Hard measures and soft issues: a potential model for incorporating metrics into cluster based analys
This paper was developed for the 4th Annual Innovation Systems Research Network meeting held in Ottawa, Canada in May, 2003.
This paper moves beyond conventional institutional or narrative-based approaches and proposes the implementation of metrics into cluster analysis. The approach will be based on activity based analysis, asserting that successful clusters require an optimal number of actors to operate within the seven defined cluster-based functions (three primary activities - science, technology, collective and; four hybrid activities).
