Theoretical knowledge guides the identification of the maximum (fuzzy membership score 1) and minimum (fuzzy membership score 0) scores as well as the boundaries of the categories in between. Amongst the latter the ‘crossover point’ (that is, the raw score corresponding to 0.5 in terms of the fuzzy membership score) is of special importance, since scores of less than 0.5 but greater than 0 represent objects that are more out of the set than in it, and vice versa. As in the case of crisp sets of Boolean algebra, fuzzy sets can be negated. Predictably, in the former negation switches membership scores from 1 to 0 and from 0 to 1, whereas in the latter the membership of a case in the negation of fuzzy set A is calculated by subtracting its membership in set A from 1. In similar vein, it is possible to calculate ‘logical AND’ and ‘logical OR’ with fuzzy sets. Specifically, logical AND is calculated by taking the minimum whereas logical OR is calculated by taking the maximum of each case in the sets that are intersected. The general principle regarding the ‘necessary conditions’, which are of vital importance in the method developed, holds both for crisp and fuzzy sets: whenever a causal condition is necessary for an outcome, instances of the outcome will form a subset of instances of the causal condition. Arithmetically this translates into the following: set A is a subset of set B if the membership scores of cases in set A are less than or equal to their respective membership scores in set B. In other words, to demonstrate necessity the researcher must show that the outcome is a subset of the cause. The application of the subset principle when assessing the ‘sufficient conditions’, on the other hand, requires the researcher to show that the cause is a subset of the outcome, again by applying the arithmetic relationship ‘less than or equal to’. Finally, Ragin (2000) suggests that probabilistic criteria can be used in a fuzzy set analysis to assess necessity and sufficiency. Thus it is possible to introduce new concepts that imply, for instance, quasi-sufficiency of causal conditions using linguistic qualifiers (benchmarks) such as ‘more often than not’, ‘usually’ and ‘almost always’. It is then possible to use the conventional statistical analysis for proportions to assess whether the observed rate is significantly greater than the benchmark, using probabilistic criteria. 184 Notes and References 1 Introduction: A Background to Clusters 1. It is certainly not the aim here to provide full coverage of the extensive literature on the many aspects of clustering. The works cited in the following pages should therefore be considered as just some examples of the major contributions that have aided our understanding of the subject. 2. Examples of ground-breaking books in the new genre are Harvey’s The Limits of Capital (1982), Massey’s Spatial Division of Labor (1984) and Smith’s Uneven Development (1984). 3. The collapse of the socialist bloc cast some doubt on the credibility of Marxist theory and its application to economic geography. Neo-Marxist works nonetheless continue to be an influential part of the economic geography literature (Bryson et al., 1999). 4. Different studies focus on different dimensions of urbanization, including increasing returns, services, infrastructure and access to inputs and markets. Here we shall concentrate on the most relevant studies for our purposes: those which distinguish urbanization from localization. 5. See, among others, Henderson (1988, 2000), Sveikauskas et al. (1988) and Nakamura (1985). 6. Since it is impossible to express these factors mathematically, Krugman (1995) thinks that they are best left to sociologists. In his view there is no alternative to models, and all thinking involves implicit modelling. However it should be borne in mind that models are merely metaphors that enable us to understand certain aspects of reality, rather than portraying the reality itself. Economic geographers, on the other hand, think that the factors that are omitted from formal models play a key role in determining the spatial agglomeration of economic activity (Martin, 1999). 7. The examples in this section have been chosen from more recent studies. Of course there are many older studies of the geographic concentration of individual indus- tries that provide detailed information on and insights into the emergence and development of clusters. Two classic examples are those of the US shoe and leather industries (Hoover, 1937) and the US aircraft industry (Cunningham, 1951). 