Brief description
The study aims to derive generally valid cause-and-effect relationships in the development of information and communication technology clusters based on an analysis of the ICT clusters Silicon Valley (USA), Oulu (Finland), Bengaluru (India), and Dresden (Germany). Based on the findings, an evaluation of the cluster potential of the Southern Hesse / Rhine-Main-Neckar region will be made. This region includes the conurbations of Frankfurt am Main, Wiesbaden, Mainz, Darmstadt, Heidelberg/Mannheim, and Ludwigshafen.
Project focus
Comprehensive analysis of scientific publications (secondary analysis) and development of a cluster development model based on the Systems Dynamics approach.
