Clusters in India as an instrument for enhancing the innovation, productivity and competitiveness of micro and small enterprises

Summary/Abstract: Indian policy towards micro and small enterprises uses a simple definition of a cluster. According to the official Indian documents a cluster is a group of enterprises located within nearby locations and producing the same or complementary products or services. That simple approach is very useful in Indian conditions where cluster policy is strongly connected with development policy for rural areas and small cities. The Indian Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises has adopted the cluster development approach as a key strategy for enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of MSEs and binding it with creation of industrial infrastructure The main concept behind that scheme is to build small local cooperation networks of MSEs, which will change their surroundings in a positive way.
