Cluster, Competitiveness, Attractiveness, Innovativeness - How Do They Fit Together?

This paper is an attempt aiming Lit developing, theoretical concept providing guidance for cluster analysis. It is organized around four concepts: Cluster. competitiveness, attractiveness and innovativeness. The proposed simple framework may Constitute basics for cluster conceptualizing. It call also offer a platform for some more empirical Cluster analysis since it combines concepts central for this phenomena. In particular: (1)It shows relations linking Cluster With competitiveness, activeness and innovativeness (inside relations of the scheme); (2) It delimits these concepts by Outlining alternative dependencies (Outside relations of the scheme), (3) It feeds the created scaffolding with some theoretical and empirical content. The preliminary review of selected literature seems to confirm the existence of suggested relations. Proposed framework Should be seen as first step towards further more detailed and SO Much needed Cluster Studies. Perhaps it can be regarded as a tiny contribution to Cluster theorizing