8. The products in question are dyes (Basel in Switzerland), pharmaceuticals (Basel, New York and New Jersey), packing and filling machinery (Bologna in Italy), continuous synthetic fibres (Fukui, Ishikawa and Toyama in Japan), musical instruments (Hamamatsu in Japan), ceramic tiles (Sassuolo in Italy); Scotch whisky (Scotland), factory automation equipment (Turin, Milan and Piacenza in Italy), motion pictures (Hollywood), optics (Oberkochen and Wetzlar in Germany), cutlery (Solingen in Germany), woollen textiles (Prato in Italy) and watches (Geneva and Jura in Switzerland). Enright (1990) also includes shorter abstracts of other case studies in the appendix: freight forwarding (Basel in Switzerland), stone and stonework (Carrara in Italy), aerospace (Los Angeles), ski boots (Montebelluna in Italy), pens and pencils (Nuremberg in Germany), media (Munich in Germany), carbon fibres (Osaka in Japan), footwear (Pusan in South Korea), electronics (Silicon Valley in the United States) and textile machinery (Zurich and St Gallen in Switzerland). Notes and References 185 9. For example in her analysis of districts in Tuscany – including Empoli (clothing), Santa Croce (leather tanning), Prato (textiles), Poggibonsi (furniture), Monsummano (footwear), Carrara (marble and building stone) and Arezzo (jewellery) – Dei Ottati (1996) focuses on changes in the competitive context and the strategies adopted by local firms, and concludes that a transformation occurred with respect to strategies for product diversification, innovation and quality upgrading. Crestanello (1996) is also optimistic about the continuing success of the clusters in Veneto and Tuscany, as are Brusco et al. (1996), who argue that the ongoing success of the clusters in Emilia-Romagna has shown that competitiveness is not rendered invalid by high labour costs. Becattini (1990), on the other hand, points to some signs that Italian clusters have found it difficult to adjust to fluctuations in external conditions, particularly the growth of unemployment. 10. The distinguishing feature of the clusters in South Korea, which is classified as a newly industrialized country, is that small and medium-sized enterprises are hierarchically networked and spatially clustered around large enterprises and industrial conglomerates (chaebols) (Nadvi, 1994). 11. In his 1990 study Porter writes of clusters as groups of related industries, regardless of geographical location, and stresses that such clusters tend to be localized in space. Thus a distinction should be made between how Porter uses the term cluster in his 1990 study (closer to networks) and in his 1998 study (geographic clusters). See Chapter 2 for a discussion of this issue. 12. For more on defining clusters see the methodology section in Chapter 3, which discusses the scope and boundaries of clusters. 13. This in turn means that old Fordist regions have undergone a major restructuring, which can be interpreted as a Schumpeterian process of localized creative destruc- tion. The consequences of this have been serious enough to cause a ‘second industrial divide’, according to Piore and Sabel (1984), who claim that flexible specialization is a reaction to the ‘crisis of Fordism’ and can be considered as a partial return to more craft-based modes of production, where there is ‘cooperative competition’ among smaller firms, greater reliance on social relationships (particularly trust) as a means of organizing transactions, and flexible manufacturing equipment and techniques. 14. The two perspectives covered in this section have parallels with the overall approach in the management literature. 15. Krugman’s (1991a) colourful account of the emergence and development of the carpet industry in Dalton is just one of many interesting examples that point to the importance of historical accident in the initiation of a cluster. 16. This also points to the necessity of making a distinction between business and social networks, whose relative importance might result in different kinds of cluster (McDonald and Vertova, 2002). 2 Clusters in the Management Literature 1. With regard to the latter, McCann and Fingleton (1996) found tighter linkages following the adoption of just-in-time production by a small sample of Scottish electronic firms. 2. Relatedly, Parkin (1999) presents a game theoretic model that demonstrates that interfirm cooperation is best fostered by repeated contact, which is in turn reinforced by geographic proximity. 3. The temporary loss of custom that Swiss watch producers suffered as a result of the new technology introduced by Japanese companies is an interesting example in this respect.
