This series on research in international human resource management and strategy aims to foster discussions on contemporary developments in these fields. It highlights the significance of strategy and human resource management in the globalized context, emphasizing their roles in achieving competitive advantage, addressing performance issues, and fulfilling corporate objectives. The series will present the latest research findings in these areas. This volume specifically delves into industry clusters, featuring diverse concepts and cases from various authors. It seeks to provide an in-depth exploration of industry clustering from both management and policy perspectives. The examination focuses on individual firms within clusters, leading to a novel understanding of clusters as networks of firms linked by relationships with suppliers, similar businesses, and government institutions. The resources attributed to firms within these clusters give rise to the concept of "value adding webs." These webs are proposed to overlap, forming a cohesive industry cluster. The book elaborates on this concept and applies it to various cluster cases, contributing valuable insights to the discourse on industry clustering.
