1 Findings from the Cluster Meta-Study Dr. Claas van der Linde Research Institute for International Management, University of St. Gallen October 4, 2002 This presentation provides an outline of a presentation and is incomplete without the accompanying oral commentary and discussion. It draws on research in progress conducted by Dr. Claas van der Linde and Prof. Michael E. Porter, both Harvard Business School.

2 Cluster Meta-Study The Need for New Methodologies A wealth of individual case studies and cluster reports often more qualitative than quantitative not standardized in methodology or depth of analysis Little systematic, quantitative evidence on the population of clusters as a whole usually focused on a country or a specific region often a narrow focus on some thematic aspect suffer from incomplete data sources and methods The Cluster Meta-Study A multiyear effort to aggregate data from existing cluster publications to learn more about the locational, economic, and competitive characteristics of clusters, the reasons behind their competitiveness, and their patterns of evolution over time 2
3 Meta-Analysis versus Meta-Study Meta-Analysis Meta-Study Based on experimental studies Primarily quantitative data Underlying studies are quite uniform Focus on reporting studies Tests the impact of one or several variables on a dependent variable Seeks to prove a causal relationship Based on non-experimental information Codifies primarily qualitative data Underlying studies are not uniform Clusters as the unit of analysis Captures the universe of available studies Descriptive statistics and associations rather than causal relationships Given the medical connotations of meta-analysis we employ the term metastudy for our purposes 3
