I would still like to see a qualification stating that R16 private and public initiative often interacts in cluster development, and that the degree of private and public sector involvement usually differs from case to case.
When outlining their research methodology, the authors should state precisely how many interviews they conducted. It looks as if one interview was done with the cluster manager in the six regions, but the authors also claim to have interviewed ‘the presidents of cluster firms’ (p. 8, line 20) without indicating the number.
