high technologies which has several characteristics such as product reliability, precision, light weight, and energy efficiency. Nowadays, each country is trying to invigorating knowledge and information sharing between the companies for the synergy effect of aerospace industry. However, the research and empirical analysis on the vitalization of aerospace industry cluster are insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to firstly classify the supporting functions of government for aerospace industry cluster into five types by analyzing existing literatures and status reports issued by government. Secondly, companies are surveyed on the five classified types of supporting functions by questionnaire. Questionnaire survey responded by 30 aerospace companies in Gyeongnam aerospace industry cluster are analyzed. Quantitative analysis methods were used for statistical analysis. Based on the analysis, improvement directions of government supporting functions are suggested. The results of this study is expected to help policy making for invigorating the aerospace industry cluster.

There is no reference grasp only embedded SW market because embedded SW is built in SW production. In this paper, In order to know only embedded SW market, we used estimation method size of the amount of production. We draw suitable industry cluster structure of embedded SW market estimation. As we estimated size of embedded SW market by industry cluster. And, We calculated importance of embedded SW by industry cluster and finally we estimated size of embedded SW market. Result of estimation, added values of embedded SW estimated about 27 trillion.

The Phase and temperature changes of large clusters formed in a free jet expansion of acetylene in 14atm and 233K has been studied. The cluster has been treated as a sphere composed of many shells. A mean diameter of 4.88 microns was obtained by modeling the experimental cooling curve of clusters based on evaporation and heat conduction theory.

This paper examine the changing ecosystems in Malaysia, starting with the government policy driven greenfield cluster of Cyberjaya, which is part of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) mega project. In this context of an emerging economy, predominantly production oriented, the role of the government was crucial with respect to implementing policies and building infrastructure for the ecosystems. First, the roles played by the cluster development agency, universities, and industry are explained. As the cluster developed, this paper, taking an entrepreneurial ecosystem approach, explores how some actors evolved and changed their roles to become catalyst organisations established for the cluster now serving nationwide. This was followed by the emergence of new actors in the ecosystems, for example, knowledge intermediaries, and new roles for universities. In addition to actors such as universities and industry, this paper recognizes the emergence of media organisations as new actors in the entrepreneurial ecosystems in Malaysia.
