What is an Industry Cluster? - Connected firms and institutions whose whole is more than the sum of its parts Geographic concentrations of interconnected companies, suppliers, services, groups and institutions Share specialized infrastructure, labor markets and services Faced with common opportunities and threats Active networks for business transactions, strategies and communications Regional Industry Connections – Potential Industry Clusters and Linkages

Why is Clustering Important as an Economic Development Strategy?: 

Why is Clustering Important as an Economic Development Strategy? A key challenge for all regions is to determine their competitive advantage in the national and international economy. Using clusters as part of an economic development strategy allows a region to: Identify and improve its core/niche industries that form the basis of its competitive advantage Raise awareness of key industry sectors and urge decision-makers to think about their future direction (from both public and private perspectives) Examine opportunities for strengthening and growing core industry sectors (BR&E as well as recruitment) Improve relationships and efficiencies among connected businesses to help make the transition from independence to interdependence

Cluster Initiatives in Wisconsin: 

Cluster Initiatives in Wisconsin Wisconsin Dept. of Commerce has identified ten clusters (soon to be eleven):

How do you Identify an Regional Industry Cluster?: 

How do you Identify an Regional Industry Cluster? Start by Identifying “Driver Industries” - Industry sector that could define the competitive core of a region’s economy. What criteria are used to identify driver industries? Location Quotients (current and time-series) Number of Employees/Establishments Geographical Concentration/Specialization Wages Industrial Output (Sales) Measure of Value Added

Location Quotients 101: 

Location Quotients 101 A LQ compares an industry’s local employment concentration to the rest of the nation. Industry’s local employment Total local employment Industry’s national employment Total national employment Industry Location Quotient = LQ for Plastic and Rubber Product Manufacturing 1,897 72,270 908,138 168,743,115 = 4.88 Location Quotient greater than 1 – indicates an industry sector is an export activity and is a link to the outside economy (brings outside $ into the region) Indicates specialization to some degree

Analyzing Industry Drivers by Geographical Distribution: 

Analyzing Industry Drivers by Geographical Distribution We use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to: Examine geographic concentration and possible competitive advantage Identify potential regional partners and competition State borders or political boundaries should not dictate cluster boundaries Clusters have an inherent geographic association
