Title | Competitive or cooperative relationships in clusters: a comparative study of two internationalising agro-processing clusters in Ghana |

Abstract | An efficient policy supporting clustered business operations necessitates an appreciation of the dynamics of rivalry and collaborations among businesses. This paper postulates that variation in competition and cooperation can significantly influence the nature of business relationships among clustered businesses, which is essential for cluster policy particularly (Newland, 2003) as most research on rivalry and cooperation in clusters have been in developed economies. This paper seeks to fill this gap in the literature in African clusters based on original empirical research. |
