    Endorsement by Harvard Business School Faculty member and TCI Network President, Christian Ketels:
    “Cluster development has over the years turned from an academic idea into a profession. This has created a host of experiences that are now being drawn on to create a more systematic understanding of what works and what doesn’t in the practice of cluster management. Joan Martí gives in his book a first-hand impression of the lessons he has learned as a manager in Catalonia’s cluster program and an active member of TCI, the global practitioners’ network. His view that a robust business strategy and a clear structure for collaboration have to come together to achieve a meaningful impact will ring true for many people in the field.”


    Joan Martí, the author, describes the book as:

    The book is a journey through the world of clusters, not only in geographical terms (with examples from the 5 continents), but also as for the process which starts with understanding how clusters are born, how they are led by key people, how they're organized in an innovative governance and foster transformational projects.

    The book’s philosophy is to provide a practical tool to help countries, regions, cities, companies and organizations in general to understand that they can be competitive in this changing world if they understand their capabilities and implement the needed winning strategies. To do so they will probably need a partner to travel together in the road to competitiveness, the perfect partner is the one sharing the same challenges, the cluster partner.

    It’s a practical book, based on storytelling from best practices and errors to be avoided in different sectors and countries. An optimistic approach thanks to its positioning as a tool for any strategist to be successful leading a project despite the difficulties of our environment. Including learnings and experiences from the author’s international background.
