The Change of Cluster Specialization through the Process of Globalization
Mads Bruun Ingstrup and Poul Rind Christensen
Globalization is weakening the inner dynamics of clusters
The local cluster production system is being split up
Globalization is fostering clusters because of the concentration of for example knowledge, innovation and spillovers
Exploring how and to which extend the
specialization of clusters changes as a
result of how globalization influences the
organization of production within them
Clusters should be understood as configurations that:
comprise a proximity and a specialization
encompass competing and cooperating actors
and produce positive spilloversMarshall (1920), Porter (1998)
Cluster types
Andersen et al. (2006)
Global value chain perspective
(Gereffi et al., 2001; Gereffi et al., 2005)
How clusters take part in systems of global
production and how this affects the local
economic development and upgrading

Schmitz (2002) and Sturgeon et al. (2008)

Research Method
A qualitative, descriptive, comparative and
theoretically informed case study (Sayer, 1992)
Main source of information is secondary data.
Publications like ‘Business clusters in times of
pressure’ and ‘When milk transforms into steel’
