In Conclusion, we presented again three hypotheses in a new paragraph in Conclusion after the first paragraph (p. 22). Then, in the following paragraph (p. 23) we added a discussion on how differences in cluster policies and cluster management are linked to those in national systems of innovation, with three sentences.
Broad Comments The paper fills an important research deficit by focusing on the interdependence between national cluster policy programmes and their implementation by cluster management on the ground.
